Stalker 2. Play it. I would if I could! I've been playing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games for 10 months now. I started with the first one, Shadow of Chernobyl, in May 2024 and i've been slowly progressing through all of the games. I really like all of them! If I should pick a favorite I'd say Call of …

keropi wrote on 2024-12-14, 09:51: very nice build 😀 I also bench quake - even on 386 if it has a fpu - not for speed but more of a stability test as I assume it stresses things to the max Thanks! That's true, Quake makes for a great stability test. So far, I haven't experienced any stability …

While I like the build I don’t think 1FPS result in Quake timedemo teaches us anything. Can you do X-VESA benchmark? And how slow can you go when disabling cache? The Quake test was just an amusing side note, and also stating the obvious that it's all about the CPU power when it comes to Quake in …

Here are the benchmarks. I also compared the results between CL-GD5422 and ET4000AX. As you can see, there isn't that much of a difference. The CPU is most likely the bottleneck here. BIOS settings: https://i.imgur.com/Vz09OKk.jpg Benchmarks: https://i.imgur.com/c7IGJWj.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ …

Here’s my first 386 desktop setup! I’ve been building PCs since the late ’90s every now and then, but this is something I hadn’t done before. I did own a Toshiba T3200SX portable back in the mid-’90s as my second PC, so I’m not new to 386 systems. I used it mainly to test doors for my BBS and to …

I'll definitely play Clear Sky after this one! I just finished S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (2008), and I have to say that I enjoyed it as much as Shadow of Chernobyl (if not even more). I think it slightly lacked the gloomy and bleak atmosphere of the first one and felt more like a typical FPS, but I …

I started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (2007) on my eWaste XP build a little over a month ago. This is the most modern game I've ever played! The dynamic lighting looks impressive! So far, I've made it about halfway through the game, and it seems to get better the more I progress. I …

For the CPU, I came across a AMD K6-2+ 570mhz CPU. Once I got a hold of it, I went ahead and tried to do the upgrade to K6-3+ by unlocking the full 256kb L2 cache. This mod was a success and it truly made the rig come alive. So, I had everything ready but the V2 SLI set. Looks great! I'm building a …

I just bought this motherboard (ASRock ALiveNF6G-VSTA). The main issue with it is that it powers on immediately after I turn the PSU on. XP installed just fine, but when I shut down it tells me "Now it's safe to turn off the computer". I updated the BIOS to the latest version, but that made no …
