Hh Os + Second Cpu = Ps1, Dos Box?


How come eveyone seems to have a 1.4 ghz athlon that runs like shit? I have a 1ghz duron on one of my pcs that will run N64 and more fine...

I hava an underclocked 1.1 ghz Athlon xp, and systemshock was NOT even playable in dosbox. I got like 2 fps... So that athlon 1.4 does not run like shit.

sounds like it. :) in seriousness i bought one about 8 mnths ago to the best spec i could afford. p4 ht 3.4 ONE 6800 ultra 2 gig ram. Wanted to play everything on mame plus future proof myself as best i could. maybe it was overkill? :D i have barely played anything new on it- games arent the same anymore :unsure: using a bunch of scraps i put together as a secondary comp at the mo, and by the way what was this thread sposed to be about again? :D

Hmm this turned into a "my pe... ehh... puter is bigger than yours!" thread? :)
Okay...
Mine's an athlon64 3000+ on a DFI Lanparty UF NF4 with an XFX GeForce 7800 GTX and 2 512 MB Corsair modules (the ones with leds on top ^_^), powering a 24" dell 1920x1200 widescreen TFT screen... I gotta tell ya, F.E.A.R. looks good on 1600x1200 with nearly all options on max :)
 
TelcoLou, I assume you're joking. You're actually using a series of wooden blocks which rotate, powered by a difference engine, don't you? Though, to be perfectly honest, we all know that your avatar is a picture of you using your primary computer. It really is a nice photograph.

You got me.

Well, I did go to Yale over the summer, and it was necessary to bring a phone, as they don't provide one. Or air conditioning. In any case, I was unique for bringing a 1960s rewired Redline rotary, and I can tell you making long distance calls was hell.

Of course, I also learned to juggle at Yale, which is something I can be proud of until my dying day...

Anyway, while my current computer is nice-ish (roughly 1.5GHz Sempron, 1GB RAM, 2GB swap partition), I've got some crappy ones around.

Good laptop: Er, maybe 533MHz CPU? 192MBRAM (max), 6GB HD. Compaq 1687 I got off a friend for $50, used for Movix2.

i386: Paid $10, missing one side panel, 8MB RAM, Win95, weird CDROM drive (possibly cartridge), supposedly boots though I have yet to see it.

Bad Laptop: Father's old Toshiba, 128kBRAM, Don't know CPU, Runs Win98 (I believe - perhaps 95), and - most famously - display at 640x480 or 800x600, with the caveat that at the higher resolution you can't see the whole damn screen at once - you have to move your mouse to the edge and wait for it to move to see it all. Also, low color resolution - Wetrix looks like crap on the thing. Don't like to use it anymore.

Under normal circumstances, those are bad enough, but you fellows do have me beat.

PsyMaster, people like you make me cry.

You and the guy with the 17 inch SAGER laptop that was about a notch up from yorus in every category but processor.

Though he at least showed myself and many others the Family Guy movie.
 
This is my PC.

I win. :D

I'll call you winner unless someone gets me a shot of their Turing machine, trooper. And I mean the real thing, not some pseudo-turing device. And fully mechanical.
