Depends on which AMD. It's not a broad anti-AMD thing, it's just some of their stuff are very associated with very finicky and subpar motherboards relative to the Intel socket/slot offerings. Super Socket 7's and Epox for example, my mobos that are these didn't survive. 🙁

Don't forget Papyrus and Impressions' part of the Sierra devs. 😀 also k.a.a but wasn't that just a short-lived EXTREME HARD CORE!!! sub-brand for Dynamix only used for two games?

It could even be a local shareware/freeware game since Finland had such an exclusive gamedev scene, because I don't remember it. It could be rotting on mbnet.fi somewhere. The mention of a techno soundtrack certainly suggests as so (in using a tracker playback library being common for european …

I would dabble into old Athlons again but they're an unstable nightmare, so I take it easy and drink the mainstream koolaid for Pentium 4 filling that Athlon hole instead. :P If I wanted to build a period correct Pentium IV i'd load it up with Willamette, Geforce2 GTS, Windows Me XD, and deck out …

Problem with those are their drivers. Some of them will even force texture compression introducing artifacts in older games whether you like it or not and don't get me started on the whole table fog thing... A "fast pixel shader 3 p4" rig would feel rather redundant ATM until the latest tech has …

Re: How do PowerVR accelerators work?
Posted on 2014-08-09, 20:37
PowerVR PCX2 works by passing video output through the bus to the host card. Try to prefer 24/32bit color where possible so it can transfer faster. The PowerVR's driver provides a tab in the Display Properties that has a checkbox to use the HAL for all Direct3D games. Uncheck this if you want to use …

I much rather preferred the Dynamix part of Sierra which had transmogrified as several companies over the decade (GarageGames, InstantAction etc)

Low speed? I see that as a non-issue, and would prefer it to be slower.
