So I really want to play Motorhead again, and after trying to find my disc for a solid 5 minutes, I remembered that it wouldn't matter anyways since said disc was cracked. So I guess this is my last-ditch effort to try and get a working image of it before I find a PS1 image, even though its nowwhere …

Huh, had no idea that thread existed, but it'll sure come in handy. Thanks a million. 😀

I have plans for building an XP machine on the cheap, and I already have a lot of hardware for the build, but there's still one crucial part I'm missing, as the title would indicate. I'm looking for some kind of 775 motherboard I can pick up off eBay relatively cheaply (as in 40USD or less, …

we'd obviously be looking at Pentium III's (really don't want a mobile Pentium 4). Any chance a Pentium M could suit your needs since that's closer to the Pentium III in terms of processor design? In that case something like a Dell Latitude D600/D800 or an IBM Thinkpad T40-42 should work great …

So right now I have a Compaq ProSignia 165 (PII 400, 128MB RAM, 40GB HDD, and ATI RAGE LT PRO 4MB), and it gets the job done pretty well overall. But, sadly the ~18 year old plastic on it is getting super brittle and cracking more with every passing year. Not to mention that the battery has gone …

Right now I'm looking to revive my old OptiPlex 170L a little bit by throwing a peppy graphics card in it, but I can't seem to find any concrete answers on what the fastest ones are. Only real things I'm looking for is PCI, low profile, ideally VGA + DVI output (HDMI would be nice but I understand a …

NoCD patch - unlikely cause Widescreen fix - maybe, if it messes up the graphics engine in a way that introduces lag; try without it Are you getting good FPS? Does it feel laggy? Did you try with a keyboard? A controller? FPS is a dead-solid 60 that never drops, and with keyboard controls it feels …

So I finally managed to get NFS Carbon working on my daily rig, and got the controls set up, but when I started racing the controls are (at best) terrible. Everything is floaty as all hell (as in the car seems like it's on ice) and nothing seems to fix it. Now I know how this game should behave (as …

I've begun the process of hunting for parts for my old Compaq, and right now I'm stuck on a graphics card. I'm not really sure what I should look for (I've kinda lost my touch with older hardware and knowing what to get), so I'm just hoping I can get some pointers here. My only requirements are …

Gadget: Lost in Time ? Not sure if that had a hot tub... I'll see if I can hit on any other ideas with a few Google searches, will report back if so. That's not it, however it does look like a pretty neat game. Time to scour some abandonware sites to see if it's on one. :P My first thought was one …

As the title would imply, I'm trying to brainstorm the name of an old game I used to play and I can't find the disc that has it ANYWHERE, or even any information after quite a long time scouring Google. I know this may not be enough info (I hope it is though because the last time I played this was …

Which exact board do you have? And pics will help :) There's an informative website here , perhaps it will be of interest to you (it is to me :)). Chances are your board will support faster CPUs witha bit of fiddling around, but first you'll need to figure out which board you intend to be upgrading …

Hey all, I have a Presario 2286 with a Cyrix MII-333 (big shock given my username). It's not a terrible chip, but it does seem to hold me back in some instances (particularly SimCity 3000). I was curious as to what my upgrade path is for it. If I remember right it'll support up to a K6-III 333MHz, …
