Right then, due to my growing insanity i decided to get a buffbot.
My pc did not have enuf ram and i was not gonna fork out money i dont have for more ram, as two accounts on my ageing celeron might not be a good idea.
"i need another pc, just like the way they used to run buffbots"
so i dug out a old motherboard i thought was dead with a fucked bios but now works again (wtf?), a p2 300 cpu, 32mb of ram from my currant "good" pc, and my old 64 mb Hercules prophet, some old 400ish meg hard drives, took out a old mobo from a case and put it all in and it worked but i had no OS yet, but i will nab the win 98 cd off a m8, anywho i digress. i only have one network card and i was pondering if direct cable connection would work for daoc, i can get a browser working over a direct cable connection useing a proxy programme, would daoc work tho? and how laggy would daoc be on the above specs? rember all it has to do is /sit and buff now and then.
before you say im mad and should buy somthing new, people told me sharing the net on a 56k modem ,over a parrel cable to a win 95 running 486 machine was impossible but i did it.
it would be win 98 connecting to win xp (or the other way around) using a parrel cable. the actual net connection is broadband.
would it be possible to set up?
