Sorry Phil, it wasn't a Youtube video, but a post in the "Retro activity" thread.

I was running Your 'unreleased' new benchmark package last night. After getting Wolfenstein 3d working it all seemed to work fine.
I got 80.3 fps which is a bit below the 85 you got with the WB cpu.

Make sure you let it loop a few times. The benchmark will just run over and over, and will get faster. I take the third result.

Something different. Mostly to see if people find this type of video interesting or not. Very raw 😀

Backstage: How I prepare a Pentium 4 motherboard

It's interesting, especially since most people who are experienced with building retro rigs and finding its parts will know the drill 😀.
I didn't know one could flash a Windows BIOS without actually needing Windows, but I'd only flash if I have a need to do so.

It would make a good video for beginners btw, can't think of any complaints 😜

The BIOS was the DOS version, but they zipped it up as a Windows executable, rather than a DOS one.

The outcome surprised me a little.

Yeah. Another surprising thing is how competitive the AthlonXP stays. Sure it's sometimes back 30ish percent, but the results are still usually in the "playable" range. Thanks for the video!

Thanks.

Yea the XP does hang in there. It's fully decked out though, nForce2 Ultra board, dual channel CL2 memory, all the good stuff 😀

7800 GTX SLI bottleneck removed

Something to distract from the election 😁

How does Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX SLI perform when you use a modern processor and remove any bottleneck? And how does it handle games? Let's find out in this video!

I am using a modern AM3+ motherboard, 4 GB of dual channel DDR3 memory and a Phenom II X2 processor running at 3.5 GHz.

Enjoy this video!

Only one question : WHY would you try to run Crysis on High settings, with only 256MB of VRAM ?
Next time, try going Low/Medium or low-ish resolution 😀

Because it's "But does it run Crysis?". It's meant to be lagging and choking.

And here I thought "the way it's meant to be played" is just a slogan 🤣

It will be years until I get to the point / time of building something that actually runs Crysis 😀

Nothing that "Phil's Time Machine"(TM) can't get around.

Haha, true that 😀

It's really not that far out.
8800 GTX and QX6700 are already 10 years old 😀

True. But I also do videos on DOS and Windows 98, so it all adds up. You just got to be patient. But do express your thoughts, I do take not on everything and one day, BAM, there is your video 😊

Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4 review

I was really looking forward to producing this video! This processor is pretty cool, but not cheap.

Subtitles / Closed Captions are available for this video! I only now got to check out this feature, and whenever I have a written script it's actually quite easy to add. I hope that helps someone out there!

The Extreme Edition 3.4 is the ultimate processor for Socket 478. Does the performance justify the price, how does it perform and should you consider getting this processor for a Windows XP Retro Gaming PC?

Enjoy this video!

Something different! When I heard about the pre-ordered, I jumped on it right away.

Nintendo NES Classic Mini Review

hi, in the last one (cyrix machine) i totally did not get if you ever used any of those speed enhancing programs that helped to properly setup these processors?
