Gigabyte GA-8SIMLP with Willamette P4 @1.7ghz

ASUS A7V8X-MX SE with Barton XP 2600+ (stock clock speed probably).

I thought the 2100+ was, too? It's been a while! Maybe they locked them later on?

I think I'm finally there! Much to the younger me's amazement, Windows ME was my saviour. Everything including the wheel is working as it should.

It feels like I've installed windows 98 about 100 times in the last few days. It's all happy until I try to get the Logitech Momo Racing wheel working properly. The Logitech software/drivers requires DX8 or above, and I think this may be the issue. No problems anywhere with DX7. I know that GP3 …

Gameplay/physics on GP2 are very similar to GP3 (same can be said about GP4). At the time people didn't give GP3 the credit that it deserved because as an actual physics/driving simulation, GP2 was already brilliant. GP3 simply didn't add enough in regards to 'prettiness'. By the time GP4 came out, …

Much better! Now to find a case to replace the one I've built this in to. This one is RUBBISH! http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/poeee/98001_zpsz0av0dbg.jpg More importantly, lets have some fun with it! Here is my 9yo son playing Worms 2 and The Incredible Machine 3 (I think I remember it as …

I am totally amazed that it worked at all, but I just put a Nvidia Quadro NVS280 Pci in my 486. Similar to GF4 MX440 I think, NV34GL Gpu. It even came with the dual head vga splitter cable. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/111975408530?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=107&chn= …

Ohhh, the memories! Trying to play GP4 with a Celeron 1.7 / 256MB RAM / Intel HD Graphics (then a FX5200). Painfull process! My old Celeron 850 / 128mb RAM / TNT2 M64 didn't like GP4 either! It was soon after GP4 was released that I built my favorite computer ever. Athlon XP 2100+ Thoroughbred B ( …

I've got a Dual PIII Dell Server sitting here gathering dust. There is no AGP slot, so what options do I have for a PCI graphics card from ~ year 2000?

The $2 8I865GME and P4 3ghz I was trying. At this stage I thought I was on to a winner. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv313/poeee/8b682c3d-8198-40e6-88f3-a327f4ae9944_zps0jdjw0ln.jpg The mess that was the K8NS and A64 2800+ after the 8I865GME didn't do what I wanted. http://i695.photobucket.com …

This project has been going on for too long! Time to get serious! I found myself spending a few nights playing with stuff, to have it not perform as I want and then pack it up for months. Goal: to play Grand Prix 3. GP3 was a massive part of my mid-to-late teens. I was heavily involved in both the …
