Actually, there is a way to exceed 4GB RAM on 32bit OSes. There's a certain CPU feature that allows much more RAM to be accessed, even in 32bit enviroments. Windows by default have this disabled, but there does exist a patch that enables this. Can't remember the name, but I have tried it out on …

Type the whole spec, although going to 4GB will help insanely.

Depression can kick in on everyone, I think everyone has a little bit of it inside of them :). I'm generally a happy guy, but I have my darker moments when I want to close the door on everyone and just leave. Being with someone you love can be very helpful, everything just seems to make sense, …

Re: Anyone have bad luck with Linux?

Nobody uses vi. Had a lab at my uni where we used it in last semester and that's about it. There are much much better alternatives. The thing about Linux is, it is open source, modular. You can customize it the way you like it. That's why it powers a crap ton of stuff nowadays. It is not about being …
Re: Any Speed-Sensitive Games for Pentium Class?

K6-2+/3+ are your friends with those 3D Bullfrog games. Magic Carpet actually runs faster on my K6-III+ 550 than on my Pentium III 500 (hi-res mode, although still not totally playable). A Pentium will run them fantastically in low-res, but high-res will be taxing, maybe High Octane can get away …

Most of the population is pretty reliant on Linux and don't even know it. It's likely on their phone, maybe a tablet, possibly running in their home internet hardware, runs a large percentage of the internet, etc. It is most definitely a highly useful OS for many situations. The Linux desktop is …

Great stuff. I think I have an ET6000 with 4MB RAM somewhere. It's not really getting any use, would you like to have it (for free, obviously!) ?

A GeForce2 MX 400 is a bit faster than a GeForce 256 SDR, but certainly slower than a DDR. GeForce 4 MX 440, on the other hand, is on par with the GeForce2 Ultra. Not too shabby at the time of release.

That Jedi Knight disc doesn't look like the final release, but more like an OEM demo disc, perhaps a longer version of the downloadable demo. That one had Level 9 - Fueling Station, if you ever get your hands on it Vetz I'd be very interested in looking into it!

That CD-ROM cover art is so mid-90s. The dawn of the 3D era 😀.

Woah! Why the hell does it sound like that? I have one that looks exactly the same and it never caused me problems like that (never noticed any hanging notes for example). Downright weird!

It is kinda silly indeed, especially with AA. Most people would game at 1024x768, perhaps 1280x1024 and AA wasn't really a thing, unless you had a very beefy machine. AA was mostly used to make older titles look better! Heck, AA wasn't that big until about 3-4 years ago when FXAA started getting a …
