Heh, at my old job, we had a celery 300a at 464. My p3667 is still chuggin' along at 700, and everytime I go visit my parents, I itch to oc my dad's Celery 900.-------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

Fondly remember ??? Hell Outtie, those were the quintessenal days of the Q2/Q3 "community". I got started overclocking just to wring a few more fps out of timedemo 1 ... just like the rest of you guys. All the talk here was about guns, maps and how far you could push the FSB on an Abit BH6.Yeah, I still have that processor. It's collecting dust along with MY 366 ... and probably a 500. The BH6, BM6 and Soyo 6VCA are probably all in some landfill though. Ah yessssssss ..... those were the days indeed. -------------------- No Sig

Yeah, after reading the reviews of how nVidia gets humiliated by the 9700, something inside of me wants to go pop $322 at newegg.com so I can witness it firsthand.Then I think "Shit, the Ti4600 absolutely handles everything thrown at it, What's the BFD ?" That Radeon will become a bit more justifiable when the DOOM 4 engine is out. We'll probably be talking well under $300 by then, not to mention a Geforce5 / NV30 chipset by then. The friggin' game never ends ... -------------------- No Sig

I remember the old days. I remember lots of long ICQ convos with many people here discussing the intricacies of overclocking the Celeron 300A on a BH6 motherboard.I still have my old BH6 motherboard, it is currently running a Celeron 1GHz CPU @ 1.12GHz in my server computer. The old 300A is sitting on my table unused now. I also remember quite well, the zillions of Q2 timedemos i've done testing over and over every little tweak to the system and config files for the game. I should see if I can find those benchmarks I did of Q2 in my current computer. IIRC, 1600x1200x32 netted over 100fps in the crusher timedemo. I was the 'big' intel pusher back then, funny now how my main computer is running an AMD Athlon T-Bird. I'm still running with nVidia though, havent left them since my original Creative TNT card. Funny how since that card, i've only had two others. The Guillemot Maxigamer TNT-2 Ultra that still resides in my server computer, and the Asus V7700 Deluxe GeForce2 GTS that is in my main computer (in no need of upgrade right now either). I'm no longer part of the big upgrade cycle. Hell, my main computer has remained unchanged now in over a year, with the exception of the scanner (which doesnt count), and I see no need for upgrading it any time soon. -------------------- ojisan says: Wisdom reaches only as far as your mind allows it.

Heh. . . I've got a 333a sitting in my desk, I use it as a wax scraper for my skis (it was fried before that).Aaah. . . q2 takes me back. . . I still remember playing CTF till I got nauseous. Was too far away to play on Hammertown, but I'd heard of it. I've had my current box for 2 years, and I'm ITCHING for an upgrade. I'm torn between going latest and greatest P4 or the Athlon, I may go Intel again cause AMD has sorta become stagnated and the Hammer won't be out for quite a while. If I upgrade sooner rather than later, I'm going to go Radeon, FOR SURE!!! -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.

It's getting to be just what we were warned about. I've a Ti4600, and just reinstalled Q2. It looks pretty good, probably a little better than when I was using a Geforce2 DDR, but not eath-shakingly better.However, up the ante with SOF2 and there's a helluva difference in the eye-candy between the Ti4600 in my #1 cptr and the Geforce3 Ti500 in my #2. The moral is that these cards pretty well out strip, or aren't challenged by most of the games out lately. Will Warcraft2 look better on a Radeon 9700 than a Geforce4 Ti4600 ? I doubt it ... it's maxed out and "as good as it gets" on either -------------------- No Sig

Well, I am doing Unix programming and support for the largest credit card processor in the country now, and still live in Tampa. Got a nice house on the river, a fiance that I am head over heels in love with, etc. etc.I am building a new website currently for my other hobby, the SCA. I somehow got ahold of www.scadian.org so I will be building a large informational site and message boards, similiar to this one. Should be a lot of fun. O -------------------- ==============

heh. I miss odd mod thursday. Jailbreak kicked ass. And 400 ping railing on the q3test. Those were the days...Me, I'm starting as a junior toward a BS in physics at UCSB in January after finally getting my AA over the summer (took it slow. If you recall, that summer of quake2.com was between high school and college for me, and rather than just cramming all my general ed stuff, I was... exploring majors  ) I'm still driving the green beast, and it's always awaiting repairs. Other than that, I've just been kicking back enjoying what socal has to offer: great weather, laid back atmosphere, and millions of beatiful women just waiting to turn me down. Oh, and I've lost some weight. About 85 pounds since the beginning of 2001. [ 10-05-2002: Message edited by: WillyTrombone ] -------------------- signature
