Re: Use Win95 instead of DOS

Posted on 2022-01-04, 18:16

ok, now the question? why choose 98 instead of 95c? There is no usb-isa card... Win95 RTM or Win 95 OSR2 without IE will be nicer on this rig. Win 98 and later will choke it, because IE4 and later will eat all your free RAM. Trust me, 32MB of RAM with Win9x+IE will be terrible. See here for how to …

Sadly not all CD- / DVD-drives are made equal. My benchmark is an old, fairly banged up CD that has the game music as regular audio tracks. I've noticed a particular track will skip or elicit other weirdness when a weaker CD-drive is used. A better quality drive will play the audio without issues. …

Early to late 90's. What an amazing stretch in all possible metrics. After that, suddenly, you had to have a matching version of DirectX and video card, and all the hardware became cheap black plastic with neon lights in it, and your regular office chair is now called a gaming chair for some reason …

Everyone I knew who played strategy games played Civ. We played Conquest of The New World. It was quite a fun turn-based strategy game that even had a hot-seat option (playing multiplayer on the same computer). Wasted hours years on this.

Re: best driver for tnt2 / k6-2 build

Posted on 2021-11-28, 20:31

Hi, I currently have my K6-2 machine with a savage 3d agp, it runs unreal tournament fine but I have noticed that it has some bugs and problems with other games like the quake series (probably a driver/chipset issue). So, I'm thinking of replacing the savage 3d with a tnt2 that i have lying around. …

Decided to test an MX4000 in this PC now that it's got a screen with VGA input (no DVI on this card). 3dmark 99 - 1881, 4931 cpumarks 3dmark 2k - 1508, 107 cpu 3dmarks (first run after installing this card got 1809, 119 cpu 3dmarks for some reason) Dang. Is that Radeon a 32bit memory version or …

Onto the 64meg benchmarks: 64MB with motherboard Cache On: ... 3dmark 2k - 805 3dmarks, 41 cpumarks Your scores seem to be on the low side, although I can only compare the 3DMark2000 one. My similar system at 450MHz gets some ~1550 points currently, give or take. Are you running the benchmark in 32 …

Nobody would be foolish enough to connect a PC directly to their cable modem without using a router. Or a least even Windows XP's "built-in" firewall. It was quite common actually back in the early days. People know better now, but in many cases you only had a modem and no router… and the XP …

Didn't the uncanny valley valley wallpaper and toy-color scheme turn any of you guys off? I seriously thought Ballmer and Gates were trolling us there. :D Yes, and the sorry state XP RTM was in. So much bugs and errors. I'm glad Windows 7 and 10 were so much better . I honestly cannot tell if …
