Such a loss. He was very welcoming and helpful, buying software from rloew was always a pleasure. I was waiting for someone in his family to give the permissions to distribute his software.

I'm almost always use well known PowerStrip to create CVT reduced blank Timing Standard (CVT-RB) for those older GPUs/drivers that does not support it by default. CVT-RB offers reduced horizontal and vertical blanking periods which allows a lower pixel clock (less clock and phasing issues) …

EDIT 3: I was running the timedemo again today and noticed that the OS X version of Doom 3 is not multi-threaded. If you run the timedemo on a dual-core Windows system, you get near 100% CPU usage. However, on the Mac I was only getting 50% CPU usage, so that 2nd G4 was just sitting there doing …

I usually don't reply to myself, but I got it working finally using the win2k 1.04 driver. Its a little buggy in 1600x1200 desktop, it's more like 1650x1200 and goes off the edge of the screen. However it is working nicely now and I played some Shadows of the Empire on it. :) I may try the beta …

Thanks @havli I got this working now. @dottoss the SFFT control just doesn't work on a PIII-S even with .net 4 installed, it sucks 99% cpu and I think it did some stuff to my system as I saw the microsoft security center thing pop up and immediately close when I was installing it (the drivers were …

Never experienced it and I use ME 99% of the times when i build Win9X systems. If you have tested different mobos with different install of WinME then by logic, the issue is following your Voodoo 3 card? What happens if you use another GPU or a PCI NIC?

Cool, give me the results, because you might be right. SFFT was last developed ~2010 and that was way before the SSE2 crap with windows update and I have not used any voodoo cards in an XP machine since around 2016.

What version would that be? As far as i know, SFFT requires .net 4.0 which is supported on Windows XP, that is Windows XP SP3 . https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851 If you are not going for Windows XP SP3 then i guess you can use this link: https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/ …

Rather frustratingly, this machine simply wont run stably with the processor running at 1400mhz. (The system frequency of 133) It will get to bios and then the keyboard stops responding after 1 keystroke. Kinda defeats the purpose of the CPU I got. https://i.imgur.com/BiUj0mGm.jpg Ive even taken …

I prefer ME over W98 as I feel it's just a tiny bit more polished than W98. It's more pleasant and for me, it has always been a little more stable than it's earlier siblings.

The absolute best? That would in my opinion be R.

I think this would be the easiest approach for you, considering you are also dual booting …
