i think it's the driver that's causing that issue i think in vogons drivers are some older versions that can be useful from what i remember, later drivers are problematic in windows 9x, 45.23 is a very good one

I miss SLI. I mean, i never partook in it myself with modern GPUs because of how expensive it was. But i always liked the look of 2 beefy cards in a system and performance seemed to scale pretty well if the game developer actually bothered to optimize for it. It was the dream growing up. Now its …

yeah, that's something to take in consideration something neat it has the Soyo 5eh5, it allows to disable agp 2x, running it at 1x speeds, which fixes most if not all incompatibilities with agp boards as the voodoo cards doesn't use any of the agp specific functions, it may have no difference there, …

it may be the power suppy, the v3 was very power hungry at the time, several agp motherboards had problems back then. I imagine the pci version has the same problems. the fx 5500 is a little bit on the hungry side, the hdd issue seems to be related to power the 6326 has opengl support (in the latest …

But on the other hand UT looks better and is faster in OpenGL mode. you shouldn't use opengl renderer in ut as it's in a beta state i have both a motherboard with the mvp4 (and therefore the blade 3d) and a mother with the mvp3 (and a savage 3d) the savage 3d scores pretty much the same as the …

maybe not the best os for gaming on a PPC but you should try sorbet leopard, but you need to follow the guides to install and optimize it correctly, also you should max out ram on that ibook and get a solid state drive to get the most out of it. bear in mind that it's a very old machine, and a …
