I'm a sound geek. But I know more about acoustics than old computer hardware. But I basically can understand all the sound yidda yadda technical stuff when I read upon it.#15
I think right now Marvin would know best.

God, no, I'm not a sound geek. But I'd vote for an Aureal 2.0 capable sound card, too, and maybe a Creative card with EAX 2.0 capabilities for backup.I think right now Marvin would know best.

looking for the 8MB V1 with no luck so far, but found a Diamond Stealth II S220 Rendition Verite V2100 pci, and a Voodoo5 agp 4x dvi prototype. don't even remember where and when did I get those. I'm starting to log them all into one excel sheet to see just how much of a hoarding problem do I have.#17

well, the 8MB V1 is MIA, not in any of my regular hw boxes. hopefully it simply ended at some nonstandard place when I moved house, but digging through EVERYTHING is not happening any time soon, so I'll probably just pop in a regular V2 for now.#18
also, as far as HDD alternatives are concerned, it's either the SD card with ide bus master enabled, or a regular SSD with ide bus master disabled. would need tests, but no time for that, so it's the SD card for now as I'm already set up completely there.
and managed to put most, if not all 3d cards into an excel sheet, the current count is sitting at comfortable 140 pieces (pretty sure a few more cards are still floating around, but no more than 10 I'd guess), the highlights being a Voodoo5 6000, full boxed Obsidian X-24, boxed Obsidian S-12 AGPtv, and a Heavy Metal Mercury (basically 8 Voodoo2s on four pcbs linked together, 96MB ram total).
not AT ALL obsessed by gpu hardware.
