  1. Thanks much! That's exactly the CPU. I'll look around accordingly later, first I need to catch some shut-eye. It's after 3am.
  2. Okay I've just been searching around and I've found some good stuff to work with. CPU - Pentium III clocked @ 1.266 GHz (Socket 370) GPU - Nvidia GeForce 3Ti 500 or ATI Radeon 8500 The Ram is causing me confusion because I'm not exactly sure what standard P3 boards used (SDRAM or DDR) or where exactly to find that tbh. Seems like that would be my biggest hurdle atm. This is not final but this seems the performance point I want to aim for. Not too modern yet not too old, a true turn of the century machine that showcases what tech had to offer at that point in time.
  3. I wish you luck! I'm glad more people share my enthusiasm in retro pc gaming.
  4. Interesting. How did games utilize dual-cpus back in the day? I love the idea of the Pentium IIIs though, probably what I'll use because they have the perfect clock speeds for what I want.
  5. Okay, I've got this ridiculous idea that most of you are probably going to think I'm just throwing away money trying to execute. Note that I'm doing it for the experience of owning a cutting edge gaming PC at the turn of the century. I need a few examples for reference, I've already got a pretty good idea what I'm looking for but I wasn't into performance PC building at the time so it would be nice to have something to go off of. Maybe a 3DFX Voodoo (2?) build with an appropriate CPU or something in the ballpark of that. A reference such as this (with part numbers especially) would be indispensable. Anybody knowledgeable on the hardware in this timeframe that can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated. Any special considerations I need to take into account would be splendid as well. Thanks.
  6. If you do it Nintendo will beat down your door with hired mercs and give you to the FBI for questioning about your illegal behavior. Nah jk, nobody gets any kind of legal action directed at them for this sort of thing unless they distribute or sell so you're fine. Everyone does it.
  7. For that money I'd rather buy.. anything really. But hey to each their own.
  8. Because your gaming skills are getting so xtreme you can't control your body's reaction to your kills
  9. If only I could afford this haha. I'm honestly happy with my single R9 270X since I'm using a 720p tv.
