ok, here are the pics, enjoy 😉

if you can add in a Voodoo 1 or 2 , it should be a good PC to play games like Quake , Hexen II , Grim Fandango , Diablo , Starcraft, Tiberian Sun , maybe even some later stuff like Zeus Master of Olympus. Quake 2 , Half Life , Unreal or above would be too sluggish, as those games kind of require a …

I really don't know, this is an old Olivetti keyboard, I really like the sound that the keys make although the space key is a little flakey 😀 Here's the sticker on the bottom:

Somehow I think the board is capable of handling even a P233MMX. The jumper setting for 233 Mhz is 1.5x66Mhz, the CPU uses 3.5x66Mhz instead... If your board can handle P166MMX it must have split rail and if it can handle P100, it must have 1.5x66Mhz jumper setting. I think you should try and go …

Pentium MMX processors have twice the L1 cache, so a 166 MMX should perform closer to a regular 200 than its clock speed would suggest. MMX instructions are used extensively in HL for example, so if you seriously want to play that on this PC better get the 166 MMX :) Your PC already meets the …

Well I just clean it and install Windows 98 SE on it, with the Windows 95 installation I wasn't able to play Full Throttle, now I can :) Grim Fandango runs but slowly, Windows 98 with only 32 MB of RAM is not that bad, I will try to upgrade to 64 MB of RAM and I'm watching a few Matrox Mystique @ …

Well there are a few games that I would like to play, The Curse of Monkey Island, Quake II, Starcraft, Grim Fandango, Half-Life... The thing is there were two things that I would allways wanted to have in one of my computers and never had, a Plextor cd writer and a Matrox video card :) At the time …

Hi all, after reading the forum for a few days I bought my first retro computer, I had to! :) It was really cheap, for 25 eur this is what I got (and I'm still learning this retro thing)... A Shuttle HOT-555 v1.52 motherboard Pentium 166 MHz (non MMX) 32 MB RAM / 2 GB Hard disk S3 Trio64V+ video …

Thanks, I think I'll try to buy the ATI 9800XT, the NVIDIA seems to be much more difficult to find. eBay, here I come 😀

Hi all I have an old computer with one Athlon XP 2200+ and an MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard, right now it doesn't have a hard drive or video card, I'm planning on buying a round ide ata 133 cable and a hard drive, a new 1 GB sitck (right now it has 2 GB), and a new video card. Any help on buying the …
