Closed Tualatin p3 setup: TUSL2-C/p3-1400/512MB/GF4200ti/Live!/nic

[keropi]

I collected this hardware specifically for a tualatin-based retroPC (for win98 games ofcoure ) but now it's not needed since it's spare...

The set consists of:

a.ASUS TUSL2-C motherboard with i815 chipset and 2x256ΜΒ matched 133mhz ram sticks (backplate also available, drivers/bios/manuals available HERE )
b. cpu Pentium III tualatin , 1.4ghz with 512kb cache and 133mhz FSB , with a copper heatsink
c. vga Creative GeForce4200ti 64MB/AGP8x
d. sound card Creative SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 (SB0060)
e. lan card 10/100mbps intel chipset


classic setup and can't really get anything better for a tualatin system IMHO... I also checked the system with memtest , did 2 complete memory cycles (though it was used and fine, just to be extra sure)

Which era of gaming would you recommend it for?

(not including DOS or DOSBoX) I would say this is a deliious system for 98 - 2003 =)

Those years are a bit of a blur for me Which games defined that period? Jedi Knight 2 probably?

Asking because I'm considering whether I need this or not

For me:

Baulders Gate 1 & 2
Blood 2 : The Choosen
Call of Duty 1 & 2
Command & Conquer Series (Red Alert 2 my fav! - I always played Russia!)
Counter Strike
Dark Reign
Dune 2000
Dungeon Keeper 2
Ghost Recon 1 / 2 and 3
Jedi Knight II Outkast
StarCraft
Starwars Force Commander
Quake 3 Arena
Unreal
Unreal Tornament : Tac Ops
Unreal Tornament : Team Fortress
Unreal Tornament
Warcraft : Humans Vs Orks
Warcraft 2
Warcraft 3​

Oh the list goes on and on.... so many great games!


This system is also powerfull enough to emulate the following

PSx
MegaDrive / MCD & 32x
PCE / TG16
Spectrum
C64
Amiga
Atari ST​

As well as quite a few others!

Once can use DOSBox (and DOG) with it under Win98 / XP install or configure a pure DOS partition and then you have a wealth of DOS games!

Thanks

I've decided I don't need it, because it would be overkill for my use. All the best with your sale, my friend

well, I just used it to run win9x games, anything that needed directx/opengl and is buggy or does not run correctly on new systems due to OS or gpu drivers.
Zetr0's examples are great, I can also add the following favorites of mine:
Tomraider 1-4 , Entomorph , Noone Lives Forever
Silver , Incoming , Ultima 9 , Croc , Thief , Dungeon Keeper
Jedi Knight 2 (yep ) , Deathtrap Dungeon , Montezuma's Return
MDK , Lands of Lore 2-3 , Wizards & Warriors, Sin , Diablo 1-2 , Drakan

every win9x basically without having to worry about compatibillity issues, that was the paln
one could even use a voodoo3 or add a voodoo2 in order to have glide stuff too
