Bigeye #19: The Fastest AT Computer
June 13, 2020 - Okay, so this might not truly be the fastest AT computer ever, but it's definitely up there. I could install a 1.4GHz Pentium III here, but that would require overclocking the 440BX's FSB to 133MHz,...

Bigeye #0: Embrace Modernity?
October 11, 2020 - Come back to reality... not the reality of 1996, but the reality of NOW. Any struggles to run Quake above 60 FPS basically became nonexistent even for a budget system from 2002. The struggle...

Bigeye #20: A Crippled Voodoo5
June 13, 2020 - If you really want a configuration that nobody would even consider in a practical setup, try putting a Voodoo5 in a system with a 75MHz Pentium. It's gotta be the PCI variant, too, because Socket 7...

Bigeye #21: Some Pentium 4 machine
June 13, 2020 - Well, it runs fast... but at what cost? Something went horribly wrong along the way in CPU development. Rather than taking their time adding further refinements to the efficient Pentium III design,...

Bigeye #22: Pentium Overdrive
June 14, 2020 - For the Episode 4 maps, I started doing voice commentary and had some people watch as it happened.

Spiritually Connected October '98 Promo

Welcome Back to 1998
November 07, 2015 - I found a Video8 tape in the oven a few nights ago. It dates back to 1998, and appears to feature the very same WinBook XL laptop I have in possession now. I only guess it's the same one because this...

Bigeye #23: Passive Matrix Laptop
June 14, 2020 - Playing Quake on a passive matrix display is the worst idea ever.

Bigeye #24: Pentium II, 8MB RAM
June 14, 2020 - Here's a very strange anomaly: a Pentium II with only 8MB of EDO RAM, just enough to run Windows 95 and Quake alright.

SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (no name ?!) GETS THE NEW VIDEO CARD
January 30, 2018 (CC) - THIS IS MY NEW VOODOO3 CARD IN ACTION RECORDED TO THE VHS TAPE FROM THE VGA TO TV CONVERSION KIT (NOTE I DON'T HAVE THE VOOODOOO TV MODEL) HERE YOU WILL SEE SUPER FAST PACED GAMING ACTION AT SUPER...

Bigeye #25: K6-2 on 430TX
June 17, 2020 - Yes, you can run a 500MHz AMD K6-2 on a classic Socket 7 motherboard, although this one is overclocked from 450MHz. Be careful, though. Your motherboard needs to support 2.2V CPUs, and that is...

egg
February 27, 2018 (CC) - Due to unsatisfactory effects after consumption, Davis Brandon shortly gave up and went back to WcDonaldland to sleep in the ball pit after hours.

Bigeye #26: 1999 CPU, 1989 Video Card
June 17, 2020 - If it is possible, it must be done. A VGA card from 1989 is operating in a computer with 1999-esque specifications.

FEBRUARY 2, 1996 DOWNLOAD THE FUNNY MOVIE.AVI
July 20, 2018 (CC) - I VISIT JIM'S SITE EVERY DAY AND I HAVE BEES IN MY SANDWICH AND I SEND EMAILS AND I PLAY DOOM BUT MOST OF ALL I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW FUNNY THIS 8 MEGABYTE VIDEO TURNS OUT TO BE

Bigeye #27: Windows 95D on 1GB of RAM
June 17, 2020 - Until recently, it hasn't been possible to run Windows 95 with 1GB of RAM, unless you did the old trick in SYSTEM.INI where you would limit the MaxPhysPage and MaxFileCache values to 512MB of RAM....

Bigeye Extra: The First Xeon
October 09, 2020 - Here is one of the earliest Xeon CPUs, something intended for heavy duty scalable workloads but can be used like any regular desktop regardless.

10/4/1997: Basifuk Returns from Further Into the Past
March 19, 2016 (CC) - When I planned to make another burger and fries, I found the same tape mysteriously appear in the oven... just the same way I first saw it. Would you know it, there's some more footage added to the...

Bigeye #28: Dual Pentium II
June 17, 2020 - While Quake does not use symmetric multiprocessing, I did get an installation of Windows NT 4.0 running on here that can make use of the two 450MHz Pentium II CPUs. Perhaps they might be of use if...

Bigeye #29: Broken LCD
June 17, 2020 - This is just your ordinary Pentium II laptop, except for the fact that it has a broken screen. Quite a disappointment, but it's still possible to play Quake on it! In fact, for a screen in this state,...

Bigeye #30: Am386 DX-40!!!
August 30, 2022 - Yes, this is a brand new rerecording. Why? Well, for one, I figured it would be much better to give you the raw deal of what it's like to play this game on a 386 without any spices added, and...
