I really liked your DeluxePaint II Enhanced video. I had heard good things about the program before, but I had no idea it was so powerful! 😳

I fear for the day the singularity happens, the day that computer AIs manage to gain sentience and reach human intelligence. I like computers as much as the next person, but I much prefer my computers to be "dumb" number-crunching machines that obey my commands. :P I actually have my own saying in …

Are you sure that everyone sees the same comment order? It could be that google sorts it personally... That's exactly what they claim they're doing now - god forbid that us, the unwashed masses, would have to do such complicated things as thinking by ourselves, deciding what we find interesting, …

Lately I've mainly been playing Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike 1.6. Both awesome games. 😁
Re: How do you fix the timing glitch on Unreal Tournament '99?
Posted on 2013-11-13, 08:06
It may have been mentioned above, but the most common fix for speed problems is to run it on a single core. There's several utilities out there (RunOne, SetAffinity, some game profilers, manually through TaskMan) that let you set the process affinity to one core only. This seems to fix UT on most …

The board in your machine actually seems pretty decent, save for the lack of ISA slots. I used to have a 486 with a Cirrus Logic VLB video card and it was pretty decent, so what I would do is add more ram to the onboard video card, throw in a sound card, and you'd pretty much be set. It doesn't have …

How does the FX5600 compare to the 5500 and the 5200? I remember the 5200 being a pretty lousy card, and the 5500 is only a slight bit better. XD The FX5600 is worlds away from the 5200 and 5500. It's about 30% faster than the 5200 and about 22% faster than the 5500. That's enough to make some DX9 …

Re: Working SHARE.EXE in DosBox Megabuild 6

This is the only program that will execute a DOS program without having to set up a virtual machine and runs at decent speed. Can you suggest anything that fits this criteria other than DosBox? Besides, this accounting software is simple and will only tie my friend over for a month or so and is …
Re: Abe's Exoddus slow on Pentium 3 (Voodoo Banshee)
Posted on 2013-11-09, 00:05
The board has an AGP slot (obviously, as the Banshee I have had installed in this system has th AGP interface) and 5 PCI slots. I hadn't yet tried doing what you suggest, but I have now. I again pulled out the Banshee, and put the Voodoo 3 in the uppermost PCI slot, the one right under the AGP slot …

The only reason why I continue to use YouTube is simply because there is no better alternative. They essentially hold a monopoly on the whole video sharing market.

I tried to bypass Google+ for commenting on a video, but it was to no avail. My Youtube account isn't even linked to a proper Gmail address, so it looks like I won't be doing any more commenting on Youtube.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of PS3 exclusives that I'd want to spring for. Infamous 1 & 2, Ni No Kuni, the newer God of War and Final Fantasy games, and I guess The Last of Us and Heavy Rain. True. If you have an XBox 360 then there's not too much point in buying a PS3, or vice versa, as …

If you need some Pentium instructions but don't want to mod the socket, maybe try one of the Cyrix 5x86 CPUs.
