Weakblocks is a HDD slow sector detector program.

For example if …

That's not what I saw when I tested with a P233MMX (I know G450 isn't G400, but pretty close): I have tested them in ~30 games, and in most of them, the g200 outperformed it with a few fps which usually translated into exceeding 24 fps with the g200, meanwhile with the g400/g450 the framerate …

Re: DOS anti-virus recommendation

Virus Buster. The only anti-virus program that was able to properly detect dos viruses in its time. I remember triying dozens of antivirus, all of them was crappy, except virus buster. However, it seems it got eradicated from the internet in the past decade, so good luck finding it. Maybe still …

If thats not available, you can try newer consumer cards, but not too much newer than a TNT1 or Rage Pro, as most of these old first gen 3d games will not function properly with newer video cards than their era. You can …
