I feel nostalgia watching your videos, it's like good old gameplays where creator makes multiple parts of one gameplay series, but instead gameplays you do PC related videos

12:52 - You need SLI to be able to do 1024x768!!!

I still have one of these cases in use and I love it!

I remember running Linux on a Dual Slot Pentium 3, and being excited when my distribution published an SMP kernel. I was dual booting with Windows 2000. That thing could hold its own well enough against the single socket P3s. I ran a single socket system for a short time thereafter, and the system stalling under load mad me wish for the old dual P3 back. Lower FPS, but a more responsive system overall. At least until the Core 2 Duo came along.

You’re only getting 800x600 in Unreal because that’s the maximum resolution a Voodoo 2 can do. The Voodoo 1 is restricted to only 640x480.

I think you can enable 1024x768 when running in SLI, though I could be wrong, it’s been a long time.

I had video cards if you want them they get connected together so perfect for a vintage dual setup

Like 100. !!!
I can tell Everyone at my 25-year High School Reunion!!!
Nice Job Sir!, I had a Gateway Tower with Dual PIII's running Suse 9, and I thought I was Awesome! lol
Incredibly Outdated, but best Garbage Picked system I ever found up until 2004

I had one dual P3 board, an Asus one, CUV4X DLS. Ut was a nightamare because chipset drives does not help to improve anything.

I was able to run some ahead of time games like Fallout 3 but the many otjer constraints of the system really impact on performance. Miss that board though...

Nice. I love the dual P3 . And getting it all sorted out is the fun? part..  lol.  But in the end it's a 2ghz  2 core rig.  A 2 core duo with a 512 mb pcie card would run so much better.  But where is the fun in that build..

Interesting. 17:20 - With 2 Voodoo 2's in SLI it should get between 70-80 fps in 800x600.

Beware that Voodoo2 cards were not designed to run with 1000 MHz CPUs and will overheat. This is not good for hardware preservation. You should mount a fan over them to keep them cool. Alternatively, underclock them so they run slower than stock. I have one of mine running at 75 MHz instead of default 93 because of this. (Use the Voodoo 2 Tweaker tool for this.)

i would try to get a PCI-X gpu instead of a PCI gpu

Part of me wonders what the oldest, most balls to the wall insane specced build could still run serviceably today. Like, what's the oldest platform that could be upgraded to the max to be a usable windows 11 PC?

Did anything back in the day use 2 CPUs? Outside of pro applications, that is. I would've loved to have a system like this back in the day. I had a copy of Softimage that I played around with a little, and I think it could use 2 CPUs.

Kind of a weird era. Not really fast enough for XP, dual socket 370 really was purely for professionals, cad, and servers for the most part on nt and 2k. Cool project though! No one said you had to use both the CPU's though you could do 98se.

voodoo 2 can only do 800x600 at 16 bit , do you perhaps have 8 megabyte versions of that gpu? i don't remember if 12mb can run 1024  but there wasn't much improvement from doubling the voodoos in your system which is instresting

funny coz none of the software knows how to use dual cpus including the os, should of tried at least windows xp, could be a good try for part 4...
