I'm desperate to get Paris up and running again. It was working great until
I got a new 20" widescreen LCD about 6 months ago...
The new display meant a new graphics card that could drive the native resolution
(1680x1050)... sounds simple.
First some background, my machine is a PIII-600E, 512MB RAM, Asus motherboard,
etc. Old beast really but more than adequate for my Paris needs (2 x EDS1000)
cause I primarily use the Paris DSP and not many plugs. Win98SE.
Problem: find an AGP card with Win98 drivers that can do 1680x1050. I bought
some Asus card with GeForce but it's HIGHLY unstable. Machine freezes (fresh
install of 98).
I could move to XP I guess, but them I'm up for more money than what the
machine is worth!
Or, I'd consider a whole new machine. But i'm so out of touch with paris
compatibility etc, and not even sure if there's still any manufacturers making
PC's with the right PCI voltages for the EDS cards? If there was a cheap
Dell I'd probably jump in, and give my PARIS a boost of a long life yet.
Other than PARIS, I've been using a MacBook running Ableton Live. Nice workflow
for fun projects.
So, am I dreaming or ? Worst case I could put my old graphics card back (a
G400) and run non-native resolution to the LCD :(
