Those numbers with overclock you included are pretty telling that I'm probably CPU bound at my measly 1.4 for sure. I suspect I'm misremembering things from 20 years ago because I could swear I ran all these games flawlessly on my uncle's 933 coppermine with a ti4200, but I've slept a time or two …

Not related to computers really, but I did hook up a new phono pre-amp and re-EQd my AV receiver. Was surprised how much better stuff sounded, so I suspect my old cheapo preamp wasn't doing the RIAA eq very well.

I have a similar system , though using an AthlonXP and a GeForce4 Ti4200. You can find some of my benchmarks in that thread, if you want to compare notes. Software wise, I would recommend using the slightly newer v4.43 VIA chipset drivers and possibly also the 40.72 WHQL Nvidia graphics drivers. …

I remember reading about people using 128mb of RAM in 1999 and thinking it was an utterly stupid waste of money because that kind of RAM capacity would never be needed. Egg met face 4 years later when I built a system with 512

Specs are: AMD Athlon 1400 MHz 512MB PC133 RAM SB Live CT4760 (VxD Driver) GeForce 4 Ti4600 128mb (30.82 Detonator) MSI 6389 w/VIA KT133A Chipset (4-in-1 ver 4.35) Win98 SE w/ DX8.1 I'm kind of getting back in the swing of running a machine this old over the past year or so; it's possible I'm just …

That sounds promising. Much appreciated

This is probably a weird post , but I'm looking for a soundfont that would have sounded a little bit like what you got with a cheap sound blaster knockoff back in the day. I grew up with cheap garbage and though I enjoy some of the good ones, sometimes I'd like stuff to sound the way it did in DN3d …

I didn't really enjoy the SB0220 that much, it wouldn't do any sort of DOSing at all , in windows or true DOS. I'm using a ct4760, it's been a peach thus far.

You've probably already eliminated this as it's basic, but did you ensure the clock speeds were correct? I've heard of folks buying old cards that had aggressive overclocks or other custom stuff done to them.

Im wondering if that is a decent score for this setup? Running Win ME, 45.23 drivers for the GF4. PIII 1GHz 512mb Ram Ti 4200 64mb That's about what I was getting on my 1.266 Ghz Tualatin P3 with a Ti4600. Sadly, that motherboard was a server board and seemed like it really struggled with …
