Thread: New PC Build - PICS!

yup. I have a pair of zip 100 internal drives, a SCSI DAT drive. SCSI Plexwriter 8x drive... all sorts of useless crap. Not even sure why I hung on to it.

Had a rough day getting the SLI setup to work properly. I ended up having to take everything out, clean up the drivers, and reinstall from scratch. I finally got SLI running pretty well. Need for Speed High Stakes runs remarkably well for being on a Pentium 233 CPU.

Having some issues getting Unreal to work properly. It just may not like the monitor it is running on. I may need to get a CRT (yuck).

Reformatted the P233 box, that I am naming "Retro 2". I was having some random crashes, so I ran a deep scan on the hard drive, and was getting all sorts of errors. I ordered a 20GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM drive from eBay, and the drive passed all diagnostics and had the OS installed on it Wednesday. I didn't have much time to work on anything this week, but overall, the system seems a bit more stable.

I finally put in a 3.5" floppy drive as well, although I am not exactly dying to play any of the games I have on floppy... Except for maybe Falcon. More to come on this project, but I am slowing down a bit. It is supposed to be a hobby, and not an obsession. I spent a lot of time on it over the past few weeks and I don't want to get burned out.
