| I just wanted to report that I have experienced a flawless install of Lego Creator. I was really worried with all of the problems others had reported. I thought I'd let you all know the environment: I just built an ATX Celeron 300A, with a Matrox (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Congrats on the install of Creator. Have you tried to overclock the 300A to 450 yet? Oh, and sorry about the G200. I'm a longtime Matrox fan, but the only reason I'm keeping the Marvel G200-TV I put in the 300a-450 system I put together a few (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

(Well, OK, some had problems with install, but most problems show up when running the program, as it reads the copy protection scheme on startup). BTW, the docs (...)

| (...) Requiring the CD in something that amounts to a game or home fun program is the norm, no matter how much you install. Allowing someone to install the full install and then never use the cd would certainly be convenient, but it would also make (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jan-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Well, opinions, humble or otherwise, are mostly irrelevant with respect to this. I buy a ton of games and "home" software and get to use even more because my friend works at Babbages and he lets me try some things before he buys them for me (...)

G200 is, at least what I hear, the best Picture quality on the market, and the best 2D & 3D quality, even if it's "only" 80% as fast as a voodoo II card. I use one myself, so I may be (...)

Oh, and just for reference, a p166mmx in my office, with one V2 card, runs at 800x600 and does at least 30fps, and that's 30fps of pure 3d-accelerated quality that looks about a billion times better than the software rendering Quake2 does (...)
