finally, i replaced the dual arm with two single arms. they are more customizable - i liked the most this "overlapping" mode. but of course it is possible to use in "dual monitor" mode too. i calculated it, i need ca +40-45cm longer desk for the proper dual desktop (180cm). 20180202_210206.jpg …

Nice! I assume both monitors are hooked up to one arm?? I have a similar sized desk (i.e. not very big) with a 22" flatscreen and 14" CRT and I'm considering something like this. Now I wonder if there even is an arm that would support both a CRT and flatscreen... yes, it is a t-shaped one arm …

thx. yes... the interwave is from amd. it is a great card, but at the scene demos you can have some gus compatibility issues with the timing.

here is my 486 VLB rig - targeted the late 1994. the cdrom type is a little bit newer (from 95), but the 4x drives were available (the cdu55e looks externally identical). for me this config has the biggest theoretical value - i collected it for more for one year, it has more quite rare pieces in …

Because of the external cache, which is faster than on the mobo. The latest this type of processor was the first p3, at the coppermine they integrated the cache finally to the core. From this moment the slot1 became useless (but you could buy both versions).

the riva128 pci is the fastest, has the best vesa support, and fits perfectly to the age. the drawback is the quality of the analog output - but with a loopback cable it doesn't really matter.

hi guys, i got this card. i use it in my 1999 rig. originally i planned a bx based computer with ghz p3 (the fastest in slot1) and with the gf2gts, but i stepped back to 1999, the first geforce was the big step. i build more bundles and computers, and compared the speed. that means i didn't compared …
