    Just for fun: 3DMark 2001SE

    I don't think any of these synthetic benchmarks are to be taken serious, this was more just for fun.

    Just for fun: 3DMark 2001SE

    Thats quite interesting. I wonder if its just a limitation of the software itself?

    Just for fun: 3DMark 2001SE

    I just think its neat to see how far Integrated graphics have come since then.

    Just for fun: 3DMark 2001SE

    So just for fun, I decided to play around with 3DMark2001SE on some modern hardware. This is not my main system but it's one I built for retro-gaming (mid 90s to 2000s). It does very well for what it is. Its an Intel 11th Gen Nuc. Specs: Intel i5 1135G7 @ 2.4Ghz (Boost 4.2ghz) 32gb Crucial...

    Why is this no longer popular?

    I loved Delta fans back in the day. I was they guy no one liked to sit next to at LAN Parties. I had one setup that had 4xDelta 80mm, 1xDelta 120mm and 1xDelta 92mm for the CPU. All of it was cooling a P4 2.8C @ 3.6ghz, 2gb DDR400 and Radeon 9800XT.

    Those were fun times in those days. Always looking for the best budget overclocker. Whether it was a cheap CPU or mid-range GPU. Good times.

    Why is this no longer popular?

    Back in the day I had a Duron [email protected] Phase Change Cooled. It was on an Epox 8K3A+ with 512mb Samsung DDR333 and a Radeon 9700 Pro. I wish I could find pictures of the setup. That PC was a beast and so much fun to tinker with.

    I try to not follow the news to not get agitated, so I'm not sure how things are in a general sense. But you can feel Spring in the air, so that's nice. I'm tinkering with my electronic toys, so - happy.
    Spring is a great time. Love being outside during this season. Wife and I are taking our girls to the family ranch in 2 weeks for some time away from everything. Small town living for a few days.

    Bump for a good price! If I didn't already have a 1080Ti put back for a backup I would be on it. :)

    So my aunt (60ish) was over last night for NYE and on the way out she caught the ditch on the other side of the road (country road, large ditches) She has a new ford escape. Last night I tried to yank it out with my truck but, in the dark, couldnt find a place to hook up my tow rope to. Tried to go around the wheel and yank but it snapped the tow rope. From what I am reading there may be NO recovery point on new escapes....WTF

    Yeah, I already have GamePass Ultimate. :) I like the consistent frame rate in the games and how fast things load. Overall pleased .

    Xbox series X

    I finally got around to picking up a Series X this past weekend. Paid $250 new due to a pricing error on Amazon's part. :) Anyhow, I am quite pleased with it and have myself addicted to Destiny 2 again. LOL

    Thanks for the notes. I was assuming I'd just avoid it, but sounds like you had the same opinion of Crystal Skull.
    Friend and I went to the theatre to watch Crystal Skull when it released. Despite the theatre serving alcohol, it still couldn't make us enjoy the movie. Dial of Destiny is much better but it does lack some of that original magic the trilogy gave us growing up. The girl in DoD, just wasn't a good character. I found her annoying and a hindrance to Indy. The little puzzle solving that was there or lack thereof was OK. I would have liked to seen more like in Last Crusade. Otherwise it was still a decent film.

    I still have not seen the newest Indi...errr, Harrison Ford movie.
    I finally got around to watching it. I kinda liked it. Its nothing like the original trilogy but its WAAAAY better than Crystal Skull. My biggest complaint was the girl and the lack of puzzle solving.

    Over-rated movie
    Do they even allow movies in the Prison Colony?

    That's what scares me. I say lots of things in real life. My wife is scared of what may come out of my mouth. Unrestrained me may attract unwanted federal attention.
    Do what I want and say what I want. Being scared, let's those who wish to censor you keep you quiet.

    Technically, I just booed you. No need to make people think I'm using intimidation tactics.

    Here in TX, Whataburger is the staple fast food burger. Which is fine, I like what they have. But I sure do miss an old school drive-in burger place.....and I don't mean Sonic. They trash.
