I don't know how much you can trust it, but I downloaded it from here: https://www.patches-scrolls.com/system_shock2.php It's does not update to 2.03 but to 2.23 and that is the …

I'm trying to figure out which mouse I should get for retro gaming with a reasonable price. So which mouse would you recommend? Right now I'm thinking of Logitech optical mouse, but more recommendations would be welcome. Also would you recommend a ball mouse or an optical one, because I heard that …

I had a Willamette 1700 as family pc for years and, although it came with a crappy GF2 MX with 64bit memory bus, I then replaced it for a FX5600XT. Almost all XTs can be overclocked to 5600 levels, as they are basically the same. It let me play most games of that era 'reasonably' well, and now they …

Okay, then the GF3 Ti200 will be plenty. By 'screamed', I meant... perform very well. Look at Anandtech's review - they're getting over 100 FPS in Unreal Tournament at 1024x768 on the GF3s. https://www.anandtech.com/show/831/10 And Quake 3 Arena, same thing, huge FPS at 1024x768 on any of the GF3s. …

Yea, I'm aiming for a windows 98 PC, although all the points you gave are legitimate, would you say a Pentium 4 1.7 Willamette PC with DDR 266 RAM and a geforce3 TI 200 would be sufficient for an above 60 FPS gaming for games from around 2001 and before that, or should I upgrade some of the specs …

I'm currently building a Pentium 4 pc and I bought a be quiet! 650W STRAIGHT POWER 11 PSU and I just discovered its a multi rail PSU instead of a single rail one, will that matter anyway or damage anything? Or will it just work the same as a single rail one?

The thing is that where I live there is barely any low watt PSUs and especially good ones that are locally sold.
