Have been trying to breathe some more life into my other rig - which I somewhat moved away from after building the compact P3 in my sig:
Pentium 120 (P54CQS) @133 Mhz;
32MB RAM;
ViRGE 325 4MB;
Voodoo Graphics 4MB;
ES1868F;
Windows 95/DOS 6.22.
This is a loose replica of the first PC my family owned that I really got into. It's a funny CPU in the sense that, despite having been made in 1995, it sometimes punches above its weight class all the way up to the end of the 90s: HOMM3, C&C: Tiberian Sun, Jagged Alliance 2, Midtown Madness, FIFA 2001 (we're talking software renderer!), and - with a decent graphics card - stuff like Soul Reaver, Earthworm Jim 3D, SW Episode I Racer, etc. There's even more playable titles from 1998. It even does ZSNES 😀 But, of course, you can forget about high resolutions and effects.
I've been wondering if Voodoo 1 is holding it back in some games 😀 NFS4, Unreal, Omikron: The Nomad Soul and Driver - all performed abnormally slow with it. So today I locally picked up a PCI Savage4 Pro 8MB for cheap, and gave it a quick spin:

Unreal and Omikron: The Nomad Soul have actually become playable with this processor! 😲 I even tried some intentionally heavy titles - like Deus Ex and Frank Herbert's Dune - and they work, too! With lots more RAM I could probably complete the training level in DX 😀 The latter game, however, was too much of a slideshow.
I've yet to try NFS4 and others, but seeing how Earthworm Jim 3D and Midtown Madness are doing better with Savage4 Pro on the same config - I'm pretty sure the rest will do, too (GLQuake, however, was noticeably slower than it was on the Voodoo, but it is likely a driver issue).
