February 24, 201510 yr @frag: some nice ideas but PCMark 2005 is crap to me >_< I think it can be quite cool to run dual PIII-S with DDR, HD3850, SSD or ACARD =)
February 24, 201510 yr sure but i hate that benchmark. i´ll only get a tennis elbow from maltreating the mouse isn´t there a other benchmark that will measuring all components except the mouse? whats about 3d mark 06 on pentium III? the very best paltform for it will be dual-PIII-S and best gpu the HD3850 AGP, right?
February 24, 201510 yr Crew sure but i hate that benchmark. i´ll only get a tennis elbow from maltreating the mouse You have to move the mouse in the corner of your screen so your mouse pointer dont interfere the moving windows. It was actually never about moving the mouse as fast as you can. I try to imagine a PCMark05 Pro see someone benching and thus moving his mous rediculous fast and wonder: "Should I tell him? Oh no its just to funny..." Anyway, Cinebench 2003 was a good idea in TeamCup. Why not also for Pentium III? Only downside is that there are no hardware points enabled for this one. some more name proposal: Vintage Hardware Festival Series
February 24, 201510 yr in that case i´m glad i´ve never run a pcm05 after i was told the mouse-movement is important to the result. since than the 05 was absolute ridiculous to me. Vintage Hardware Festival Series whats about vintage hardware series w/o festival? VHS
February 25, 201510 yr Some of my friends (here in my drawer) dont even support SSE So , lets have an extra stage ... MMX smackdown :battle: Will this be a case match?
February 25, 201510 yr pft, you young guys with your modern stuff like MMX. this is for oldschool! 486DX4-100 vs. pentium 90! :battle: is there any benchmark for a tseng ET6000? Edited February 25, 201510 yr by Luebke
February 25, 201510 yr Author Crew I've got an ET6000 too IIRC. How about FPU smackdown for some real hardcore? Compute Super pi 32M without an FPU, that should be really brutal.
February 25, 201510 yr 486DX4, when your first run is your last run as well as your sandbag run. in that case u could post your sandbag-results weeks before stage closed because there isn´t enough time to beat that time with a 486 super pi on 486 and aquamark on riva 128 would really be hardcore because only one run lasts weeks or months oh it´s faster than i tought. even a 386 @ 16 mhz needs less than a month for a 1M: http://hwbot.org/submission/2133058_drswizz_superpi___1m_386sx_16_25days_20h_31min_23sec_647ms there should be wr-points for results like that. it´s harder to make such a result than just cooling a devils canyon with ln2 und let it run a few seconds especially when super pi after 3 weeks says "not exact in round" the wr for longest lasting 1m run...

February 25, 201510 yr as slow as a 486DX4-100? Compute Super pi 32M without an FPU, that should be really brutal. i only have a 387 fpu but 487 fpus will own that challange edit: oh without. sry i read "with" first time without might be interesting, too. i have a 486SX 25. but best would be a 486SX-2 50, right?

AMD produced SX2-66. But the best should be UMC 40 MHz (esp. at 50 MHz), they are all without FPU but in integer ops they are much faster than regular DX/SX. Isn't it offtopic?
February 26, 201510 yr not if it becomes a stage in the old-school-battle @GENiEBEN: good idea, but i´m not shure wich benchmark will run on it
March 3, 201510 yr Woow great idea! All good things hear! I think that the most important thing is to select old hardware but easy to find! Because the most important things is to increase old school's benchmarks! This is only my idea! Anyway I'm looking forward it!
March 30, 201510 yr Looks like there.s even less competition in old sockets then there is for mobile sockets. Time for ebay/dumpster bin
