Re: My Pentium MMX machine

Posted on 2015-11-06, 00:00

Not bad! I think I have an MMX 233 that can hit 3x100MHz stable at 2.9V. I don't use these little guys anymore though. Cable management can be such a bitch on baby AT cases. I like what you've done, tying up the cables. I tried to make my floppy cable as short as possible, so I taped most of the …

I made this (instead of marking papers FYI) as a dumb joke based on the above ... but I'm not gonna lie, I'd play the hell out of it. And frankly it's pretty appropriate for this thread. Edit: Also, you should have this in your head after looking at it. :exclamation: Woah, that's a great mock job! …

Oh man, that is gold. Everything from the wifebeater to the crude re-coloring & attempt to make the beefy arms look 'furry' is just brilliance. It's like the Jazz franchise got its "gritty re-boot" 15 years before that became the thing to do. Love the screenshot too. I have a few disks from that …

An FX8350 is slower than a Core i5 2500k of a few generations ago in games: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6396/the-vishera-review-amd-fx8350-fx8320-fx6300-and-fx4300-tested/5 Unless of course you don't play your games in VGA without details just to see how fast your processor is in unrealistic …

Screaming with joy then 🤣 . I think CD-R and DVD-R writer drives used to have the "cool average guy" box art, until they all went with bulk.

I really hated that time in the late 90s when every retail box for PC hardware seemed to have some idiot's face or some "cool people" plastered on the front. I guess this one is from a bit later...but still. I really want to punch that guy. I don't know why, but I feel like we had this same …

We don't celebrate Halloween where I live, but I snagged "The Last Crown : Midnight Horror" to get my Halloween fix. Now for the full sequel to come out 😊 .

Sure, give it a try. The card certainly can't get any worse 🤣 . It's not an especially interesting card though, which you probably already know. The Xtreme Audio cards aren't really X-Fi cards, but Audigy SE cards.

I really don't get the distaste for the remastered art. Like, what else would you expect? It's a cel-shaded cartoon game. It's going to look the same save for the absence of large pixels. I think the original art is fine, but it's nice to see the game in the way Tim always imagined it looking in …

You can toggle between old and new graphics. But that's not really the point. If you look at the Monkey Island remakes, the graphics were actually redrawn in higher detail while keeping true to the style of the game. This DOTT remake just looks like they've scaled the graphics and applied a filter. …

Some years ago there was an interesting version of Jazz Jackrabbit up for sale on E-bay: http://i53.tinypic.com/2ee8utk.jpg I showed this to a friend of mine and he remarked " What the hell does John McClane have to do with Jazz? " :lol: . I also posted this on Jazz2 Online and hilarity ensued: …
