Might also add Incoming but it's a bit tricky to benchmark as it doesn't display a summary so you need to pay attention and / or record the video output and then read the final average fps before the next level loads :blush: If I recall correctly that game is a dream to benchmark as it dumps the …

Do you want the animation or the image files? For the animation, the only way is to capture it. The image files are available on the internet. Here is a video I uploaded a while ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8UvDRc_rdo I could send you the original lossless file if needed/wanted.

Yea it would be interesting to see how you go! With newer gear I always use a Nvidia card with DVI / VGA dualhead. They clone under DOS and can be cloned under Windows. Capture DVI and work off VGA. Works really well. I do my Splinter Cell videos this way :) Yeah, that is my way of doing it as well …

I found that image quality degrades quite a bit with splitters and KVMs. I made some screenshots and posted a comparison a while ago. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=37998 I've noticed this myself on a cheap KVM switch I had earlier. I also tested a few VGA cables to get the best ones. …

Anyone have any experience with this combination of board and processor? You need to set the jumpers correctly for that CPU. Check your manual (which I belive you own). If not it is available on the ASUS webpage: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=VL%2FI-486SV2G%20(GX4) https://dl …
