I will imminently upgrade my video card, but i am aware that a k6-2-450 may lack the floating point processing power to do the newer cards justice at low reses, but i'm thinking of a voodoo 5 to enable me to run at the same speed at a higher res with some FSAA..

I know..not complaining at all...it's just that I only have PC - 100 RAM...should cost around 贄 to upgrade...and there are much faster 'puters out now..

my POS9000 is a p 120, 125 mb hard drive, 16 mb ram, and some offbrand video card. it runs norton commander. i use it to play old cheesy gamse ie:: BattleChess, and Cool Spot.
I got the parts free and yes it is l33t because it has no case.

I also have an apple macintosh performa 100 - i think. i use it to play Super Munchers.
I got this free too

"you are all figments of my imagination"

but i think my processor is bad cos i get registry errors all the time, so i either need to buy a new processor/mobo, or just run linux all the time

TNT2 M64 (32mb)
533 celeron. (yes my mem is 133 bus but i got this to tide over till i have cash for a bigger chip)

Runs great, no probs. I recommend anyone thinking about a homebuild to do it. I shaved about 600 pounds (UK) off market price for equivalent and I know exactly what's going on at all times with it. (ABSOLUTE POWER!) Go to computer shows. In the UK they have them every weekend and it's all dealers that sell for cash so they don't need to report it for tax and they have no overheads.
I know, 98 = not very 'in' but nothing better for games.
Do have an eye on a redistribution store on the corner that has some Sun Sparc 2's for £50 and a matching 21" Sony trini for £120. Real cheap way for me to learn Solaris or a Sparc version of Linux. Anyone done something similar to that/exp with Sparc 2's? Mail me with any tips/ recommends/ yea's/ nay's you have.

.. mine's a peice of crap too, the cpu fan broke so i had to remove a side panel and grab my room fan to "replace" the little fan. Noisy little bugger. At least it keeps my video card cool and my system from making that loud beeping noise when my cpu is so hot it burns my fingers =( No more cobwebs and dust bunnies either.

It is a very bad OS. Made my machine crash a lot. A lot.

But I've had 2K Professional for quite a few months now, and it's only crashed once or twice.
