Re: 2001 Dream PC project

You can try to overclock a 250MHz version with 4ns RAM to 275MHz. In the most cases you should be successful. There are some 250MHz cards with 3.6ns RAM which should surely fit the 275MHz.

Re: Voodoo 2 - how to test

More info, OS, Drivers, when do games crash. Open case test, closed case test, what kind of airflow? Etc. As for a general stability test you can leave Unreal looping, run Quake II demoloop with crusher and massive1 looping. I find the Unreal intro causes issues often before the QII demoloop. I'm …
