I didn't have sound until late 90's when my family bought a new PC, before that we had a Windows …

Reminds me of when the first Crysis came out and everyone told me I wouldn't be able to max it out on my Pentium D... The joke was well and truly on them, not only did I run it, I then completed the second game in DirectX 11 mode on the same machine. CPU's aren't important these days when it comes …

A couple of months back I tried to get any USB mice to work on my W95 machine with no luck. Even tried several mice with several PS2 adapters and in the end I just went back (or forward) to W98. I did find some 3'rd party USB drivers that were supposed to fix it but that didn't work either. My USB …

Don't know if I should laugh or cry. But in all fairness, they are decent for older machines and have good backward compatability. The FX 5200 is the worst card ever. I got scammed into getting it once when one of the big box stores was selling it with 256MB vram for cheap. The PCI version is …

A Voodoo 1 would go great with that CPU for stuff like Quake.

Though call. List could change depending on the time of day but now I would put my top 5 like this: Pentium II - Very versatile and just a huge leap for gaming. Also slot CPU's are cool. AMD K5 - Guess I like it for being the underdog. Despite having better per-clock performance still couldn't match …

Well this machine was previously a Voodoo 1 build, was fun to mess around with for a few weeks, however it just couldn't run games at a steady framarate when it came to stuff that came out after 1997. I figure this will keep me entertained for a month or so and I'll see where I can go from there. On …

Well, it doesn't look too elegant, but it works! Time to switch out the the old PII 300. Thanks for the help.

If you could, that would be great.

Hey everyone, For a couple of weeks now I've been looking to finish my Voodoo 2 SLI rig. Just got a 550MHz P3 "katmai", but ran into a slight problem, which are the fan pins. Anyone have any idea what sort of wires are used here? The regular 3-pin fan connector doesn't seem to fit here.
