I don't type anything. There's a built-in benchmark via command file. Jaton_Video-118PCI-64LTV_GF2MX400.pdf I think it's 64-bit.

What benchmark strategy do you use for this game? Full lenght of the first demo, which barely if at all fluctuate near the end. I have located RivaTuner 2.24c, which they call "RivaTuner v2.24 MSI Master Overclocking Arena 2009 edition" Should not be an issue, I use it too. Using RivaTuner 2.24c …

1999 but P55C was very long in the tooth by then. Yes, that's why AMD K6-2 400mhz would be much more authentic for a budget build. Or even AMD K6-III 450Mhz.

by 1999 socket 7 was long in the tooth for even poor people. Not at all. AMD were still releasing new CPUs through 1999 and big brands were still using Socket 7 in their budget PC lineup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9tz8G9nYGo

that was the selling point for MMX, as for reality I'm not sure it was ever utilized to anywhere near that level of benefit Also Pentium MMX can't do MMX and FPU simultaneously. Neither did I! All hail Savage 4! Good thing I bought bunch of them before the "hype" :lol: Which version do you …

64mb should be ok for 1999. Intel 740 8MB AGP is mostly fine, but can be swapped for Riva 128/128ZX, which was quite popular option for games. Vibra CT4180 probably can be swapped for ESS1868, ALS100 or even AWE64 Value. Alternatively you can pick Ensoniq AudioPCI or ESS 1938S. late '98 to early '99 …

I'm weary to directly compare a mmx and non mmx cpu in games. How so? Pentium Pro should be noticeably faster at least in Quake 2. Although it's probably driver fault. Detonator 45.23 is too new.

graphics core/memory = 120 / 120 MHz That's too low for GeForce 2 MX400. It must be 200/166(200). I had to say some Nvidia results are quite low and not any better than Pentium MMX 233 with 430TX chipset. These tests were done without sound?

I don't think it's possible to disable cache, prefetch and other stuff on Athlon via utilities. Otherwise it would be already considered hot stuff, no pun intended, in retro PC communities. Slot A CPUs have minimal multiplier of 5x plus 85-90mhz option for FSB on some boards, while Socket A CPUs …

Does Slot A offer anything that Socket A does not aside from the cooler/rarer aspect? Goldfinger device maybe? Motherboard agnostic solution for CPU tweaking. Setmul work with Slot A and Socket A Athlon/Durons? Slot A multiplier is hardwired on CPU PCB, you can change it only physically, via …

No they still sell some retail boards still with full retail packaging and everything. If you're referring to that stuff, then no, it's still OEM.

What is the point of 120 FPS on a 60-75hz monitor? You won't get stable 100+ FPS in Unreal Engine games with a CPU below 1Ghz. To be fair, you won't even get stable 60 FPS.

The i840-scores are up to 40% higher than the scores of BX Only in SPECviewperf, which is probably limited by AGP 2x. Overall 840 is only slightly better in 1:1 tests, but can't be overclocked.

Gigabyte KX133 is decent on a hardware level, but has some software quirks. Only early BIOS versions can work with Thunderbird CPUs and there's no option to set RAM timings to CL2 when memory is set to 133Mhz. A voodoo 3 wouldn't take advantage of a fast system based like the KT333. Tell that to …

Intel had only 2 chipsets with DDMA (Intel ones are 430TX and 440BX) That doesn't make sense. 430TX and 440BX use the same south bridge.

95% of the time it's not required and can be fixed with adapter anyway.
