Was troubleshooting my win98 system as it was showing signs of lagging in some games. Before blaming the voodoo 3
as the culprit tried out a number of cpu's to rule out that variable. Out of curiosity snapped in the PIII 850 and it shows
up at boot as 700mhz. which surprised me, thought the max. for this board was a 450 PIII. Some benchmarking with 850
PIII yielded the following:
3Dmark2000 - 3100
Unreal - 66fps
GLQuake - 111fps
Forsaken - 78fps
All were done with 800 x 600 16bit. Based on some of Phil's videos my system is definitely slow so maybe next step is
swapping out video cards. Before all this I was having trouble running the plane game Fighter Squadron SDOE with it
"black screen" crashing several times under 3dfx mode. Think I may reinstall windows and see if that improves things
before changing the cards. What do you all think? Is the performance on par?
