According to Anand they tested with: Matrox Millennium G200 AGP Video Card (8MB) Canopus Pure3D-2 Voodoo2 (12MB) Agreed that Unreal looks rather GPU-limited here.

Those graphs are from anandtech. He used a TNT. I wonder what driver he used and what settings? From the article, his half life results are really low for a P2. He got 22.3fps on a P2 400 with the TNT. I got 34.72 fps on a P2 450 with a TNT. I even used an old version of half life, old driver (2.08 …

IMO K6-2 is above 233 MMX but bellow Pentium II (even the low clocked ones) even if in some applications it's competitive, in others it's really bad and on average Intel was clearly well ahead.

I'm about to start building my dos machine and I have a K6-3+ 400mhz, and I also have a 166mhz MMX Pentium cpu that came with the s7 board. I will be using this pc for dos games and the occasional glide game on the banshee i'm putting in it. should I stick with the Pentium for compatibility or use …

Whats the gains in the benchmarks? In all my testing the S3Virge is as good as any other video card.

Whats the gains in the benchmarks? In all my testing the S3Virge is as good as any other video card. I'll re-run all the benchmarks tonight with both cards and get you actual numbers. EDIT - I'll be busy tonight so I made some coffee and got to work straight away. My "feeling" at the time of that …

The PCI soundcard finally arrived today! It'll be fun to experiment with tonight after dinner. Supposedly this Yamaha chip has great DOS compatibility.

I really like this computer setup. I wish I had it back in 1995. The Advent Speakers sound awsome with the Media Vision Spectrum Pro Audio PAS16P. It's a nice clean White computer too. Very stable. No problems so far. No crashes. Surfs MSN.com very good. Vogons.org however is slow to load. I am …

Here is my benchmark info here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28470&start=180 I am trying to play MP3’s with Winamp. This computer was a Barn find. The case was not in to bad of shape.

mp3's have many different possible sample rates for playback; the higher the sample rate, the more CPU intensive it is. What sample rate mp3s are you trying to play? I could not locate a Speedsys screenshot in that link. Could you paste it here?

Speedsys looks like this: Filename Cx5x86-133-2x-MB-8433UUD.png File size 12.96 KiB Views 1328 views I'm wanting to see the plot of your cache and RAM.

I had put the cpu back to 133mhz. Because i did not see any benefit at 166mhz. As you can see from speedsys test results my L1 and L2 cache scores are low ? Here is my bios settings too. They are 192 kbps mp3s, 44khz.

Interesting that there isn't a read speed decrease for main memory. I experienced something similar to this on my m918 as well. I'll plug in my Am5x86-160 system to see if it can decode 192 kbps mp3. There is little concern about damaging an Am5x86 at 160 MHz.

I get studdering and skipping in mp3 playback at 133mhz. They are 192 kbps mp3s, 44khz.

I can only find 128 kbps, 160 kbps, 320 kbps, and variable. I don't appear to have any 192 kbps mp3s.

Well, not even the 320 kbps mp3 has skipping in it on my Am5x86-160. I am using Winamp 2.05 with the Nullsoft wave-out 1.0. I have turned the spectrum analyser off and have turned off auto scrolling the song name. Those help cut down on CPU load. The scrolling song name is a bit demanding.
