Hmm.. I would like a 1980s system. Just for Winter games, Digger and the eventual Frogger...

I loved Gothic, buggy and ugly like a Fiat but it was a nice ride none the less. I loved the draw distance which imo made it feel very real. I too never really fell for Morrowind, a game I never liked as much as it deserved... But I liked spelunking in old dwarven ruins so I probably spent a couple …

Ok a video is enough info, sry for the grumpy tone. Have checked that those speakers don't disturb the CRT? Was a usual problem back then.

You need to be much more specific to get a serious answer.
Re: Did you miss any significant period of computer development?
Posted on 2021-09-14, 17:48
I missed everything before 1996 kind of. Oh and the last 3-4 years maybe. My last upgrade on my main was a gf1070. But I think it still holds up, at least when I want to play Total War or something. I always miss the current era and go back to it later. Saves a lot of money and eliminates stress …

I have a few of these, never cracked them open but they've been very reliable for 15 years now... Just remember to NEVER stack anything on top of your usb floppy drive. It sends to push the heads into the disks and scratch your disks up. Took me too long to learn that valuable lesson. Good point, …

Oh I have always used the command prompt to do such things. Yeah this particular floppy I had written 'bad' on.. so I guess it was bad in an other drive. I was just thinking if it could be formatted in the wrong way or something that can't be fixed with a simple reformatting. (Got these in a goody …

Looks a little bit unstable maybe, but you might not have a toddler running around like I have, performing safety test on everything using his face. 😁 (You could ofc fix it to a wall.)

Nice way to make use of a core2duo. They are probably the least liked CPUs at the moment. And nice work with the arcade too, a half sized one takes up less space.

I don't get what you mean by low end. Maybe if you are more specific and maybe post some benchmarks someone can say if it looks ok. I mean your processor is for 1999 or something and a gf2 was released in 2000 or so.. should be an ok fit.
