Yeah, my mistake, at first I thought it was a digitized PC-Speaker sample, but apparently it is the MT-32.

Sounds to me more Wing Commanderish or even Star Warsish. Can't really put my finger on any particular track though 🙁

Oh crap. I knew I must have forgotten something. However, I did not use anything similar on the K6 either. It shouldn't be too hard to rerun those two tests. I'll see if I have the time to do them sometime next month!

Thanks :). Apparently, that's exactly what it does so no worries. I have a Magic Carpet poster/ad on the wall next to my bed that advertises the Pentium. :P Also, I updated the downloads, they now contain a .pdf file, for easier viewing. Vetz, where is the new 3D Accelerator Comparison episode!? I …

Finally done. I will update the first post to include this as well. I sat down and wrote this on Word, as I couldn't get the graphs to show properly. If anyone is willing to do it, you've got the numbers, shouldn't be too hard. Then they can send it to me and I'll include the graphs and their …

I'm not particularly demanding in this department, so I have the Logitech Z523 2.1 speaker set. The subwoofer is actually quite good. I don't really use headphones a lot, I have a set of Behringer HPM1000, pretty simple headphones, but adequate. I mainly use them at night when everyone else in the …

The SiS 530 is basically a SiS 6326. Very slow, but very compatible I would say. I managed to run Quake III on it, obviously it is unplayable, rarely producing framerates that include 2 digits, even on the lowest possible settings. The sheer fact that it ran without any hassle though, I would say is …

I always use Winamp, I have no idea what you're talking about. What music players do you guys use?

Yeah -- I can't wait. I was excited about the KT880; but after reading more about the nForce 2 400 Ultra, I see why it was so awesome. What do you guys think about a video card? I can go with either a GF4 Ti 4600, 6800 Ultra, 9800 Pro, etc, etc. I have a stock of many graphic cards from that era, …

I have a similar board. EPoX 8RDA3I Pro. Rock stable and all-around awesome, I think you'll love it :). Although, I don't see much point in such late Athlon XP hardware, late socket 478 stuff usually trumps it. And you don't get AGP 2x, so no Voodoo 5 for ya. It was a great first-time experience for …

Sure. I imagine I'll have the time to do it before the weekend, otherwise I will definitely try it during the weekend!

Re: Windows 2000 & Gaming Performance

Windows 2000. Man, what an awesome OS that was... It seems normal to me that it would be slower than 98SE, since it has a larger footprint than that. It was a lot like Windows XP and Vista/7. XP was faster and most people didn't care to move to 7 when not too many DX11 games were around. Provided …
