I have tried a couple of different sound cards. Both PCI and ISA cards. I stubled across this video and decided to try the awe card. And the AWE card is the fastest so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC01uiyuJxI&t=1235s Go to 7:33 and see the scores in quake 3. I have also tried alot of …

Do you have a PCI sound card you could try? If I remember correctly from back in the day, ISA sound cards can kill performance compared to PCI sound cards. A Sound Blaster Live! / Audigy / Audigy 2 would be good choices for games in Windows. An Aureal Vortex 2 would also probably be fine. I really …

Ok. I do have an Audigy 2 ZS.. I don't have a GeForce 256 DDR though. One of the cards that keeps evading me. Not sure if I have a PCI Gb nic or not. All my regular P5A boards are dead... So P5A-B it is. I could also test with an MVP3 based board as well.

WARNING! WD40 is and never will is NOT a lubricant ever. It was intended use was protecting the metal from corrosion, which I researched long ago. I tried some on something long ago and it thickened up to waxy mess and does not have lubricant qualities even for heavy loads, and really messy. You'll …

I only use Liquid Wrench and WD40 to soak torqued rusty bolts overnight, in preparation for removal. I've heard of this fluid film stuff from a mechanic friend of mine. I've always wanted to find some and now I know the name. This the stuff? https://www.homehardware.ca/en/333g-fluid-film-multi- …

Yes, The CPU fan was Frozen stopped so that is why I used a shot of WD40. But I have since replaced the fan.

AMD K5 vs Cyrix 6x86MX in Quake

In trying to gauge the performance of a K5-PR166 vs a 6x86MX-PR233 in Quake I turned to Thandor.net's benchmarks. According to Thandor.net a K5-PR166 on a 430VX motherboard scores 24.4 fps vs a 6x86MX-PR233 scoring 29.5 fps on an Aladdin V motherboard (+20,9%). The motherboard apparently plays a …

Thank you that explains everything perfectly; I would probably get around 15% more fps in Quake, and it would probably also have a much better ALU performance otherwise as well.. It's probably not worth paying money to get a 6x86MX CPU then. My K5 drops down to around a 386DX40 w/ cache levels of …

I would use oil as a temporary solution to revive a CPU fan. If it has gone bad it’s time to replace. Maybe a noisily fan is good because it is notifying you to replace it. Where a silent bad working fan does not notify you to replace it. Especially on a CPU that requires a fan or is over clocked. I …

That particular board should do 60mhz, Many 5x86’s will do 180 with less effort than 200
