OK then. Blood in 1600x1200 kinda needs a high clocked Northwood (and fastvid and nolfb with a VGA that offers decent performance under the circumstances). I tried it on a Tualatin P3S at 1.5GHz and a similarly clocked Palomino Athlon XP, neither could really cut it. A P4-3.06 with DDR333 in an …

F2bnp wrote: Doom95 can also run at 640x400 and 640x480 AFAIR, so there's that. do You know if the resources are adequately bigger in order to make good use of that? or is it just more pixels to calculate?

i believe graphics are identical, there might be more levels but im not certain; one of the newer doom versions had inferior sound support, but i cant say if it was this one;

isnt motion comp the hardest part about that? but then again i suppose the compressed data stream alone can be too much for a 486 (or so i imagine) what are the other steps that are missing here?

is there any valid comparison that would show how netware outperforms the other solutions? or what is meant by "much more lightweight than their competitors"?

netware had an outstandingly fast filesystem iirc; but i cant really comment on software quality on client side; server was rock solid though; if you think of bare metal - this needs a lot of memory;

i guess your first proposal was best - dx4.100 vx 5x86.160 for example; im not sure about cyrix - i believe areound 133 mhz they reach 5x86.160 performance; but then again a 100 mhz chip could be compared directly to the dx4.100 which is nice too 😀

Sounds like there isn't a way to measure frame rate in the Screamers, so no real way to add results to this thread. bumma If the Voodoo2 turns out to be slower at the same clock as the Voodoo1, that would be interesting, though I doubt the Voodoo1 can be clocked up to Voodoo2 speeds. I'll try to …
