You are actually buying the expensive solution? :shocked: I hope you have other plans as well for it, not just for the Tasmania ;) If you are actually going to buy it, then be aware of the following limitations: 1. 800x600 from Voodoo 1 and Voodoo 2's have problems. You are missing around 10-15% of …

Most games in the mid 90s had auto demos that would start playing if you stayed in the mainmenu. If the game got this, it's pretty easy to capture and compare. Other options are ingame cutscenes or sections of gameplay were you don't have control over the camera/character. If everything fail, then …

Unreal Gold runs smoothly 800x600 on this PC: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=32425&highlight= Pentium MMX 233 at 262Mhz, Voodoo 4MB, 64 Mb EDO RAM. What's your chipset? If it's 430TX, using only 64MB RAM might help A LOT. Sorry, but I have to take this with a pinch of salt. My own experience …

I primarily asked you to test the Tasmania, so this is what my post will be covering. The Tasmania has only 5 known games that it supports (which you can find in my list here on vogons). I would test all of these with the Pentium 100 you got as that should bring out the performance differences the …

It's true as f2bnp says, the game will be playable with a 233mmx, especially if you got a Voodoo2 SLI setup. It's not perfect 30+ FPS in all situations, but you can live with it 😉

Unreal really requires a Pentium II to run smoothly. Back in the days PC gamers weren't that sensitive to framerates as we are today. 15-20 FPS would be considered playable. I mean, take a look at this video from E3 1996 at 19:50: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tLIdB0jC6A They are showing of …
