My hd3470 is worse than this tho

[@computercatgaming02]

You know it's bad when you have to lower the resolution all the way down to 240p, well at least it was cheap. ;) Edit: also I felt like I've seen a HD3450 before and yes I've, I actually own a HD3450! Though luckily for me I got it for free. I've only used it once.

[@computercatgaming02]

Dedicatings I remember 2 years ago when I used my grandmas older Vista PC which is also from 2006 and It was painful since it was really showing it's age, which was understandable since was filled with dust for over 8 years. Though at least it ran Sims 2 fine and a little less fine with Minecraft with the lowest settings + optifine around 30fps with dips.

[@hoppstech]

ComputerCatGaming I've got a 3450 as well, and it did fairly poor when I tested it in a video

[@computercatgaming02]

BootlegScarce actually my family had a Vista power house (3GB RAM, 2 X 500GB HDD,some good AMD cpu, GeForce GPU) and it kicked ass so my relation to Vista is quite good ;) sadly it died from overheating, should've cleaned it. *RIP Vista powerhouse 2007-2012*

[@Fadingfool]

I upgraded from the HD3450 to a HD4550 way back in 2009. 80 shaders v 40 shaders made a big difference and was able to play L4D at 1280x1024 quite happily. Unfortunately the card died a few years back - served in another pc for a few years for it's media playing abilities.

Interesting in the fact you had to fix it first with the oven fix. Performance wise, if you can call it that being compared to a 210 GT is pretty sad.

[@amused7928]

I need to know is it legal to emulate in the uk? If not I’m reporting you to the police

[@Aehzur]

Cmd56000 haha what

[@BudgetBuildsOfficial]

+Cmd56000: Emulation is completely legal, as the code is completely open source... Even Nintendo used emulation on the SNES and NES Mini, aswell as working on a port of the games for the Nvidia Shield.

[@amused7928]

No coppers today

[@dustinm2717]

Cmd56000 emulation is completely legal as long as the emulator does not copy the bios or os components from the actual system (which is usually considered a copyright infringement so most emulators either require you to provide the bios yourself or they replicate the functionality of it in their own code) the part that can be illegal is the rom files you play on them (distibuting the rom files can be considered piracy but at the time of writing this its still kindof a grey area) however the common mood i see is its fine to play the rom files on emulators if you already legally own the game

[@jakeparkinson7695]

Should have reported it as a scam and got that 51p back, you could have brought a pack of chewies with that.

[@amused7928]

[@lumaseed6490]

240p is the good ol resolution for N64

[@brunosh]

TheLastPerez even n64’s res was higher

[@jackalexlester8612]

N64 was i think 360 or even 480p

[@DaVince21]

N64 didn't do 480p but 480i (with the Expansion Pak as mentioned). That means it still only rendered 240 lines every frame, just alternatingly between the odd and even lines to still make up a resolution of 480p (but blurrier and with interlacing artifacts).

[@seronymus]

I love seeing old tech being cleaned up and repurposed and touched up, this video was amazing.

[@guthrieglasgow7272]

Only on Budget-Builds Official does one use ancient cables more expensive than your graphics card.

[@abcdefg9613]

HoppsTech oh,the gt540m was not bad at all,the problem is that the guy 540m is available in two versions, a64 bit bus which is slowly,and a 128 bit which is much faster,I have an Asus x53s which has the fast one and it is very good for it's age.

[@hoppstech]

Groza Adrian I have a Sony Vaio F Series with an i7 2630qm, and 8gb of ram. It's a massive bottleneck, I'm just hoping to find a way to jerry rig up a gpu box

[@abcdefg9613]

In your case I think you are royally screwed because Sony has a very nasty habit of changing the GPU in such a way that standard drivers do not install,so you have to wait for Sony to deliver drivers (which happens almost never).

[@jenniferlynn3579]

One redeeming quality of this card is it is running on the same architecture as the Radeon 2000 series. The Radeon HD 2000 and HD 3000 series processed 2D graphics completely differently than more modern cards, and some windows-embedded-based japanese arcade games were coded around this 2D processing. One great example is the Konami rhythm game 'beatmania IIDX'. Version 18 and 19 of the series used PCs featuring the Radeon HD 2400 cards. Those weren't actually very common or cheap around the time this game was being hacked/cracked for personal home-use. The HD 3450, however, was just a slightly boosted 2400 card, and was way more common to find lying around and for a lower price. Without using a card from this series, the games graphics feature diagonal slices through them and other minor distortions. So these cards are actually a welcome addition to anyone who wants to run those older versions of the game and other related games that used the same type of cards in their builds. Believe it or not the mini-DIN/S-video also comes in handy for when someone wants to use this on a proper CRT or arcade monitor from that era. (especially combined with appropriate component/vga/s-video conversion cable)

Next time when you clean a cpu, remove the fan, it had 3 screws, and a 3 wire plug to undo, then behind the cooler here should be a sticker with a optional rubber ring, peel half of the sticker and remove the ring (if any) then take a needle and put a few drops of fine machine oil, the one use in mechanics such as sewing machines for example, DO NOT use any other lube type, sprays, wd40, alcohol etc. Spin the cooler a bit, add more fine machine oil but don't over do it.

Everything was covered with a layer of sticky tar and a lot of dust. I got all of it even the power supply striped it all down and soaked it in the bath for an hour. the heatsinks were the worst and I found that Mr. Musle bathroom cleaner works well to remove tar. Anyway, after all that everything smelled a bit better but not much I can do about that. I put everything together after drying it with a hair dryer and letting it sit for a day.
