Also the ISA form too. any help is good You're still on 3.1? BIG respect! I don't know how you've managed... I'm not sure you can, but try download.com and try a search. Not as good a site as it was in the old days but still worth a look. 0 Share this post Link to post

Stupidity cannot be concealed 11 or 12 would be enough for one store, not a chain... *sigh* 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 9, 2001 12 machines? Wow, your very own rendering farm. Ok, I guess most of them are 486s and shit anyway... At least you can have LAN parties whenever you want. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted December 9, 2001 Ok, I guess most of them are 486s and shit anyway...The majority, yes.At least you can have LAN parties whenever you want.With just two monitors? :P Besides, what would we play anyways, Warcraft 1? 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted December 9, 2001 With just two monitors? :P Fuck, I have more than 2 monitors. Of course one of them only displays green, so I guess that doesn't count. Besides, what would we play anyways, Warcraft 1? YES 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted December 9, 2001 Besides, what would we play anyways, Warcraft 1?YESHeh, well, I suppose Warcraft 2 *might* run decently on the 486's. I've never tried it though. I still have about 40 or 50 maps I made specifically for multiplayer on a disk somewhere. The reason WC1 was a pain was because you could only move 4 characters at a time. WC2 had 9 which was a significant improvement, but still a pain when you're leading an all-out assault on somebody's town. Lords of the Realm 2 was good in that respect, although I didn't care for it's gameplay that much. 0 Share this post Link to post
EllipsusD Posted December 9, 2001 12 machines? Wow, your very own rendering farm. Ok, I guess most of them are 486s and shit anyway... At least you can have LAN parties whenever you want. I'm not fully "here" right now, so excuse me if this is a stupid idea. I'm sure somebody is already doing this, but I haven't heard about it so: why not set the LAN up like an arcade? I'm sure you could get the game companies involved to agree for a moderate royalty. Basically set up several games on your systems and have it set up so people pay to play against each other. It wouldn't work to well with the older machines you have, but still. Not too bad, is it? 0 Share this post Link to post

Katarhyne Posted December 10, 2001 I could make my own renderfarm. Shit, half my machines are faster than SGI workstations anyway; all I'd need are a few PURE renderers. 17 computers. ^-^ Golly I'm in a bitchy mood this morning. I'm going to bed. Maybe I'll be less bitchy after I get some rest. On a side note, don't you hate when you open like 32 forum threads and then click "Post Reply" on all of them and then totally forget what you were going to say? Gyeh. I hate that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Searcher Posted December 10, 2001 You can get your drivers from Creative.com Esoniq is one of their products, or they use creative chips. This is where I had to get mine for an old system I built. 0 Share this post Link to post
