I also had some sound issues on my first unit. I even thought that this is well known Yamaha issue where the volume is too high and should be lowered with a special utility. But after I received two other units I understood that it’s just the speakers are broken and should be replaced. Thanks I have …

Sounds like miracle no idea how you manage to find such stock. If you can share information about the store it would be perfect. Thanks! I’ll try asking them about hinges for Toshiba 5205 😀 p.s. currently playing Homeworld on this beast 😍 Filename A81D93B4-5ED5-4280-8DC0-8B08167E08F6.jpeg File size …

Installed game on machine with ATI x1900 and there are no banding in 32bit. That’s a mystery.

Sorry, you were right. The clock is dynamically changing according to gpu load. I didn’t check it before request here and though that it is stuck low. Honestly, I didn’t expect such old gpu to have variable clock rate.

FYI. According to this site GeForce 2go should have 143mhz, https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce2-go.c1554 but hwinfo report wrong value. Filename B541A0D4-4C6F-4967-BB16-512B4923166F.jpeg File size 385.63 KiB Views 106 views

Guys, I’m on a laptop with GeForce 2, directx 7.1 is installed. For some strange reason game looks worse in 32 bit vs 16. Why?

Solved issue where 3dmark2001se was crashing. Followed advise to install newer driver: 30.82 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/0b7vs4ovqvqsikj/30.82_win9x_2805mod.zip?dl=0) I modified them, PowerMizer works.

I’ve got two laptops with ATI M1 GPU: Compaq N400c and Sony Vaio PictureBook C1. I’ve tried some 3D action games and they all have visual glitches and issues. I’m trying to understand whether they are expected for this GPU or if it can be fixed somehow. https://youtu.be/ewH0_-q9a7g Unreal (DirectX, …

So i've got CD version with voiceover but there are no text + speech option. Any way to enable text without switching to version 2.0 or use of ScummVM.

I’ve tried the same benchmark on my other unit and I got the same score, 1000 less than you have. Maybe you overclocked GPU or used another driver? Or lowered settings?
