Wheee! I found a surprise...an old friend in a box!

digitalwanderer · Mar 12, 2003, 08:02 PM

So my friend dropped off an old PII300 box of his for me to get up and running as a kid's pc for him, and when I open it up what do I find inside?

My faithful old 32MB Rage Fury (non-Pro)!!!.

I'm so excited/happy I'm thinking of tearing the GF3 out of Bubbles and benchig the rage128 just for giggles, I couldn't remember what I'd done with it!

No way in hell it'll be going back, just no way. That's the card I cut me geekteeth on!

101 points in 3dmark 2003 it should score

you said 101... don't you mean .101

I know that one of my laptops scores 1 3dmark, another scores 32.

I had one of those - After my PCI S3 Savage 4 (really a sideways step, but the Savage was only 8Mb and things complained), but before the Geforce 2MX.

Can't remember what 3Dmark 2001 rated it as... 800 or so seems to ring a bell

According to Rage underground's tweaker, it ran at 80/120 - but I could give it 100/150 and test reliably

The 8006 leaked driver, I presume?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Nah..the 6292 set. I actually had to dig out my original install disk just to get the damned box to boot into win95 for me.

Don't worry, I just yanked the HD and am transplanting me Dad's HD in from his dead Acer. I figure I'll set this up to take the time pressure off of me for building him another one....between the two I should be able to manage something that works and is decent by tomorrow.

sorry, the laptop doesn't have internet access only my main pc is online. Ill just tell you how the benckmarks looked: wings of fury .3 fps, the rest didn't run.

6292? - last of the DX7 sets?

Does it work better than the DX8 driver sets on that card? - since the hardware itself is probably DX6 at most.

ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. I have this beast of a notebook... Don't be envious, it's not mine

If I find the time I will run the benchmark. I expect far better than a 2 digit score
