As far as I remember from the Dark Forces setup program it only uses a maximum of 8MB RAM anyway, and I've never seen any benefit to giving Doom more than that either so you should be good as far as memory goes for those two games. The only DOS game I play that benefits from more than 8MB is …

Just get a socket adaptor or buy a real LCS Also full copper is not the best idea for air coolers. Copper wile able to absorb heat faster it cannot get rid of it as fast as aluminum. The best coolers use both copper and aluminum, but it's colstly to make one that can transfer the heat from the …

Split from a system specs thread. By the way what kind of tim are you using? Arctic Silver 5 It seems that a lot of people like AS5. If you ever want lower temps you could try mx-4 or if you really want lower tmeps you could use that coollaboratory stuff. I would still give swaping the fans around …

I call shenanigans, the H80 has not even been around for 7 years. They came out July of 2011. I may be getting the model number wrong... It may be an H60 or whatever. But it is a Corsair Hydro series. I'll take a picture if you like. It's all really besides the point. I'm betting it's a h50 if you …

I am surprised nVIdia has a Windows 95 driver for the FX series. AMD doesn't even have a Windows 95 driver for the Rage on their site anymore. Funny thing is that nvida has their driver listing messed up, They don't show you the latest driver for older OS's sometimes, but they are aleast nice …
