Pentium 2 ressurection

MadClown · May 13, 2009, 11:34 PM

Well, I've been felling alot more nostalgic recently and i need to fix that. I recently purchased 2 older games, Wargames and Monster Truck Madness 2, both of which i owned before but lost in a move. And i vividly remember my old pentium 2 raping these games, so im gonna rebuild it. I'll get more details up later when i get the remains of the rig down from the loft.

Specs so far:
Pentium 2 300 mhz mmx
256 MB of ram
Voodoo Rush(Voodoo 2 is on the way)
20.4 gig Quantum fireball HDD
Super P6SLE Mobo
Windows 98 SE
Sound Blaster 16 CT2230(yes its ISA)

edit 5/13/09: As far as the video cards go, i used to have an 8 MB ATI All in Wonder for 2d and a 12 MB Voodoo 2 for 3d, and apparently my dad gave them to a friend when we didnt need them, i wonder if he still has them, if he does then im in business, if not, ill have to go part hunting. All i really need is the video cards, sound card and a network card, and a windows 98 cd which is also in the loft.

Edit 10/04/09: Screw the voodoo 2, and the sound card, and the network card, im getting this bad boy running, pics posted. Installing Windows as we speak.

Only Problem is that the power button doesn't really work, reset works fine.

Edit 2/20/2010: Still looking for a decent 3dfx card, the voodoo rush blows ass, Currently watching an auction on a Voodoo 5 5500 on ebay, ends in a week, I'll bid then.

a_ump · May 13, 2009, 11:47 PM

haha nice, i always wanted to see an old Voodoo card in action. love to see some pics. My school has quite a few voodoo cards as well as some weird ass tiny ram that i wanna say is RD? could be wrong but yea the old stuff seems so much bigger than stuff today, like mobo's, GPU Cards.

Kursah · May 13, 2009, 11:57 PM

I wonder if you'll need EDO or SDRam for that Pentium II build, I don't quite recall, but I think by that piont SDram was all the rage. Been a long time since I even thought about the old school hardware haha, lookin forward to your progress on that build!

ASRockIQ · May 14, 2009, 12:11 AM

if you need old hardware go to THIS site

Actually, the mobo is not as wide and a little shorter

thanks, ill keep that in mind, but im not totally restructuring the thing, im just trying to recreate the best gaming rig ive ever used, other than the one im using now.

i want to see voodoo 2 SLI. DO IT.

qwerty_lesh · May 14, 2009, 02:18 AM

Couldnt you just disable some of your cores in your current system and install win98 on a CF or something?

mrhuggles · May 14, 2009, 02:41 AM

wow thats great, i have been doing something similar with a pentium 3 except mine is stuck with no ISA so its compatibility is going to suck,

my dream oldschool box is a 486 DX2 66mhz

A strange game.....the only way to win is....not to play.

I love that flick.

Jeffredo · May 14, 2009, 02:47 AM

Good luck. Nothing beats Glide for some old games. I only play Diablo II on my Win 98, Voodoo5 5500 PCI rig.

it was such epic fail when they released that... but thats what got the ball rolling essentially.

I had a single Voodoo2 back in the day.... I think that it was in my Pentium Pro w/ mmx machine.

On a side note the firewall in my office is a dual Pentium 2 machine

its been running 24/7 for like.... 10+ years....

MadClown · Oct 4, 2009, 03:33 PM

Bump from the dead, finally got around to doing it, check out the pics!

LittleLizard · Oct 4, 2009, 03:50 PM

holy fuck, that voodoo is as long as an atx motherboard :O

MadClown · Oct 4, 2009, 04:35 PM

Yeah, its one long sucker.

Black Panther · Oct 4, 2009, 05:02 PM

Hey .... "It's ALIIIVEEE!!!"

If you need anything send me a pm. I got plenty of PII stuff. Heck I got two pentium 2's working... play prince of persia I and II and jill of the jungle on 'em...

Here's the specs of my favourite p2

Processor: Celeron 333Mhz Mendocino
Ram: 128MB DDR SDRAM PC100
Graphics: Nvidia Vanta 16MB (AGP)
Motherboard: Soltek SL-62C
Sound Card: Aztech AZT 2320 (ISA)
HDD: Samsung 5400rpm 6GB.

MadClown · Oct 4, 2009, 07:21 PM

^Thanks for the offer.

here are some pics of the system up and running

Incoming:

So far I tried the Carmageddon 2 demo, Incoming, and Need For Speed III, they all run fairly slow(carma being the slowest), due to the fact my card only has like 6MB of ram, mabey i might throw in my SiS MadDog in there and get a glide wrapper to work until i can find some better voodoo cards. Im prolly done for today, I'll work on it later this week.

Kursah · Oct 4, 2009, 07:24 PM

Holy cow I forgot about Incoming, man I had tons of fun with that back in the day. You'll have to load up some Quake and Quake II for sure! There was another tank game I played back in the day on my PII w/MMX, SDR, Voodoo banshee PCI setup...it wasn't Tanarus, though that was a fun online game for it's day. Keep us posted!

lemonadesoda · Oct 4, 2009, 07:26 PM

We have replaced all our "nostalgic" Pentium 3's with Atom 330 systems on ION. Much faster, much lower power, silent, pay for themselves quite quickly. If you dont need performance, the Atom's are quite good. (Good for anything Office and internet, just not gaming or video editting/encoding).

Frick · Oct 4, 2009, 07:29 PM

Ohh.. Quantum Fireball's.. Pure love.

LittleLizard · Oct 4, 2009, 07:43 PM

NFS III. One of the few games that came to Uruguay and that i have retail with the box and the disc. Oh, what a game
