-Yes I would love to get together with other upstate (or downstate)
Peg users.
-currently I boot from my IDE, as I have just recently aquired
the scsi setup. I currently have my IDE dvd and HD on the same
channel to avoid the old lockup bug ( Once i get the update that will
change.) I added the scsi simply out of personal preference. I will
have to do a speed comparison.
-I currently still use the Vodoo3 because the Vodoo 5500 drivers
are not fully ready, to use the card you must use the Vodoo 4 driver
and set everything up manually. but since most of what I do is 2D the
vodoo3 works fine for now.
-I have played Quake I, and the system performs fine( i'll hav to
check the fps). I do not own quake II. but, I'll bet QII would
perform much better on the Vodoo5500
by the way I have been running my PegII g4 using DNETC 24/6
since feb 11th, it is a solid piece of hardware, as i have had no
lockups or other problems. It is only off about 12 hours a week! and
the only times I reboot is when some errant non/mos compatible app
hits trance hard. but that is getting less often as I now only use
stuff I know works.
later,
