Which plugin is the best for an Intel 82815 Graphic Controller? Also which is best for a Yamaha AC-XG sound device? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Probable petes d3d pluggin.. But what is your cpu specs? If its a low end cpu then the software gpu pluggins may work better.. As for sound, try the internal spu and try out different ones accordingly..

Here are my specs:
Windows ME
Pentium III 866 MHz
133 MHZ
40 GB Ultra ATA/66 Hard Drive
128 MB SDRAM

Is there anything else you need to know?

 

[Fou-lu]

Yeah, you can try the pete's soft plugin, it will work steady (not very nice, but ok). You can use pete's d3d plugin too, just go to the plugin config and hit the fast button

[Vivi Orunitia]

Thanks for all your help! Actually, my computer's a VAIO, not from gateway. Kind of weird coincidence though

 

[eazye]

wow a vaio a labtop my graphics arent even better than a labtop

 

[Vivi Orunitia]

No, it's a desktop so don't feel too badly I like it a lot. It suits my needs.

Hmm intel 82815,
Just one question to both of you, have you tried using next 3d gpu plugin from nickk ? If yes then you get those weird black boxes problems or not?
Your information will surely help.

Actually there have been a variety of intel motherboards with inbuilt grafix cards.For example I have an intel 810 based chipset(it doesnt have open gl hardware acceleration), the more advanced version of this is 810e version which supposedly had a slightly better grafix card (and had opengl as well as tv out socket in originality).
Then there is 815 version which have been released after the above two and should be better with grafix I guess.

Thanks a lot.This information may prove useful as soon as nickk returns.

Yes,all of them work.But my celly 500 and 64 mb ram doesnt always help with the speeds.Infact corn,suprahle and ultrahle provide very good speeds in full screen mode and higher resolutions,rest ummmmm, u can guess.

 

[eazye]

i cant even get those 3 to work any pointers?

What error messages you get in all these? Actually you will need glide wrappers to make ultra and suprahle to work.Neway if you can tell what problems you are facing I may be able to help.

 

[eazye]

uuum i got evoodoo and suprahle just shuts down every time i try to play a game i wuz thinkin xp compatibilty issues with the 3 maybe
