Gaming on (probably) the slowest DX9 integrated graphics with the slowest 64-bit AMD desktop CPU :peace:
The GF6100 was set to run at 200 MHz (DDR1) and use 128 MB of dedicated memory - the highest possible combination on this platform. All screenshots were taken at the lowest in-game resolution and detail settings:

All this XP talk. No Win98 love? :D Away for holiday and when back home will run some more 99max benchmarks to go along with what I posted above. Have more games to install as well. Rather like how the system (post #10,534) turned out. Has to be my fastest booting rig here. Even with the extra Win98 Resource kit boot screen. Short time from on button to frags.

Have got this as a early Christmas present (he was in a rush to leave for vacation) from a friend I worked with several years ago. It's an ASUS X52JC, sporting a i5 430M and a Geforce GT310M 1GB, a 500GB Hitachi HDD out of an HP (evidenced by a HPN string printed ln it), 6GB of DDR3 RAM (came with 4GB ASint), all running Windows 10 Enterprise N 20H1 UEFI.

What's the plan? Are you collecting them?

No, not really. 2 of them I've had for quite awhile. The one on the far left and the center one. The one on the far right, an Aurora, my boss just gave to me a couple of weeks ago. Had the liquid cooler in it but it had sat so long it wouldn't work. Had to put a Hyper 212 EVO in it and ram. Works like a champ though.
Installed a 12 gig triple channel kit and tossed Windows 7 on it. Frigging thing flies. LOL

Learned something while tinkering with my Win7 min spec machine. With an IGP, MS states 64 MB VRAM as the official minimum for Aero Glass UI. Since the BIOS allows me to limit the graphics memory even more, I thought - what if...
I can confirm now that Aero Glass can be used with only 32 MB of VRAM. But would it run on 16? :rolleyes:

WEI_133-16a.jpgWEI_133-16b.jpg

Amazingly, yes. Though only at the lowest desktop resolution of 800x600 :oops: The Windows Experience Index still needs 32 MB to complete.

when back home will run some more 99max benchmarks to go along with what I posted above. Have more games to install as well.
I'd love to see some detailed results. Your Voodoo 4 4500 scored roughly 50% higher than my GF6100 IGP (at full tilt) - even though theoretically it should be slower. Our CPUs are a close match, it would be really interesting to compare.

It's an ASUS X52JC, sporting a i5 430M and a Geforce GT310M 1GB, a 500GB Hitachi HDD, 6GB of DDR3 RAM (came with 4GB ASint), all running Windows 10 Enterprise N 20H1 UEFI.
That's a capable PC already. Planning any more upgrades?

Installed a 12 gig triple channel kit and tossed Windows 7 on it. Frigging thing flies.
Bench it man! :pimp:

Any particular benches and settings you would like me to run? Always fun to do some comparing.
This is generally because there is very little that ran on 95/98/ME that would not also run perfectly on XP.
Indeed. Nice bit of nostalgia for me revisiting Win98 since it's what I cut my teeth on first learning computers. Plus I am running many older arcade style games of the era which don't seem to jive well with XP.
