I bought Quake 2 game at "Amiga Alpe Adria 2003"!

I never liked much 3D FirstPersonShooters, but I
like Quake 2! It runs very fast on my
BlizzardPPC@300MHz+Voodoo3-2000 combo
even at 800x600, but I play it at 640x480, and
it's very, very playable!

Great job Hyperion-Enterteinment!!! :-)

A BlizzPPC at 300MHz? I don't think so... my 240 runs so hot it's melted it's fan... and how do you get the 68K and memory to run stably at such a high frequency (assuing you adjusted the system clock rather than the PPC clock multiplyer...)

Also what did you expect with a Voodoo 3 gfx card? Quake II runs find on those...

Oops it seems I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning... actually I'm still on Canadian time... damn I hate Jetlag  :-(

Really? I got the 603e@240 + 040@25 + SCSI which should be the hottest combination (esp with 040) and I havent seen anything like that happen...

Was your card in a desktop or tower?

As for 300MHz I heard some people had salvaged higher rated 603e's from old powermacs and managed to get them transplanted onto their cards.

Maybe Ponos is one of them?

 :oops:  A Desktop :-P Yeah yeah, I know it was going to melt...  :-D

Sure you could transplant a higher rated 603e (though I doubt it given the SMT technology used), but then you would have to change the multiplyer and that is set by a bunch of tiny resistors soldered on the board... all seems like far too much work IMHO...

It is 300 MHz BlizzardPPC!
It was original BlizzardPPC+ 603@240MHz and 040@25MHz!
Multiplyer was 4 and I made it 4.5!
And I switched original 60 MHz oscilator, with
66.676 MHz oscilator!

4x60=240MHz
4.5x66.676=300MHz

Yeah, ok, I was in a bad mood when I made that post... :-)

But setting the multiplier resistor and changing a crystal must have been horrible...
