It should be quieter, but not much, if at all better. Wouldn't hurt to try though, AMD platforms have super easy mounting clips. 😀

Nice! I think you'll really like the 8320 😀. Just to get things straight, you already have 8GB RAM? If so, no need for a change. If you have 4GB, just consider adding 2 more sticks and going to 8GB, 1600MHz is just as good as 1866MHz because it has lower timings. Not much of a difference really 😀.

I think I should have never mentioned washing those boards...
Re: Help with dead motherboards
Posted on 2014-04-23, 15:08
No, not submerging in water. Merely giving each board a shower. This has helped quite a few times, but mostly on boards that POST, but produce other problems like instability. This has been discussed before and the trick is to let them dry properly. The thing is, these boards were producing these …
Help with dead motherboards
Posted on 2014-04-23, 11:39
So, I have a few dead or acting really weird motherboards. -My P4P800SE powers up, doesn't POST or produce any beeps, and then shuts down after a few seconds. Nothing happens. -My P4P800-X powers up and hangs there, not POSTing or beeping. -My Soyo 6BA+ III used to work just fine. Sometime ago …

10$ is a bit steep, but I will probably get it if goes for 5$ or lower in a Steam Sale. It's exactly the right amount of random for me 🤣

Re: Story behind your avatar?
Posted on 2014-04-23, 01:29
My avatar changes on a whim. Usually after I get in an argument with somebody, I start to resent my avatar, because I don't like confrontations, and I end up mentally associating the avatar with the argument. At the moment, it's the evil scientist from the intro cutscene of Sam & Max Hit The Road, …

As always, great work! You should put all of these in a playlist to keep things organised!

Cool, I'll watch them as soon as they finish processing! All of this has got me going somewhat. I feel like playing this game. I've always wanted to play it and I guess now is as good a time as any!

Holy crap! How's the framerate without thermal vision? Does it take just as much of a hit when going from High to Very High? Funny thing, I've never really played any Splinter Cell games other than Conviction (which was pretty lame to be honest), but I remember seeing a friend, or rather a friend's …

Good idea d1stortion! Also, for those daring ones, overclocking the Ti 4600 will definitely help push those framerates a bit hehehe
Re: Ultimate PowerVR SGL card/rig/games?
Posted on 2014-04-21, 20:42
I think the results are part of the reason why people have kept their mouth shut for so many years. Prices are going to drop as a result of this information. Gona is doing a good service providing these results here. I agree that the lacking support probably is down to poor drivers for SGL. When …

At this budget, I wouldn't consider Intel. An APU wouldn't really be a significant upgrade to your current setup either. Going with a second hand Phenom II x6 is not a bad idea if the price is right though. The FX 6300 however is priced quite decently (in Greece it is only 96 euro, I've been …
Re: NT 4.0 few questions

I'm not really fond of the Steam version, because I like the soundtrack better on the DB60XG and even the AWE32 than the original PS1 release.

VDMSound. What a pain that was. It really makes you put things into perspective and really how far we have come. I was so amazed with DOSBox 0.63 when I first found it. I could suddenly play all those games I wanted... 😀
Re: So, what projects have you helped to Kickstart?
Posted on 2014-04-21, 14:09
None. I really like what has happened, but I'd much rather pay for the final product. Tex Murphy Tesla Effect is coming out tomorrow and I'll definitely be buying it 😀. The demo was very very well done, it captured everything Tex Murphy.
