KyroII + Pentium III 866 (o'ced to 871) = Kick, uh, TNT2M64

[Beeblequix]

I found a home for my Hercules Prophet 4500.

My brother asked the other day for a newfangled 'pc hardware lesson'. What more opportune time to 1. help my family and 2. find a computer to use my Kyro II on.

First I benchmarked the TnT2m64 that was in there. The results were an astounding 913! w00t!!!! Results can be found here:

I knew the Kyro could do better than that, so I gave him his 'lesson' he asked for (to me, elementary, to him, well, not...). We popped out the Vanta POS, dropped in the Prophet, configured the thing, ran 3dmark2k1se (not build 330, though). The results can be found here:

Woohoo! 1669!!! That's a whopping 82.8% increase in video performance!

I'm mostly cheery to know that I didn't ESD that card a few months back....

Anyone care to debate whether or not 3dmark 2k1 should even be relevant when dealing with the Kyro's tile-based rendering scheme?

edit: yes, my "o'ced to 871" is mostly a pun; satire is fun
