Comment Re:All C=64 emu's are not perfect (Score 1) 165

Ultima 4 was one of the best games ever. One of the reasons I keep a real C64 (first gen, with the better sound chips) around with at least two 1541 drives. One of them is hooked up to my TV with two 1541. The other one is hooked up to an Amiga monitor with a 1541, a 486 with 64HDD and a 1541-II for image transfers

And yes, I still have some 5 1/4 floppies brand-new in shrink wrap :)

Well, it doesn't need to for one.
The only reason it's 98 and not DOS is simply because I need Logitech's gaming software to program the buttons on my flight stick for Tie Fighter and X Wing. (and it beats having to do a multi-config to meet the memory requirements of each game)

The second (and biggest) reason why it's not even on the network is security.
I don't want to take the chance my AV software on my Win7 machine misses something because it's deemed too old and it propagates on the 98 box. Besides, as I said, it doesn't need to.

No it's not

1- Noise. I'm running a pair of Noctua NF-12 fans at medium speeds on the radiator of my Corsair H70 (the PSU fan makes more noise)
2- Capacity of liquid to move heat *much* faster than air
3- Weight on the motherboard. The little pump is much lighter than a 2 pound heatsink

Before installing that cooler, I couldn't get my E7200 (2.53) beyond 3.2 without insane temps. Now, I'm stable at 3.8 with 75C MAX, 4.1 will need a beefier radiator.

Besides, it's not that more expensive than high-end air
