Well here's another one - why ask then? Are you serious? Why ask people about retro computing on a retro computing forum? I'm certain that he wasn't looking for advice on how NOT to build a retro rig. It's like telling you that Gateway computers suck and it's pointless to buy them. I expected as …

S370...try putting a via c3 in it? Does it have ISA? Might be a good DOS/win95 machine.

I'm disappointed in you guys. "Why bother? What's the point?" Because it's fun. This entire website is dedicated to building old rigs for fun and these questions still turn up? Shame. The 2x Xeon 3.06 will do much better than those systems. Well here's another one - why ask then? If you want to do …

If you are in this range...can't see why anyone would NOT use CF.

I use a Radeon 5850 is my main XP machine, but some games don't work with it, so I have another XP machine with a Geforce 560 that works with everything.

No games from this era make use of multi cpus/cores. Why bother?

I don't think I ever clicked on unread threads, at least intentionally. I suspect most of us clicked active all the time.

I can't say I fully agree with this. The purple looks OK and the contrast works well on my phone. Also getting to the end of a topic in your/new posts is easier, as I don't need to aim for a tiny icon. It is an upgrade for me, even if not perfect. I think to much space is taken up by title info, and …

The standard GM sbk from Creative sounds surprisingly good in some games, e.g. PQ1, under DOS.

Did something happen? It seems darker or something all of a second. I liked the brighter purple, more contrast or something.

Only thing left for me is Active Topics. Then I can safely forget the previous incarnation.

Can we disable that slow scroll down to the bottom of a thread? Gets annoying after a while.

Yes, I used active topics as much as "your posts". Can it be added to the search bar too?

On mobile phone, I can't see the "my posts" and "new posts" links. I can on tablet and pc. It is annoying as I use them most of all.
