And now I can finally play Unreal with 15 fps on a Pentium 2 with Voodoo3 😀

You should be getting higher framerates than that. How fast is your PII? The testing here was done with a Celeron running at 450mhz.

On the timedemo I get: highest 75, lowest 15, average 38 FPS with a 350MHz P2 and V3 2000 AGP with vsync enabled.

Changing the graphics options doesn't make any difference so I think the CPU is the bottleneck. I remember my Celeron 500 with Voodoo Banshee was a lot faster 😀

CPU is the bottleneck. Unreal performs the same on a PII 300mhz with a V2 or a V3- the game lags just a tiny bit but is still playable. Something more like 500Mhz seems to be the sweet spot.

What are some wireless networking options for NT4?
I don't believe my belkin cardbus wifi adapter will ever work, but what would?

I suppose there is using a router as a bridge and duct taping it to the back of the LCD.
I haven't tried it in a while but Quake 1 worked horribly, I mean, I know it's only a Rage Pro but this was awful.

Other than that, it works pretty well.
Can anyone recommend a good browser that is somewhat secure for NT4?

Unless I just use VNC...
