Re: K6-2 Blues

Just purchased two of the K6-III CPU's mentioned earlier from the german seller on Ebay. Should be arriving shortly. Now it is complete! Looking forward to getting the machine together and spraying the case in 3dfx colours. I also couldn't resist an authentic K6-III inside case sticker from another …

Yes it is! I found it! Took me about 2 hours though. I can't remember where I got it exactly now because I visited SO many sites. PM me and I will send it to you. I will look into posting it online somewhere that will host it for free, but I don't know where to look. Also I just bought Screamer …

£20 for a V2?? Man, those things aren't very cheap these days. And paying £20 for a dead card? Shame. But did you at the very least get "something" out of it (except for an antistatic bag :P)? Maybe a passthrough cable?? As a matter of fact I couldn't complain at all about the deal I got, despite …

Well, I know it's already basically been said, but Gunman Chronicles = Goldsource Engine = Half-Life, and if you look at old benchmarks of Half-Life running on those TNT2 cards back in the day, they were embarrassingly bad in comparison to Voodoos. I saw a video card comparison in the Google Books …

Bought my first 3Dfx card (Maxi Gamer Voodoo 1 4mb) for £115 back in 1996 when I was 15, after getting dissilusioned with my Matrox Mystique's inability to do bilinear filtering (though the matrox served as a great 2d card and let me carry on playing the best version of Mechwarrior 2 ever made). …

Re: Carmageddon 3dfx very slow frame rates, why?

For some reason the game is demanding. You need a Voodoo3 and a PIII to make it go really smooth natively and this is a game that was supposed to be for Pentium Classics. The beta ran very bad on my AMD PR-100 back in 1996, but the full game was definitely playable in software on my P200 just six …

This really helped me sort my Screamer 2 out FinallY! After installing the game on my WIN98 machine, software mode played fine in 320x240 and 640x480, but the 3DFX patch just would not work. Hanged on a black screen straight away and I had to hard reset. I tried the batch file written above and got …

Try as I might I can't find a K6-2+ or a K6-3 CPU on ebay. I am looking on the UK site. Maybe there might be some on the USA one, but I would like the best CPU this board can take. I think a K6-3 450 or higher would suffice.

I will let you know tomorrow when I take it apart again. I forgot now, and it's up and running and I'm tired of climbing on the desk with a torch to look inside. Watch this space (I'd like to know myself as well!). Van

Been working on this for a long time and now so near to completion but things didn't go entirely as planned. All components in and as quiet as a mouse, the specs are as follows... Beautiful chunky heavy old Midi Tower case with cool layer effect down one side. AMD k6-2 500Mhz Super Socket 7 Mobo …

A Radeon 9800 blows away a TI 4800 (the Geforce 4 TI 4600 with agp 8x bus, and the latest revision chips in the series). Nvidia had some crappy chips for the GF4/GF FX generation. ATI just refreshed the chip with the 9800 XT and kept beating the snot out of the NVidia chips. The 4800 was actually a …

Or you could see if you can't track down some large sheets of brown paper (like the stuff they make bags out of) and hitting it with some fire to singe it. Glue it to the surface and cover it with clear polyurethane. Try that one on a small scale first before you do it to a case though. I have no …
