Exotic hardware tips needed

[Ivan]

OK got two questions

1: what is better, a 'chinese blue monday' S3 Virge DX (i think its a 4MB one) or a DELL OEM 4MB Matrox Milennium 1

2: What year SB16 PCI version has the 8 pin connectors for a 'Goldfinch' AWE32 upgrade board (Creative CT1920, ISA card). It came from a Dell pc that had SB Vibra as main chip. Most usefull will be a list of 'CT' codes.

Not really exotic hardware, just hardware from the good old days.

The Matrox Millenium has much better 3D performance. Apparently the Virge was one of the first 3D accelerators, so 3D performance was really buggy.

I don't know about the 2D performance. I had a derivative of the Virge, an S3 Trio, and it was a great 2D card. Although I'm sure Matrox cards of the day were great too.

For question #2 I got no idea. I would ask on the Creative forum.
