		Curiously the two temps (socket and case) had each dropped by a degree (to 43 and 28 respectively) by 8AM.

		Perhaps the lower fan speed was more effective at getting the air out of the case. Or your room temp is lower at that time of day. Or Folding is less CPU intensive than Divx encoding. Or perhaps the thermal paste has now been "burned in". Prime95 is the "industry" recognised CPU stressing util. It supposedly gets CPUs hotter than anything else.

dhau, you can use a dos emulator (like dosbox) instead of having a PC just for that.

Except dosbox isn't perfect yet, especially for some later DOS games. Also, it requires a good amount of power for some protected-mode games. Remember, it emulates an entire x86 machine with SB sound and multiple old school video modes. They do have some good frontends for it though, that make it a heck of a lot easier to work with multiple games that may require different settings to run well. Helps some ancient games run at a playable (meaning not 1000x) speed. [/b][/quote]

Use a CVS version and the "dynamic" core will let you play protected-mode games fine (also use opengl or overlay for video). I think the program works well for games until '95.

I had an old laptop for dos games; but after I tried dosbox (and the video & midi enhancements you can get) I have forgotten that old machine.

Now, instead of overclocking the cpu to an 1800+, I am overclocking it to a 2000+. Last but not least, one of the 17" monitors have been replaced with a 21" monitor.

Could be. The first hard drives IBM offered WAY BACK WHEN had a capacity of 10MB. And if you really splurged ($500ish vs $300ish) you could get a whopping 15MB.

[post=89847]Quoted post[/post]

...I had one of those...

Okay so here are my system specs (as they will be in a few days when my new 320 gb drive arrives):

MSI K7D Master-L motherboard

2x AMD Athlon MP 2800+ (Barton Core) CPUs

2x Crucial 1024 pc2700 DDR Ram

Maxtor 80GB Hard drive

Seagate 200GB Hard Drive

Western Digital 320GB Hard Drive

Sony 40x CD-RW CD Burner

NEC 16X DVD+-RW DL DVD Burner

Sapphire Radeon 9800pro 256MB edition Video Card

Hercules Fortissimo III Gamesurround 7.1 Sound Card

2x Viewsonic PerfectFlat A70f Monitors

TTGI 550watt Power Supply

		So yeah, I got some new stuff for my system. Not much of an upgrade but a lot was free. ASUS P4S800D-X (new) 1 gig Kingston PC3200 (2X 512) (new) 128MB Geforce Ti4200 (new, a minor upgrade from my last card, its the same card with just twice the RAM and 8X AGP) P4 2.0Ghz... I now can get it upto 2.77 Ghz as apposed to 2.4 on the last mobo. The rest is basically the same Crappy lil' capture card (maz 320X240) DVD-R+RW 8X burn DVD-rom (junked from old PC, think its 12X) 1 20gig HD (only used for OS) 1 80gig HD 1 200gig HD (both west digi) I still use onboard sound... but it is ok on this system. I'm setting up another computer with some of the old parts.

		msimplay	Jul 9, 2005
		I hate onboard sound especially that crap ac-97 crap I liked it back in the day when onboard sound used to be creative soundblaster.These days since i've bought my audigy i've been so pleased with the sound i just carry it to every pc. I may update to the latest one some time soon but i don't want to because I have linux compatability to think about
