Re: Where to find old retro/vintage PC parts ?!

PCX/PCX2 based cards don't come up a lot. Sometimes when they do come up, they are poorly described so it's hard to find them in searches. Of the two cards that I have, only one was able to find using Matrox as a keyword. The other one, i don't know how in the hell I managed to find it, was so …

Can someone please explain to me how "family sharing" is better than downloading a demo? When a family member shares a game, they only get a limited time trial after which they are automatically directed to the Marketplace to purchase the game if they want to continue playing. How is this better …

I'm going to continue boycotting the Xbox One until it isn't mandatory to have it connected to the internet or a kinect in order to use it. They've already ditched the internet requirement, but one connection to the internet will be required to flash the ROM to remove the DRM crap. Apparently, …

Last week: "Removing DRM and online are impossible! These features are vital to the operation of the XBox One!" So am I to believe the XB1 is now less capable than it was? What happened to those awesome cloud features that REQUIRED an internet connection? Are they taking that back? It seems we've …

heh http://www.ghacks.net/2013/06/19/microsoft-axes-xbox-one-24-hour-online-checks-used-game-policy/ I'm sure people will go running back safely to the arms of their proprietary XBOX console that is now just as restrictive as the one before it. It's too little, too late. What stops them from re- …

Microsoft Flight Simulator X supports multiple processors, but doesn't do it very well from what I have heard.

Interesting in that there is only one PCI slot, but at least it is PCI-X. I wonder if the Matrox Parhelia 256 PCI-X graphics card will work on the Serverset III HE-SL chipset? The drivers wouldn't install correctly on the ServerSet III LE (Intel SAI2 motherboard) system that I have. http://www. …

For that system I'd be more likely to go with Windows 2K than NT. 2K raises the bar for DirectX support all the way to DX9, making a larger number of video cards available for use. You'll be stuck with using the DX5 beta release with NT 4. I am using 2K on my dual PPro machine and it's not heavy on …

The first thing we need to know is are you using a legal copy of the game or did you download it from an abandonware site or torrent? Only support for legally obtained copies of games is provided here.

Doesn't Gametap run an emulator in your browser for vintage arcade games? If KoF is running emulated, then it's not technically a PC version.

The idea that there are other folks out there that get sexual pleasure (OK maybe not to that extent) from old PCs and old games makes me quite happy. That only happens for me if I get something at a stupidly low price or if I win a sniper war at the end of an auction to get something. Paying full …

For me it's easy. PS4 has 50% more GPU power and faster memory. It's like choosing between two PCs, one with a Radeon 7770 and one with a 7850. Being so similar to PCs it won't take long for PS4 games to look better, run with more fps, better AA or a combination of all of this. The original XBox …

Tons of people are going to buy into the Xbox One without realizing the ramifications of it, I just know it. I plan on boycotting it mainly because of the privacy-invading DRM measures, but who knows maybe one day I'll be at a friend's house and they'll beg me to try out this game on one or …

Flaunting it and trying to "prove" it just tends to come across as …
