Re: Video card for fallout3?

Posted on 2017-03-19, 10:56

I ran Fallout3 on a Radeon X1950XTX and a C2D E6600 , it did run , but at medium settings at best and even then it was choppy at times (indoors wasn't so bad, but outdoors it was struggling to keep 30fps). I would typically go for something like a Radeon 6900 series card, its more than capable of …

Re: Which XP?

Posted on 2017-03-11, 23:13

my rule would be. early Athlon XP (1600) / early P4 (socket 423 Williamette or equivalent - XP SP1 late Athlon XP /P4 - XP SP2 Athlon 64 or above - XP SP3 I would use about 1GB of RAM as minimum , while XP will run fine on less, it certainly won't hurt (especially as XP doesn't suffer from the RAM …

Re: Ideal video card for dual 1.4ghz Piii-s?

I don't really plan to use doom3 on the system, but was using it for a example. HL2 on the other hand I will. As for doom3 I thought it had SMP, both quake 3 and 4 have it so I thought doom3 might. I guess maybe I was wrong? out of the box, neither games support SMP , Quake4 had SMP support added …

Thanks for the input. My problem is finding a card that blends well with newer games that have smp supports like doom3 and HF2 and with older 9x games. I would think that fx5950 ultra or 9800 would be a good pick here. But never having a dual 1.4ghz setup before I really don't know. The closest …

the R850 would work , but its overkill , consider either a Geforce3-4 , Radeon 9800 or a Voodoo5500 (the 3dfx drivers dont really utilize SMP , but they work well) Geforce FX is also an option, as the kind of games that wont run well on it are also the kind of games that wont run on a Tualatin.

Re: Pentium 3 working games?

in Milliways
which Pentium III ? Pentium III can mean anything from a 450mhz Katmai , to a 1.4Ghz Tualatin. with a 450mhz Katmai , games from 2000 are perfectly playable. with a Tualatin , you can push that up to 2002 easily with games like GTA3 , Warcraft 3 etc. later stuff like Max Payne 2 will run , albeit …

Re: Pentium III 733 and ATI Radeon 9600XT

Running XP on anything other then a fast tualatin or early socket A / 478 machine with DDR is masochism. Stock xp with every service pack and a ton of extra services and needless programs running? yeah. probably. Non fluff xp works fine like early versions or standard WFFLP. In my benchmarks on old …

Re: The Compaq AP550 Workstation

Thanks everyone, Another thing I added to the computer today was a second fan . Doesn't seem like much ,but the system had a single 92mm rear fan , with space for another 92mm fan at the front, meaning the system could get quite hot (especially with fanless CPUs, 4 RDRAM sticks and a 15k RPM drive) …

The Compaq AP550 Workstation

Posted on 2017-01-16, 19:06

very recently I managed to get my hands on a machine Ive been wanting for a while , That being the Compaq AP550 , especially since my Dell Precision 220 stopped working (it kept on freezing despite no IRQ issues) The machine is in overall good condition , it hasn't yellowed too badly , especially …
