Great pics Steve, I've been looking at getting one of these for a few weeks for an Amiga (plain RGB (or otherwise)) but I'm confused about 600/800 lines/best dimensions/connections.... Can you offer any nuggets of wisdom on this one? :help:Quote:

got my hands on a oem dell 7570 pulled from a computer.
thats 1gb gddr5 quite happy to report that i am able to run the game on the automatic "low setting" and did not have to resort to setting it to "lowest"
The bad news however is that i finished the main story yesterday on my gaming pc, which means i wont really be playing thief on this one now any way lol.. But atleast its there if i need it.
my 8400Gs scored 3.9 in windows score. and rendered the game quite unplayable even at lowest setting.
i am attaching my current windows score as my image regarding the card.
as you can see the gpu is now the fastest part of the setup lol.
(windows 7 x64)
the only reall issue with the card is that it is oem and as such the drivers are almost non existant, and the only drivers are from dell and there is only the 1, they never made an update.
but if i feel like it i can edit the ini file from amd drivers to add the hardware id of the card. or reflash the bios changing the hardware id to a 7570 card that is supported by amd officially. but im not sure if they support gddr5 then.

I got these today:
An arcade joystick and two buttons. :)
What's your plans for them? Amiga Joystick?Quote:

Which I will use to hook up stuff that has RGB-Scart like my Neo Geo MVS/Spectrum's/Amiga's/Jaguar/etc :)
Practically an Atari compatible joystick. Did Amiga support two separate buttons? MSX does, if I remember correctly. Have to think about the possibility for one/two nutton operation.Quote:

Here's a couple of things I got recently. :D
http://reeseriverson.com/rriverson/p...743-2000px.jpg
The Gateway has an EISA board, with an SCSI controller feeding two harddrives, a 340MB Maxtor and a 540MB Fujitsu, then of course the NEC CD-ROM. (Sadly it didn't come with a caddy.) The system came with 32MB of RAM, and a Intel Overdrive 100MHz chip in the upgrade socket. Also a Tseng Labs ET4000AX ISA video card, with 1meg of memory.
The Computer above, which I was told is a 386, but I am not fully sure on that, but I know it has a 66MHz IBM processor and a Cyrix FPU Co-Processor, 6MB RAM, two IDE harddrives, a 85MB and a 200-something MB. An 8-bit SCSI controller that doesn't feed any internal components, has an external port. Then a SoundBlaster 16 that connects the CD-ROM drive to the system. :D
one of these perhaps

(tho, i suppose if it were running an IBM 486DLC2-66 it could still be classed as a '386')
Here's the board:
