If I attach this giantass solid copper heatsink to my Athlon that is so loving heavy that I have to knock holes in the top of my case and suspend it with fishing line I can get an extra 80 MHz before the CPU overheats and literally torches a hole through my motherboard? Well poo poo there's no downside here!

LOL, you guys with your windows games. Pure joy comes in waiting for a 20 minute load time just so you could hear a digitized Devo song before you play a game.

I actually bought the full versions of Jazz Jackrabbit and One Must Fall 2097 through one of those screens. Also my memory of 3DFX cards is hazy - part of me remembers being super excited to upgrade from a Voodoo3 to a Voodoo5, but I also recall every 3DFX card I ever had to be a buggy piece of poo poo

I had saved up a bunch of money and begged my dad to help me order a nice video card for our PC (can't remember which one sadly, probably like an early Nvidia or ATI Radeon). I even made sure that the motherboard had the right slot to accept the card. I finally convinced him to buy it for me, it arrives, and it turns out it was too long to fit. There was some piece of plastic attached to the opposite side of the video card slot on the motherboard (part of one of the RAM bays or something IIRC) so it wouldn't seat all the way in.  But I said gently caress that and after a bit of sloppy research determined I could probably cut a slot through the plastic wide enough for the videocard could fit through without damaging the RAM or whatever component it was next to. So I used a dremel to painstakingly do that and it worked  minutes later i was owning little bitches in q3building computers was pretty fun whe i was a kid

Mak0rz posted:I had my NES and SNES connected at the same time with their RF switches in serial. I was too afraid to turn them both on at once because I thought they would explode. Now I know nothing damaging would happen, but what would it have done? Would it have made the NES signal interlace with the SNES signal or just give you scrambled garbage? honestly not qualified to know but my guess would be probably a random-ish looking scramble of both with a bunch of weird discoloration to boot

The best was to have 2 accounts, one you actually try to win on and one that you keep at level 2 but give the most expensive gear in the game so that you can kill just about any other player except a higher level one with the same gear. People who were trying to win would kill the dragon and then delevel back to 1 and lose all their gear so even if there was someone you couldn't kill, within a week they were killable again. (You did level 2 because you couldn't attack a lower level player in their room while they slept.)

there was a little local computer shop near my school (this is where i bought deus ex pre-goty in a box) and one time they showed me an AGP video card someone had tried to return where they actually cut the slot bit of the card that inserts into the motherboard down to make it fit in an ISA slot

Such a good game, I spent so many hours playing it, mainly the deathmatch mode against bots (or just driving round exploring the various levels) but I never got far into the story. Really want to try it again now I'm more patient and understanding of game mechanics.

drunk asian neighbor posted:I actually bought the full versions of Jazz Jackrabbit and One Must Fall 2097 through one of those screens. I started with a Diamond Monster card that had a poor man's Voodoo chipset (Banshee, I think it was called). Thing wasn't great, but it was serviceable for my lovely old computer that didn't have more than ISA and PCI slots. A couple of years later I got one of these bad boys:  (pic not mine, which is spooky as gently caress because I also got the exact same monitor as the one pictured just a year after that). Pentium 3 500MHz, a DVD drive, came packaged with Windows 98 SE, and it had an AGP slot! Inside the slot was an ATI Rage (either a Rage Pro or Rage 128, can't remember) and man I could not wait to see what that baby could do so I fired up a couple of games and... everything looked like hot garbage. Colors and textures just didn't render properly and even the text boxes in Final Fantasy VII were hosed up. Thinking back on it I probably just had a junk card, but after days of loving with drivers and fixes and none of it working I gave up on it and managed to snag a Voodoo 3 3000 from a family friend. All of my games looked great since, even if I technically downgraded my hardware.
