I recently got a Soyo K7V Dragon Plus, which was (completely) recapped before I got it. The board itself runs fine and stable with load on CPU and videocard, but as soon as a PCI card is plugged in, the system freezes as soon as the driver gets installed / the device is initiated. This happens with …

Yes, of course a V2 SLI cannot compete with a GeForce 256, let alone the DDR Version. Voodoo 2 SLI was extremly powerful a its time, as it essentially offered next-Gen Performance back then and sometimes even reached Voodoo 3 3000 Performance (UT99 for example). But GeForce 256 ist another …

I love this contest! cfg tweaking and building dlls or Q3 clients is alien to me, but I copied some stuff together and can bring some serious hardware from that era 8) I think this is a really cool idea you came up with @necrodude - I only wished that the Geforce 256 DDR was excluded, because its …

Cool, I wasn‘t aware that epox built Pentium 4 boards.. nice! Despite the fact that early pentium 4s (especially with sd-ram!) are slow as hell, this Systems got flair 😎

A bit flashy for my taste but impressive nonetheless! I spotted an onkyo receiver as well, good stuff 😎

@hard1k: That's quite a load 😁 Did you buy the audio stuff "only", or all in the picture (3dfx cards etc.)?

Thank you :) Finally after years of collecting I finally have space (and sometimes time xD ) to actually play all these games :D :D At the moment i play through my Mech Games. Back then I only played MW4 and Mech Commander 1 + 2. I'm through MW2 with all Expansions and I recently finished MW3 - next …

Here's my Retro-PC realm :D Hope you like it - creating this kind of room was only possible since I have a own house now since last year :) Pics are few weeks old, the moment it looks a bit more "used"..

Ok that should be sufficient on the CPU side ;) I think in a comparison between G100 und Permedia the G100 will lose drastically. If I recall correctly all the 3D Features are crippled, even a Mystique is more "advanced". But nonetheless I'm looking forward to this test, it's been ages that I messed …

Cool, thanks for that video. I think I'll have to dig out my permedia II for some gaming 😁 I did't remember that it does that well most of the time. Espescially NFS5 is pretty impressive (although I still prefer to play that on my V5 xD ).

Nice collection you have there! I LOVE these little Librettos, cool stuff :) I have about 20 - 25 old Thinkpads from Pentium M all the way down to 486, I even have a 386 Thinkpad, but the Power Supply is broken :/ I allways wanted to use one or two for DOS gaming, one of them has really awesome …

I think I found a "new" RRedline Game: Die by the Sword (base game as well as the Limb by Limb expansion). It offers me "Rendition" Acceleration and there is a RLVERITE.dll file in the gamedirectoy.

Sadly no luck 🙁 I found 8 different spd3d.uc files but all show the exact same result. Any further ideas are welcome.

Under Windows Dosbox i get a black screen with Scorched Planet. Under DOS I get a corrupted screen as in my picture some posts earlier. I'll try some spd3d.uc files then, perhaps I'm lucky 😀

NR1999 works for me with a QDI Legend 8MB AGP and Hercules 0.85 driver. No special things to do. The spd3d.uc in the gamefolder is from 1996-10-25 and has 56KB size. What is yours like? I attached mine if yours is different.

Thanks a lot!!! IndyCar II works now :) stangely I only have to use monkey1.bat and it starts just fine at first try (under DOS), but I don't mind that :D I tried to adapt the batch file for scorched planet (since it shows the same error), but no luck :/ You don't accidentally have a fix for that …
