I am looking for the additional "DLC" / downloadable Levels for the german "comedic" game "TV Total - Pulleralarm". Maybe a german speaking user here has it?

The E5200 at 3.2GHz wouldnt be faster? I am asking because I have it already

Would it make sense to replace the Core 2 Duo E7400 @2.8GHz 3M L2 cache with a Pentium Dual-Core E5200 @2.5GHz 2M L2 cache (12.5 x 200) running at 3.2GHz (12.5 x 256) ?

It feels broken to me. What was wrong with the old design? I often used it on mobile Guess I won't be posting for a while, maybe vogons will become more usable in the future. @spiroyster Google has always been using the same color scheme...

Couldn't you use CT4520 cards as donors? They are neutered AWE64 cards which your work would only improve

@Anthony DOS 3dfx games came with a "driver" for the Voodoo1 (sometimes also rush and voodoo2) that "communicates" with the card directly. For example GTA 1 or the Glide Tomb Raider version. I dont know if you can "manipulate" any variables in these cases. just cheked both games, and either of them …

Please take a look at Phils voodoo2 scaling review: You can see almost double the performance in SLI compared to a single card in 800x600. For example Forsaken: 93FPS single card, 174FPS SLI (Pentium 3 500MHz) When the Voodoo2 was released it was "future proof". No CPU was fast enough to feed the …

As far as i know the first metal gear solid doesnt use accelerated 3D and why wouldnt urban chaos profit from a SLI setup? It is a direct3d game and has a neat configuration tool. You probably can play in a higher resolution compared to a single cardj 3dfx sli is efficient. Each card does "half" of …

its showing the right amount of ram, its just spiting the ram up into two groups, framebuffer and texture. And adding a second card dose not duble you usable VRam. Its still just 12mb as the data in ram is mirrored across the two cards. It is not mirrored. Each card does half of the scanlines on …

I have the ms6168 rev 2 too. Mine was flashed with the Award BIOS which means better CPU support but "no onboard video". Which BIOS do you intend to flash? Try a Pentium 2 / Celeron up to 333MHz. It might not "like" CPUs with FSB100

If you think the rust is bad on the outside is bad, its waaay worse on the inside, so sadly this went to recycling today. P_20190907_155943.jpg Love the case. It looks somewhat like post apocalyptic one. Amazing! A …
