    great work Slevin, coming up with the video, brought back many memories of playing the game with friends all around laughing at the quotes.

    I forgot about this one "hate to kick my own ass, but it's gotta be done"

    Sometimes measuring the bottleneck can be interpreted in so many ways. The only Thing ATI can render better then Nvidia is BSoD.

    you may be able to find flash versions of these games. I remember the days where it would take 5 or 6 floppy disks to install some of these games...those were the days.

    Get this: my grandma the other day brought me an old Monopoly game for the PC. Guess what format is was on: not 3 and half. The game was on a series of 4 5 and a quarter inch disks... o_O I want a 5 1/4 drive so bad now...

    You probably wouldn't be able to play the game without some kind of an emulator. Processors nowadays run too fast for older programs like that. I had the same issue when I revisited FF XIII about two years ago. I had to set the game to only run on one core of my CPU of it would crash. I think my dad and the guys he works with have a similar program they use for the teachers grading system because of the same issue (he's one of 5 IT's that manage all the computer systems for the school district in my home county).

    I dunno... the laptop I use for all my old DOS games runs Windows 98 naturally w/ DOS still on it. My grandad used to use it for his work he did w/ P&G about 10 or 11 years ago overseas

    Oh, well in that case I think you'll be good. Didn't realize you had something that old laying around. Even still, you'd be hard pressed to get a 5.25" drive hooked up to anything besides a PC.

    Yeah, after my grandad got sick, my grandma put it up for a while until I told her I wanted specifically because it had DOS on it... Is there a certain way the 5.25" drive connects?

    Yeah, it uses the same connector as a 3.5" floppy does. I did a little Google searching and couldn't find any externally mounted 5.25" drives. I only looked for about 20 minutes though. I did read somewhere that you can get on eBay and there are people that will copy the 5.25" floppy's over to a CD-ROM if you wanted to go that route.
