all that work and logistics is very time consuming, once queues zero out expect a long break from new cards - it is much needed! Yeah that new Lamborghini is not gonna buy itself right? :D Congratulations for all you work and the great support, you guys are awesome and hopefully you can soon take a …

Sorry for the bump, since the motherboard supports the voltage down to v1.3, is it possible to use a tualatin without the adapter of the "korean guy" I always hear to talk about but apparently nowhere to be found? I don't think so, as the issue is mainly a pin out issue (FC-PGA2 for Tualatin vs FC- …

Apparently enough people projected their inexperience to bankrupt the company. How easy was it to figure things out without internet, back when everyone didn't have a PhD in Retro?

I tried to do some mapping for a few FPS, but the most I've done was also on Duke3D! Loved that editor. I didn't have a physical book, but printed the whole documentation which ended making quite a thick binder 😁

I cant see me getting any other games in the future. Perhaps it may be worth considering that Steam may be a slippery slope, and that despite your best intentions you will in short order accumulate a backlog of hundreds of games that you will never actually play. This happened to me. I live to tell …

Nice build! Interesting, so it seems versatility is an important point for some of you guys. I'm wondering, is it mainly a matter of available space, or the technical challenge itself of building a machine that can do the most?

Probably my AthlonXP rig . Mainly because it's so versatile. That system can play DOS games just fine with the help of slowdown utilities. Win9x games work great on it, including late-era stuff like Deus Ex. And even some WinXP titles like the original Splinter Cell run on it with acceptable …

I think all of mine are too temperamental and I hate them all! The one I hate the least is probably my VIA EPIA 800MHz thing because it manages to be both 'interesting' and useful, reliably, with a good soundcard in the system. It can do early windows 98 games to an acceptable level and DOS gaming …

As many users around here I do have several builds with a pretty diverse selection of hardware. But there's one I just feel particularly attached to. For those of you that know of old Top Gear, I feel as emotionally involved in it as Hammond and his old Opel Kadett he named Oliver during an Africa …

You probably won't find a decent 144Hz monitor with DVI input. Early high framerate monitors were pretty poor and by the time they improved DVI was replaced with DisplayPort. So assuming your card can actually output 144Hz you would need an active DVI to DisplayPort adapter to use it with a newly …

This was a triumph, I'm making a note here, huge success! Thanks for the tips guys. Got a Promise S150 TX4, it was absolutely painless to install, getting great 25-30 mbps read/write speeds instead of 5-6 before and the system just feels less sluggish. Really happy how it turned out!

Yeah, I have heard tales of Japanese games supporting these but they are probably not my thing. I did watch a Philscomputerlab video where he has a CM-64 which is mt-32 and cm-32p in the same case. They get the extra 33 sounds available. I was hoping someone would tell me yes so I didn't feel so …

Unfortunately the CM-32P basically has no use for gaming except a few japanese computers and games, so it's extremely, extremely niche. Even pairing it with a CM-32L (btw the CM-64 is a CM-32L + CM-32P in a single box), not only you will gain nothing out of the 32P as about no game make use of it, …
