Every once in a while the Salvation Army close to me has a computer... but they always want way too much for what it is. At some of the other thrift stores I regularly see small LCD monitors and sometimes some Pentium 4 systems but really nothing older. I haven't seen anything older than P4 stuff as …

Yeah, I'll see what I can do with the modules I have. From what I could find though, RDRAM overclocking was very sketchy with more than 1 stick.

Getting ready to put together a P4 system with RDRAM. I already have 4x 512MB PC1066 RDRAM set but would really like to track down some 16-bit PC1200 RDRAM. From what I could find, OCZ made some but haven't been able to find any. Any help finding some would be awesome.

Antec made a pretty nice and not loud one. I bought a few a while back because they are of thin-fin design and work very well. There are a few on eBay right now. Just search for: Antec 370 cooler If you want to reduce the fan speed, you can either get a temp controller or a manual controller.

I really don't understand how people during the 586 and 686 generations could put up with VIA and their endless problems. Somebody seriously needs to compile a list of the bazillion different VIA chipsets, their various revisions and the problems they have, and the tools needed to "fix" them. Did …

The thought of MIDIs for Starcraft was raised in another thread: I hope we can get Starcraft MIDIs one day. Anybody want to tackle it? While there are online converters such as these, I doubt they will do a very good job: https://www.bearaudiotool.com/mp3-to-midi https://www.conversion-tool.com/ …

The other thing you could try is to install the Audigy drivers on the Live! That's what I did back when I have a Live! It does improve the output quality and the Audigy drivers are less buggy. The Audigy 2 ZS is still a much better card though.

Well, it's much less about glide optimization and more about Tim learning Direct3D. Unreal wasn't always fully glide optimized either (and regressed some visuals in the glide driver in some patches as well) Don't forget to look into the advanced options for Direct3D (can quickly get there by typing …
