The GeForce2 Ti came out roughly 2 years after the Pentium III 1000EB. I think you're already at the point where the GPU is making good use of the 1GHz chip. Our Pentium III 1GHz, at the time, had a Riva TNT2 (which was a value card at the time). We did put in a Geforce FX5500AGP 256MB shortly …

I'd say radeon is faster but would be bottlenecked by a P3 1ghz. I built a 5700 Ultra with a Pent4 3ghz w/HT system back when it was new. Before that it was a 1.2ghz Taulatin with a GF3 Ti200. With the P4 w/HT system even at 800x600 Doom3 was spotty to were it never even played it very long . HL2 …

Hello again. I'm kind of looking for a dx9 agp card that could boost the performance of that pc. I found a couple geforce 6200 128mb and 256mb, an FX 5200 128mb, an FX 5700 256mb, a Radeon 9500 Pro 128mb and a Radeon 9550 256mb. Which one of the above would be the best choice for some 2003-2004 …

So I've restored a retro pc. I have an ECS P6BAP-A+ REV 1.0 motherboard, Pentium III 1000B, 320mb of ram and the Chaintech Geforce2 Ti 32mb version. I've been trying to play Halo Combat Evolved in Windows XP in all resolutions and lowered all graphics but the framerate remains the same, about 18fps …

Someone gave me a Kyro II the other day(Hercules 3d Prophet 4500 TV-out). I'm impressed by the performance boost over the Geforce2-MX400. Max Payne is now playable on medium settings 1024x768 and I get 36fps avg. With the MX400 I only got 20fps...

What agent_x007 proposed. About the Xeon you can also settle for a modded X5460/5470 if you don't care about power consumption. you can find these for $15 and they are practically equal to a QX-9650 or a first gen i5. You would need an aftermarket cooler for these chips (like an Arctic Freezer 7 pro …

Well in US maybe you could find that a bit cheaper, but in greece I searched for about a month to find a perfectly working 1999-2000 spec pc with less than 50euros. I also have another system with a coppermine 800. Will a 1000MHz SL52R Pentium3 be significantly faster than the celeron and the 800mhz …

Hello. Today I bought an old pc for 36 euros ($39). It has a Celeron 900 and a Geforce 2 MX400 64mb AGP on a QDI Advance 10B motherboard and 512mb SDRAM. Seems to work well, except for the cd-rom drive which I replaced. So I found the manual from this motherboard and it says it supports Coppermine …

Forgot to update. The SB live! worked in linux and now is paired with my voodoo 3 2000 in winXP. Works great! Managed to test successfully over 30 games in winXP. On the other hand the CT4810 also worked like a charm in win98 playing over 25 dos and windows glide games along with my voodoo-s3 virge …

It worked on my Windows ME drive. 1024x768 in glide mode! Very smooth also! Probably the game needed older 3dfx drivers.

well that's the problem. When I select glide renderer and try to start the game it crashes. I have lots of other games playing with glide in windows xp; dethkarz,powerslide, mdk2, sin, cyberstrike pod, deus ex etc. I also have a hd with millenium, I'll try there also and report back.

Hi, I try to run Insane in glide mode in win xp. I have a Voodoo 3 2000 and the latest Amigamerlin drivers installed. I have tried all resolutions and nothing seems to work. Installed a patch also, nothing again. Any ideas? Game runs ok in direct3d.
