    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    Sure it beat some of the old cards when it came out, but it was quickly outdated. Plus while it worked good on the openGL shooters, that was about all it was good at. If you didnt play shooters it didnt do much for you. Geforce 2 was an all around better card.

    Dell Precision 7740 with i9-9980HK running RAM at 3200?

    Larger ram sticks are hard to run at their full speed in systems, you are very dependant on your cpus memory controller. Sounds like your cpu is just unable to handle those 32 GB sticks at full speed, or with the extra old sticks. You may want to see if there is a bios update, as those can...

    Remembering the Nvidia GeForce 256 – the first PC gaming GPU

    I have my 2 geforce 256's, a SDR and DDR model. Neither seemed that great at the time, and were not supported for very long. Now my geforce 2's got used a lot, and I have them in several of my retro systems. Much better and a more useful card.

    Blizzard has released Warcraft-Warcraft II and Diablo on Battle.net

    Pretty much, you cant do anything online or multiplayer. The game lost years of custom maps and scenarios along with clans when they decided to get rid of the old game.

    Blizzard has released Warcraft-Warcraft II and Diablo on Battle.net

    You can play the original one, but if you try to take it online to play multiplayer it auto updates to the reforged edition. It can only be used as a single player game offline.

    Why is high speed ddr4 ram so hard to find now? Kinda

    They stopped focusing on DDR4, so all the tesing and binning they did for it stopped. They are only worried about higher speeds on DDR5.

    What do you do with very small SSD or NVMe drives?

    People also use those small SSD drives in retro computers since most cant handle too large of a drive. Plus it is a speed up from old spinning rust.

    Build Issues

    I have a similar set of corsair sticks but mine are 3466. Everyone at the time said that they would go to 3600 no problem, but I could never get them to run at anything over 3466. More voltage, nope, looser timings, nope, they would not go any higher and it would lock up trying to post. At...

    Some Microsoft hardware is coming back

    I used that heyboard from 1998 until 2016, and only reason I stopped using it was my sick cat threw up a bunch of liquid on it and it was never the same again. I completely took it apart and cleaned it, but several keys never worked again and I ended up having to replace it with a corsair keyboard.
