CollierComputers.com
This week at Collier Computers, the focus was on benchmarking retro systems and laying the groundwork for gameplay recordings.
Completed Tasks:
- Published an article on X: I detailed my recording setup for retro PCs and shared insights on the tools and enhancements I use. Curious about recording vintage machines? Check out my setup guide for tips!
- Gathered and shared benchmark tools: Compiled a list of essential benchmarking software to evaluate retro PC performance effectively. These tools help test CPU, GPU, and memory performance thoroughly.
- Ran benchmark tests on the Gateway 500SE PC: Extensive performance tests provided valuable data to analyze system health, identify bottlenecks, and optimize this classic machine.
In Progress:
- Testing PerformanceTEST: I’m continuing to evaluate this benchmarking tool to ensure it delivers accurate and detailed results for retro systems.
Blocked Tasks:
- Recording benchmark videos: This task was previously blocked due to missing hardware. With the necessary tools now in place, I’ll begin video recordings next week.
Looking Ahead:
With hardware and tools ready, next week will focus on:
- Recording and documenting benchmark results: I’ll capture high-quality videos showcasing benchmark tests across different tools.
- Gameplay recordings: I plan to record footage of my favorite retro games, offering both technical insights and nostalgic entertainment for retro PC enthusiasts.
