Title: Lil's PC Status (Im back! Best run and hide) Post by: Lilazzkicker on 2005-09-08, 12:10 Lil has managed to get his mitts on a Shuttle KT266A mainboard, and 1 CPU - AMD K7 Athlon (Thunderbird), 1.40 GHz. Not much of a upgrade, but it works for now, especially for 100$ cash.
Anyways, giving everything a run through, going to wait for the new thermal paste, bit lacking on the cpu, reguarding that.Otherwise, stable, running so far. Good to be back!

Title: Re: Lil's PC Status Post by: Phoenix on 2005-09-08, 16:12 Aye, the S3 onboard graphics absolutely suck. I built an Athlon 64 system with one (person didn't need high-end graphics), and it ran Q2 at 30FPS at 640x480 OpenGL... and 350FPS at 1024x768 SOFTWARE.
Lil: Glad to see you up and running again. Been a long time since you could kick any ass. :D |
