IMO, asking what is the Most stable and compatible win9x configuration, is kind of like going to a car collectors forum and asking "What is the best motor oil."

Honestly, I would have preferred if id Software kept going on the route they took for Doom 3. I liked Doom 2016, but Eternal didn't do it for me at all. I don't understand what's the necessity of limiting most combat to "arenas" with endless waves of enemies popping up, and all of this "combat loop …

Uhm but he said that the card(s) died after few weeks of usage, how this can be due to ESD? I mean, unless he touched them while electrostatically charged when they were running, but I guess he didn't Well not related, but I had a usb port die a few months after I plugged in a thumb drive. There …

Went through another Dark Forces mission. I'm currently at mission 9: Nar Shaddaa. This game has been so far really funny, however I had to patch it to support mouselook, since I can't play with keyboard only anymore. I started playing a few months ago and got frustrated with the (seemingly) …

Yes, they identify it by certain pattern on banknotes. Only main ones though, like dollar and euro. Nobody cares about currency from some african republic. Just out of curiosity, I tried making a copy of a $20 bill with my All-in-one, (HP Envy 4520) and it did make a copy. But it is out of black …

My problem is that I have a lot of free games on Steam and Epic store, but with my internet I will most likely die of old age before I get them downloaded.

Mine was with a system I built with an Asrock K7VT6. Sometimes it was fine other times it would blue screen before windows was loaded. Long story short, the memory I was using was not on the QVL and I had the bios memory timings set to auto. Every time it was powered on, it would set random timings …
