![]() ![]() I got it with a motherboard a Athlon cpu (which I upgraded to the FX8350) and another Radeon HD 6770 (hence the crossfire). This PC was more or less in parts thrown in my lap when I was shopping for a powersupply when the one from the Phenom went bad. I don't use it much, mostly during cold winterdays when my livingroom gets too cold to live in. This PC was my daily driver until 8 years ago when I got my current daily driver.įurther more I have a spare PC that has an AMD FX8350 and a Radeon RX 570 4gb. Maybe one day I might scavenge a Soundblaster card so I can have me some proper EAX. I have one unused AMD rig with a 4 core Phenom and 2x in crossfire Radeon HD 6770, maybe I repurpose it to a WinXP machine someday but in all honesty I find liitle use for an XP machine appart from getting some Starforce DRM'ed games to work. Gameplaywise Mace Griffin is fun but nothing special, the seamless transition from FPS to spacesimulator however is nice though. It also has an amazingly good soundtrack. Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (no idea what this is yet)Ī bit sad how underappreciated this game is as I quite liked it, wel at least more than Halo which is from the same period but I found Halo to be boring. I realised I have quite a mix of AMD and Intel boards (plus 1 fully VIA board).ĭoes your collection tend to be more intel or AMD based? Both AMD boards with USB issues used Nvidia chipsets coincidentally.Īnyway I considered my Pentium 4 build but couldn't get up the enthusiasm to do a fully IDE build and threw a big sulk and I haven't played anything at all this evening. Then I moved onto a Socket 939 Athlon 3200+ which was going fine (and nice and quiet using the same modern cooler as the AM2 system, weirdly) but had a very not intermittent USB problem where no usb ports or front panel usb ports would work once I installed various chipset drivers. I then went for an AM2 Athlon II x3 board but this was really quite loud and hot and has a weird intermittent USB issue, so that build was canned to. My usual go-to M-ATX 775 and E8500 combo sadly has died (this is the very first "retro" motherboard I bought, so F in chat for this board). Today I tried building a basic XP PC for a few games I wanted to play: Rise of Nations, Halo, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (no idea what this is yet), Empire Earth 2.
