Re: The frustrations of the GPU market

Posted on 2022-01-23, 17:24

It has happened twice before, 2018 and 2014 for lesser degree. Bitcoin has had earlier runs but miners weren't yet really a thing. Cryptos increase insane amounts in value every 4 or so years, bubble bursts and then drop from their highs during the next ~9 months. That's when the miners sell their …

in Windows
You can use dir command and pipe the output to a file. Open command prompt, navigate to any dir, then type... dir /b /s > filelist.txt To get a list of all files, dirs and subdirs (and files) in a text file called filelist.txt. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/ …

Free to any home (I Need Space!)

Posted on 2022-01-08, 22:11

Due to family and other excursions, need to jettison some stuff and no longer have space for these old programming/computer books (Win311/Win9x/Win2k/VB/OpenGL/C#/AutoCAD ARX). Haven't got the heart to throw them out so they are free to anyone who wants them. In Sedgemoor/Somerset (South-West UK) if …

Re: PCem v17

That sounds like a compiler problem. I haven't tried building PCem for Linux but what if you built it with -O2 instead of -O3? Or with Clang instead of GCC? Good idea! With -O2 the crash happened immediately after clicking the "Load" button to start the OS. -O1 seems to be working, no crash. My GCC …

Re: SGI/Intergraph Zx10 Project

MIPS still had some merit for a few years. Mainly in the SMP Cluster/Server market with Onyx350, Onyx4 (beast) and in the workstation market Tezro. The single CPU Fuel and Octane were starting to show their age by this point I think though. Irix felt dated comapred to Windows. The only true x86 SGI …

Screenshot_20211121-121159_Gumtree.jpg Nice case, didn't realise these were marketed as 'Visual Workstation'. Is screen shot 3 displayed as part of the BIOS? Since you have a window there, why not get a replacement unsheathed Wildcat, so perhaps not a realizm, but any of those Wildcats (42XX, 51XX, …

I worked with a guy who was homeless for years. He is a good guy and one of the most heard-working people I've ever met. Trust me, homelessness can happen to anyone, given enough bad luck. yes, the journey from here to there is shorter and sharper than most of us imagine about the game, i'm sure i …

Re: Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 3D-Acceleration

Posted on 2021-09-19, 15:44

As the description says, it supports MMX instructions, so there would be a performance benefit when running on MMX CPU's. MMX is SIMD, and given 3D calculations heavily involve matrix and vector operations, SIMD would benefit the performance immensely (at least x4 for vector ops, possibly more for …
