Crusader No Remorse Crusader No Regret Origin games to which leileilol alluded. Ultima VIII is probably on this list, also?

Re: best windows 7 "retro" laptop

If it were me, I'd make sure my "retro" Windows 7 machine (or laptop) supports PhysX - and that means an Nvidia GPU. Unless you can live without all candy enabled (or unavailable), the Batman Arkham games, for example, run horribly slow; often sub-30fps. Sacred 2 is another one. Any beefy Dell …

This doesn't answer your question, but I use Notepad++ instead of muddling through notepad's shortcomings. 5.9.8 is the last supported version for 9x. https://web.archive.org/web/20200219083430/ht … tory/5.x/5.9.8/

I found when C1 Halt State is disabled, the CPU is inventoried incorrectly no matter the utility or program in this setup. v1.89 of CPU-Z is the last version to work under 9x of which I am aware. However, when C1 is enabled, HWINFO can detail the FSB and CPU speed properly - I used the latest v7.66. …

Save your money. The point of that video is older drivers for older cards. Stick with what you have - you have one of the fastest, most compatible 9x/DOS cards, and it's a still a great value (even with prices double what they were about a year or two ago). Stick with driver version 45.23 or one/two …

'Shadow of the Tomb Raider' has now been completed, 100% (excluding achievements, which I don't prioritize.). A pretty good series, combat is far and away more interesting and fun than it has ever been. Similar to my enjoyment of the military encounters in 'Half-Life,' I really liked these sections. …

What speed Pentium 4 (or AMD) would be able to push the GeForce Ti 4200 to the max? It looks like the Pentium 4's start at 1.5 GHz? Any Pentium 4. You won't be running at 640x480, so once you start running things at 1024x768 + AA and AF, the Ti4200 will become the bottleneck. For Games like Quake, …
