    Well folks, here it is. Make your dream retro computer without the worry of a massive corporation suing you for software nobody has used for over 30 years https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/microsoft-open-sources-gw-basic/ https://github.com/microsoft/GW-BASIC

    Yeah I could never get DOOM to have sound minus the sfx from the internal speaker...I gues if you don't have Sound blaster, then oh well, there just needs to be a hardware emulation software like in DosBox to fool the games into thinking the hardware(SB13) is there....That would be nice...All in Fdos of course.

    How's the sound? I could never get it to work. Is it through DosBox or running natively as an OS?

    Can I build a msDOS or FreeDos rig that can run the software natively, such as sound, with newly manufactured parts that are still in production today? Also not to be rude and just for safety, I didn't ask for an opinion, so don't give it.

    What is The most powerful CPU to date. Is it one of the xenon's? I'm not looking for something that is"gameing" just most powerful overall.

    okay so I have this old z80 based computer and the clock rate is 7.3 megahertz. I'm trying I'm trying to see if information is being sent and received on the data bus. people have told me to get a logic analyzer but I don't want one of those I'm thinking about getting an oscilloscope because it has much more possibilities than one of those. I found an old analog oscilloscope that's a nice shape and it's fully functional. probably from the late sixties to early seventies with a maximum bandwidth of 15 megahertz which is over the range of the clock rate so it should be readable. would this be a good choice for me to see if information is being sent and received? I'm assuming I would see a square tooth wave in variation? (Aka binary)

    One last question, more cores? Or higher clock speed?
  8. Kipper Klank
    True... Do u recommend any Xeons that are an upgrade from 2 e5606 on an LGA 1366. I'm thinking about upgrading. Budget of $90. Can push $100.
  9. Kipper Klank
    No reason in particular. Just mere curiosity.
  10. Kipper Klank
    Aww. Oh well.

    I have a workstation has 2 sockets for Xeons... But can u do the same with a pair of I7s? My sockets are compatable, but can I dual weild the nasties?
  12. Kipper Klank

    Damn my icons off center..... I guess we're just going to have to deal with it.

    Thanks

    Oh yeah. the case is massive I can fit whatever I want in there...;) Also a follow-up question, why would I even need 2 graphics cards if they can't run in SLI or whatever Nvidia's is version is. The only thing I can think of is adding more monitors than necessary.....

    So I bought this is old workstation off of eBay for about $200.(HP Z600) The specs are, 24gb ddr3 ecc ram, two xeon e5606 @ 2.13ghz at 4 cores each, and two old quadro600 graphics cards with a gig of VRAM each. Windows 10 On a 10k rpm SATA 500gb HDD. It's nice for medium grade gameing CS:GO, Skyrim, Mass effect 3, Minecraft (heavily modded). But there has to be something else that it can do? Or maby I just have lack of creativity.........
