    Do u experience random crashes?

Certainly the tests would involve more than a digital voltmeter... David Vrabel ps. All PCs have used switch-mode power supplies (even my ancient PC XT had one).

    This won't improve performance. All it will do is make some of the systems calls more Windows 95 like (e.g. a query of version of the OS will return WIndows 95 instead of Windows 2000). David Vrabel

    Messed up graphics

    Looks like a lack of Z-buffer precision. Either turn on the W-buffer or go back to 32bit color depth. Failing that it could be the balaclava polycount has been reduced so it doesn't fit properly anymore. Tweak settings upwards until the glitches go away. David Vrabel

    Psychoanalysis time!

    45. Which isn't me at all. But then none of the possible categories describes me. Generally these tests are pointless with this one being particularly so. You wouldn't catch me working for a company that does these sorts of tests. David Vrabel
