Hi everybody!
Recently I decided to build a computer for Windows games from around 1998 to 2004.
I found a cheap socket 370 motherboard and decided to use it.
Specs:
P6BAP-Me motherboard
Intel Pentium 3 Coppermine 1ghz
Nvidia GeForce Fx5500 128mb
3x 128mb Sdram
ISA SoundBlaster 16
Windows XP Sp3
I used SoundBlaster 16 because it sounds very good, can output very loud sound 🤣

Most of old gmes work fine, can even run some newer games
Quake 4 is playable when i overclock the video card, no lag
Minecraft works but is a little to slow to play 🤣

Nice, I was wondering if MInecraft would execute on a Pentium III. Is it set on low detail with short render distance?

low detail, tiny render distance, smooth light off 🤣

That's cool. Runs pretty good on your machine 😀 You are lucky to have a voodoo 5. They are pretty rare. I would like to throw in some more ram on that p3 of mine, but 256 and 512mb sdram cards are rare and the ones i found were bad 😢
