> >no its not a joke. FYI, doom cannot achieve and maintain its max FPS >unless its running on a Pentium. just like any other modern game. Well, no. Quake needs to be on a PII(Pro) or a 3D accelerator to achieve and maintain 30fps, mostly. Doom can manage it happily on a P75 with a bog-standard graphics card. Can Quake set and maintain a very acceptable (27fps) framerate on a 5x86/133? No. It gets about 9fps. It's inevitable Doom runs _better_ on Pentiums, but you can't deny that the engine is now old (if infinitely less annoying) technology which was designed for low-range 486's (which cost, at its first release, about $2000.) >as for quality...wordperfect 1.0 never crashed in my experience. >MSoffice, on the other hand, crashed during setup. do you want to >rephrase your statement? If they were both fully installed, which would you use to make that vital presentation? :). -- Adam Williamson Real Mail: adam "at" scss.demon.co.uk 88.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.
