I got a little bit ambitious and tried an FX 5600 and an FX 5700 Ultra with my Slot A Ironbridge system. Nope, that was a bad idea. Neither even POSTed successfully. (My TNT2 M64 works fine though.) Couple of runs with the Quadro FX 3000.... Do you have any idea why your FX GPU runs on your …

My Slot A Ironbridge system currently has a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP. I will be able to submit some 3DMark scores with it, but they won't be competitive. Fish story - The one that got away Yesterday, on the bay, I saw a Radeon 9800 Pro with both 3.3V and 1.5V keys for less than $50 USD, and I impulsively …

That could be cool. Would need to set a finish date for the prizes. How about October 30, 2023 at 11:00 AM UTC? My reasoning: Five weekends ought to be enough for anybody who would be motivated by a potential prize. supercordo, you would have time to make the final update to the leaderboards in …

Would anybody be interested in prizes for top finishers? I have 3 Steam games from Humble Bundle that I'd like to give away by clicking the "Gift to a friend" button. Lost Planet 3 Complete Pack Strider Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen They could go to the top finisher for 3dMark2000, the top finisher …

...Men routinely depicted as neutered weaklings, especially white men.... Could the media's frequent depiction of men as weaklings be a reflection of a trend in American society? This morning, I listened to this interview with Richard V. Reeves about his new book Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern …

As a person who is a minority in one way, I'm thankful for the western media's promotion of tolerance because viewers are affected by the media that they consume. Mankind is in a sad state, when being told what to think (here, by TV) is considered a good thing. I think that I understand your point— …

I'm pretty sure movies have always sucked. We forget the bad ones and remember the good ones, giving the impression that things were better in the past. They weren't. You nailed it, Errius. ...Star Trek TOS, in which diversity simply felt reasonable, progressive and honest... I disagree. When Star …

I recommend the video Taiwan conflict - Facing the threat from China | DW Documentary to anyone who is interested in the Taiwanese people's debate between the status quo, independence and reunification. (Spoiler alert: It's mostly a debate between the status quo and independence.)

I own 2 slotkets. The first slotket that I bought did not work on my motherboard with a pin-modded 1.4 GHz Tualatin Celeron, but it worked fine on my motherboard with a 1.1 GHz Coppermine-128 Celeron. Then, I bought a different kind of slotket, and it works fine on my motherboard with the pin-modded …

As long as Taiwan continues to show strength with a respectable military, a good economy and broad public support for their current form of government, the island will remain outside of Beijing's control. If any of those 3 legs of the stool becomes weak, then Beijing might try to take advantage of …

On the technical side, we can't patch any files that are read from the CD at runtime. We would need to determine if there is a difference between the ATF 1.00f CD-stored files that are used at runtime and their ATF 1.03f counterparts. If there is a difference, then creating an unofficial patch …

Yeah, I'm sorry that we couldn't find a working patch. Maybe there's some music in the ATF Digital Music Update that will ease our sorrow. https://archive.org/download/ATFDIG/ATF_DIG.EXE

I admit that I misread your first post. You wrote that you own ATF disc version 3, which was made in the USA. BBC in your disc's label ATFOEMBBC may stand for Best Buy Co., which sold PCs and PC games in the USA in 1999. It's odd that your disc doesn't contain the fully patched DOS version of ATF …

That's unfortunate. Might the 1.03f patch be buried deep somewhere on the NATO Fighters disc? Does your NATO disc have non-English writing on it? (I noticed that your disc was made in Europe and its text is in English. I wouldn't expect a British version to be different from the American version, …
