Hi, is there some driver update for Windows 98 that makes the gpu performance better with old games? Like, doom performance is half good, but, the game is slower if running the -timedemo command instead of just playing the normal way... Also, is there some performance tweak for the Cyrix MegiaGXM? I …

So, I decided to go to the infrared way, I did a "bit ugly" but function serial infrared, too bad it's not working at 107Kb/s (I belive something is wrong because only the desktop is suffering from a disconnect thing)... Anyway, transfering the Windows 98a update and the generic usb drivers, just …

hmm it could be... when I finally build my infrared cable, I'll transfer setmul into this netbook and check if the other option for slowing down the cpu by half is changing the cpu multiplier or not (or I could make some asm program for detecting the multiplier and the bus frequency, since there's …

my notebook can change teh clock speed from 200MHz to 175MHz, also overe Windows there's a tool that can low the performance to 50% (idk if it's downclocking the processor or doing another trick) I really need something for testing this netbook D: (is there some native Windows 98 tool for checking …

The thing is, there's no ethernet/dial up, the only way to transfer data is by: -Swap the hdd and buy some usb adaptor and tranfer the data directly -Get some pcmcia that doesn't require Windows 98 drivers for working. -Find a infrared tranfer cable

The only draw situation is, there's no driver for storage usb :lol: (I tried to plug everything since a 1Tb hdd to 256MB mp3 player). I belive I'll need to tranfer the data by infrared... (at least the usb driver) So, since I have a LG G3, is there a way to use the infrared with some app for …

This is a curious hardware, the state of the notebook was that it was never used (it came with the original box and everything). Hardware Resume: -6,7" TFT screen (800x600 but I belive it can do 1024x768) -3,2GB of HDD (that sounds like a 80s HDD) -CPU: Cyrix Megia GXm 200MHz with MMX (That can be …

I was thinking that it could play half life 1, but I think I'm too confident 🤣 , so here's a more lite question. Can it run quake 2 in 320x240 with playable fps? (with playable, it could be something like a Pentium 133 gameplay) And, the processor can be overclocked/underclocked by software?

I wish there were somewhere someone that recoreded the fm quality to compare with a real opl3 source. Hmm, no 3D,well, so it looks like it's just like the libretto 110.

Hey guys, I just found this weird netbook from 1999, and it looks like it's still in the box (never opened). The model is the MPC-101M33F, it has 32MB of ram, 2,9GB od HDD, 6,7" TFT screen, a touchpad (I belive it's better than the libretto solution),one PCMCIA and one usb slot. The processor is a …
