3dfx Blood runs in 512x384 only. Ahh, I think that's where my confusion comes in - I didn't realize that the 3DFX version runs in 512x384 *only*. I will try adding "set BUILD_640x480=1" to the Blood.cfg and see where we are. Through nGlide, I did select "by app" as I've read that it's a setting …

I'm just trying out nGlide with a couple of build engine games for the first time. I know 3DFX/Glide support for these games is really crappy, but on real hardware the games both look much better. Through nGlide and DOSBOX, however, the games REALLY look terrible.. I've set the confs to the …

That's some seriously drool-worthy 3dfx gear there Artex! What makes the Voodoo4 so rare? The fact that it's specifically for Mac? These came out right before the demise of 3DFX... For this reason, not a whole lot were sold in comparison to the earlier cards and because these were basically …

Continuing the 3DFX trend... and a few other goodies..

Shesh...now I look at some in my collection and think I need to get them whitened up. They're almost the color of someone's urine who is very dehydrated! :dead: Yeah, that's what you'd expect from old computers. I have one case that is practically brown now on the exposed parts, while the non- …

Small update today.. I forgot about a boxed MSI Ti4600 8X I had tucked away, and this card is stable (and fast) as hell! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/912/lBV8C5.png http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/661/5R3WeP.jpg And a couple of screenshots showing that "NOA" BIOS that …

Those i740 PCI cards are interesting. I managed to find two of those with 24mb. Keep in mind, your BIOS or operating system may report them as 16mb because there are two separate blocks of memory. 8megs for framebuffer + 16mb for texture storage and it's the texture memory that gets reported. There …

So... I've been on a 3DFX kick lately and have picked up some nice stuff - primarily sealed/NOS. Thanks to Vetz, I found an extremely rare Voodoo4 4500 PCI MAC in Japan that is still on its way, as well as another sealed Voodoo2 1000 12MB PCI card and a Voodoo3 2000 16MB AGP, also sealed. I'll post …

Oh no, I'm not using it. I've got an Intel board (D875PBZ) running a Northwood 3.0 at 3120MHz and I'm mighty happy with it. Later Pentium 4 doesn't interest me that much, if you're going socket 775, might as well go Core 2 Duo ;). This is merely for displaying it on my shelves. It is a piece of …

Gorilla Glue is an amazing product. Just be sure that you are very precise with the application, DO NOT get it on you, and have how it is going to be glued together mocked up before hand. +1 - have used it many times. But yeah, do not get it on your skin or you will need skin grafts. Thanks for the …
