486 = Doom & Descent Pentium = Quake lol, Intel could have used that for a punchline upon the pentium release. How? Do you think Quake was developed before the release of the Pentium? How what? I Didn't think Quake was written before the release of the Pentium. I have no idea tbh, so I certainly …

486 = Doom & Descent Pentium = Quake 🤣, Intel could have used that for a punchline upon the pentium release.

I'm another Viewsonic CRT fan, I used to have a E70f (flatscreen) and it was awesomely sharp with a lovely colour rendition. Certainly the best 17inch I had ever used or seen.

Sorry, been watching this thread and all the regurgitated dribble that was thrown around for people to believe, and now I have to say something. I thought people would have more intelligence than that, but given the result, it is worrying that we in the UK are not. Wow 350 million, do you know what …

Things have changed and a lot of bloat has been tacked on so one does need a half way modern rig to keep up outside of just browsing the web. That xeon is basically just a C2D and many of those don't keep up. Upgraded my main rig to a xeon e5 v3 12 core and the cpu only cost me $105 shipped, the …

If it's about playing a DVD on the oldest hardware possible. Get a Creative Encore DVD card and be done with it. Thats what I used with my Rage128 on a P3/800. It was the only way to get smooth playback with true (not emulated) 5.1 sound in one package. 3 years later I had a GeForce4 Ti (MX400 maybe …

I'll let you into a little secret since I assume you are here since you like vintage/retro. There was a transducer technology pinoeered …

not everyone wants to use 3'd party stuff, A lot of workplaces have rules on stuff like that. Any workplace restricting such things most likely does not allow users to be taking ownership of system folders, if they even allow access to those folders. ^^^^ This then... If your authorisation doesn't …

"...omg, if only they knew back then how rare eMachines are in 2026..." "...I wish I lived 25 years ago with all that …

Won this for $60 including shipping. Amazing what OEM deals there are out there still. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/yPUAAOSwQupXUzoo/s-l1600.jpg http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~QQAAOSw9eVXUzov/s-l1600.jpg http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RdQAAOSwvg9XUzoy/s-l1600.jpg Once it arrives in one piece (* …

And "beneath a steel sky"... 15 disks aga amiga! Another great cinematic game.

I had a Delphine software pack on the Amiga which included Operation Stealth, Cruise for a Corpse, Future Wars, Flashback and Another world. You can add Cruise for a Corpse and Operation Stealth to your list. Cruise for a corpse is a cinematic detective game (pixel hunter though iirc) set on a ship …
