did I just see a K6 climb out of someone's window with a look of fear on it? 😜

Heres an old guide for getting UT2003 running on a Geforce 1\2 + lower end cpu. http://www.beyondunreal.com/articles/ut2003-p … mance-tweaking/ There is a software render plugin for 2003 and 2004 comes with it.

Unreal Engine 2 does a lot of processing on the GPU if you have at least DirectX 7 hardware. It uses T&L heavily, or D3D8 vertex shaders if you have them. But a Voodoo5 is definitely not ideal. Plug a Geforce3 or Radeon 8500 in and UT2003/4 might run about as well as UE1 games on that K6. That's …

I played UT 2003 on a GeForce 3 + 850 MHz system back in the day, it ran acceptably at 800x600 if I remember correctly.

A little note - UT2003 is far more strict regarding system requirements and will really demand for minimum DX7 hardware (other UE2 games that early should give similar complaints). UT2004 is more lax and should even start on a Voodoo3 (p2 300 behind that one) The only big capabilities you'll be …

I guess you could squeeze a little more performance with a K6-2+/3+ and by running at 640x480.

Well UT2004 runs even with Voodoo2 using MesaFX OpenGL. However it is a mere technical demo, like Quake on a 386 system. I would rate it playable starting with a Geforce2 Pro with 64 MB (32 MB gives stuttering) and a sufficient fast CPU like Athlon XP 2400+.

I guess today machines performance spoil us a bit. Yeah, it's nice to have everything maxed out but I agree - I used to play UT2004 on a 900mhz P3 with a GF Ti4. Probably had to turn off some eyecandy and reduce the resolution a bit, but my monitor was probably only 1280x960 max at the time [maybe …

For the user who posted the photos of the Chaintech 486SPM, did you solder on the PS/2 DIN connector yourself? Do PS/2 mice function on this motherboard? Also, did you solder on the coin cell battery without removing the charging lead? I'll reattach your photo below. It no longer seems to be …

That helped some, but not completely. Does anyone have a high resolution top-down image of this motherboard so I can see where all their jumpers are, that is, for a known working motherboard. When I got this board, the jumpers had been scrambled every which way and nothing made sense. While I …

Can you create a boot floppy and then try the Tomb Raider 3dfx demo? Or restart into MS-DOS mode. If the card fails here then you are dealing with something more substantial than a driver issue.

Update: Disconnecting the IBM hard drive and running the CF card by itself did seem to help a little. Jetfighter 3 now runs (repeatably) for about 30 seconds before freezing. So right now I'm installing Win98SE on the IBM drive and the CF card and adapter have been removed. I have the Tomb Raider …

Tried a few different combos of the two cards in the 3 PCI slots. I even tried swapping out the S3 for a trusty ATI Mach64. None of that made any difference. Out of desperation, I tried disabling both the internal and external cache in the BIOS and, to my amazement, the Tomb Raider demo worked! I re …

That is quite strange indeed. The game runs on very fast Pentium II or Pentium III machines so I don't think there is a speed issue or something like that. But are there any PCI related settings in the BIOS? Options to do with delaying transactions and things like that? Because without Cache things …
