USB with win 98 is a pain

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

super excited now, i looked up oc'ing this 9600xt and apparently it has a bunch of special tweeks and even material changes to make it oc really well, people are reporting +100mhz on stock cooling and I put probably 10x better cooling on it.

Needs a 3.5 floppy drive in order to be considered a real computer :P

A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist.

The p4s are quite good chips running windows 8 perfectly.

Actually there is a ton of OS's like Minix, FreeDos. BEOS etc. Even something called Plan 9

Retro gaming is a blast and helped when i found myself getting caught up in "upgrade fever"
