Computer Retro Bus

Welcome to Computer Retro Bus—Lets turn back time to the good ol days, the golden era of PC's and Gaming, doing restorations, repairs, and gaming on real IBM-compatible PCs. I rescue and benchmark 386/486/Pentium/Pentium 4 rigs, fix no-POST issues, recap boards, and tune BIOS/CMOS settings. Expect guides for MS-DOS and Windows 95/98/ME/XP, IRQ/DMA setup, and IDE/SATA/CF storage mods. For gaming, I test classic titles—Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Half-Life, Need for Speed, Far Cry—with real-hardware benchmarks. We compare 3dfx Voodoo/Glide, NVIDIA GeForce, ATI Radeon, AGP vs PCIe, Sound Blaster audio, VGA/CRT capture, controllers, and cooling. Subscribe for weekly restorations, buyer’s guides, game benchmarks, and tuning tips to build the perfect retro gaming PC.
