Hi! I recently learned about Nethack and would like to get into it. However, Nethack 3.4.3 runs quite slow on my DOS machine. These are my specs: 486DLC/e 40MHz 1MB RAM (probably irrelevant) Trident TVGA 8900D, 1MB I learned that Nethack 3.4.3 recommends at least 4MB of ram. Before I upgrade my …

I was wondering if you have a defining moment where you fell in love with pc gaming. Mine was definitely the demo of tomb raider 1 from the cd of Swedish PC gamer back in 1996 ish. I played it so many times but never understood how to move any blocks. Demo games back in the day were often sparsely …

Personally, I think that true RAM disks are principally superior to SSDs. Well, Intel Optane is still a thing. Intel Optane is still just an nVME SSD with better 4k read response compared to regular nVME drives form what I can tell. Nowhere near as fast as a RAM drive would be. Also, there last …

You don't need much headroom when it comes to 1.4ghz CPU. 155-160 mhz FSB is possible on VIA boards, which is 1.6-1.7ghz limit for most Tualatins anyway.. I saw someone having one overclocked to 2ghz but I think you might need some extreme cooling https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHCHTbFhhqE His …

What if I use a dual socket tualatin board with 2 1.4 ghz pentium 3's Windows 98 only recognizes one CPU, so having a dual socket configuration would not get you any extra performance. You would need Windows NT, 2000 or XP to benefit from such a setup. That said, a 1.4 GHz Tualatin is excellent for …

I don't understand why the image would be offset on both the 2D and the 3D card across different displays. That doesn't make any sense. Maybe one or the other, or both on one monitor that has some kind of problem. Am I misunderstanding? It's clearly some basic thing going on, but OP made it look …

I think the Geforce3's 57 million transistors, with a 230 mhz memory clock would definitely beat the Spectre 3000 You definitely ARE 3dfx fanboy, I can't argue with facts and logic .

Idk how much better it would be, but I know it has ddr instead of sdr This thing would easily destroy GeForce2 GTS, if the specs are anything to go by. Closing on GeForce3, perhaps?
