You know my 266MHz that gets marginal performance in MDK and high performance in UT2k3, and has all my Quake mods on it?

It died today.

Cant put a partitioned Maxtor 40gb hd into a P100, it won't work with the motherboard.

It didn't explode, the processor bit the dust. It wasn't my video card (no vid card, you get consecutive beeping), and there was no startup beeps ever, nothing could display, thus the computer is wasted.

What I use now? P100 w/ Voodoo2 and 1GB HD, DoD v1.0 works, but swaps ram like hell :(

I think its time you got a new PC, switch your kyro over cos the voodoo sucks.

The Kyro is AGP, the Pentium won't work with it. Anything other than that is a slow Riva 128 and a TNT which performs worse than the Voodoo2.

CheapHack Quake works but I lost the source now :(

I... couldn't bear it. Will you cremate it and store the ashes in a tiny locket around your neck, along with a small photo of it breaking 50 fps on UT2k3?

Actually I keep it all the way to the max, because putting it any lower doesn't speed things up.

And as for you The_Wolf, your FPS is pretty pathetic due to the TNT2... i remember having one in my 266 and it then was equal to that Pentium 100 I have now! I scored 62 3dmarks with it and returned it. A GeForce2, Kyro2 or a Radeon would pump the frames up by 3x.
