Just some pics of my Gateway E4200, rehomed in a Fractal Design Pop Silent. Specs are not remotely interesting - PIII-450MHz with 128MB RAM, Ensoniq Audio PCI, Voodoo 3 2000, and a USB 2 card connected to the case's top USB ports. I was considering adding some black cow-pattern decals to the case, …

I just tested Need for Speed II Special Edition in Glide mode. This game originally only used software rendering, while Glide support was added in the Special Edition release. The Glide version has several extra effects when compared to software rendering, including the use of table fog: All …

Did you try moslo ? lol Looks like a neat little cube, did it get you worried whether everything would fit? No, I checked dimensions before buying; plus, this is this is the second time buying the case, so I had an idea of what I can stuff inside. The bigger issues were concerning this teeny, tiny, …

Man the Apple hate is kind of fun these days. Have I been so lucky as to have had no ssd wear issues, a cracked screen or hinge problems after having an Air M1 with 2 years of non stop use?

My kids are around age 25-30, nowadays they either have old consoles or mostly emulators for various Nintedo/Sony/Dreamcast.

We are in the process of a big clear-out before moving internationally. Coming back to AU? I did a big clear out recently because we moved interstate - probs 90% of my collection sold off / given away. It felt great to clear out all of that stuff and no regrets with my decisions... yet. All the …

Hey, Gmlb. Seems like I spoke too soon. I managed to install your hacked OVL driver and gave the game another go. I dialed the FSB down to 100 and 133 and the game works a treat. My specs are the ones on my second cpu-z verification sig. I have yet to see a fatal crash with this driver. It will also …
