what all 3dness

Thought y'all might want to see this. Results from testing at a LAN party held locally, recently.

Just like to note that this was written by Zak so if it looks like crap, blame him. auxois@exp.net edgecru5h3r@aol.com

Well, the forums strip spaces and tabs so this looks really fucked, but you should be able to decipher it.

Okay, I'm editing it to be a little more readable.

Now this would probably make perfect sense if just my head stopped hurting...

errr. the point of this thread would be?

Sometimes I wonder when you get time to actually have sex Kat ;)
Impressive list of tests tho.

So a Pentium II with a Voodoo card is much slower than an AMD with a GeForce3 in it. Brilliant.

DAMN STRAIGHT!

ROFLMFAO

Voodoo5's own. 'nuff said.

Kat, for those of us with uni. deadlines and committments, could you give some sort of a brain-friendly write-up for the likes of Erik and I? Thanks.
And how old are you? If you're a lot older than those pics of you on your site then fine, but if you're not much older then we really shouldn't be asking you about sex...
If I go 1.8Athlon, XP, Voodoo5, assume good mb etc. will that own? Or Pentium? TELL ME PLEASE, IT'S MY HARD EARNED MONEY!

Okay, fine. I'll do a write-up on it. Give me a few hours. I'm at work again, by the way. (I tend to do that every day)

Oh, I'm 19. But those pictures of me on my site are recent. ^_^ The one of me in the red shirt is from like last week.

Never! You're older than me?
/startled :~
you work every day, AND write impressive Doom-related stories, AND do LAN tests, AND keep up with the forums...
They're right, when do you have time for sex? :)

Gyeh. I don't, anymore. ::sniffle::

that's truly terrible!

/weeps endlessly...

Imagine life without sex, pepperoni pizza and Doom...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that better?

Much, thank you.

Oh, it's a miracle, I can see!

NO CYRIX? NO TRIDENT VIDEO CARD? JESUS, HOW CAN I AFFORD THESE TYPES OF GAMING SYSTEMS WHEN I WORK PART TIME AT THE FLYING J?!

Is that better?

well the list is, but the weeping endlessly didn't help (see above if you've forgotten)

/goes off to finally do some work...

That must've been fun. Hey, a G550 :P

G550 has a good picture on it but it's really slow. That headcasting thing is just freaky-lookin', too. Kinda scary.

What's up with this thread's name, by the way? WTF?!?

Heh, you can't edit posts without words like "the", "and", "a", "with", "or", etc. or quoted words getting removed from the titles.

I think it's because those are database commands and since the forum software sucks, it removes "commands" like those from the message titles on the forum indexes. You can still see the proper title above the actual post though.
