If you wanted passage into the elite realm of computing in mid 1996, you would get a Pentium Pro system. These CPUs are powerhouses to be respected, not scrapped for fake ass money.

The Pentium Pro runs on an architecture wildly different from the classic Pentium; L2 cache now runs at full speed in the CPU package as opposed to a crippling FSB speed on the motherboard, allowing many instructions to be executed much more rapidly.

The cache residing in the CPU adds another advantage to a Pentium Pro build: you can install as much RAM as you want without performance penalties, as both the L1 and L2 cache can address all of it.

Socket 7 and earlier boards often had memory caching limitations, which is why it's advisable to install no more than 64MB of RAM on such boards with Intel chipsets. Here, though, if the motherboard permits installing 1GB of EDO RAM, you can do just that without consequence!

The Pentium Pro was outrageously expensive and needed a true 32-bit operating system like Windows NT to make the most out of it. Whatever that means, it sure isn't stopping Quake in DOS from seeing giant improvements over the Pentium. Perhaps if you throw 16-bit code at it, then it may start to suffer.

The Matrox Mystique supports USWC, which can be enabled by the BIOS via a setup utility, a driver, or a program like FASTVID. This can significantly improve video bandwidth, but be careful. A VGA adapter not supporting USWC will display garbled output, so for most cards made before 1998, just use UC instead.

Kugee: I think you could:
- Sort subtitle files manually or semi-automatically to different language folders.
- Rename them to match video ones.
- Then in PHP you could list avaiable files for each videos.
- Add their addresses to their <track> tags with their srclang attributes respectively.

As for submission sending files via a separate email could works but it would be very finnicky to do so. Unfortunately I have no better ideas yet.

flatrute: Might try to get it in there soon, assuming I can get my existing subtitle files to work with the inline video player.

Kugee:

Anyway how is my idea of video translation subtitles?

Nice ! Somehow I can use emoticons in comments now !

As for the machine, this is definitely a beast! This is definitely an upgrade from any Socket 7 system making it much more powerful than any Socket 7 board, props to ASUS for creating this board! Of course Pentium Pros were not meant to be scrapped for money, literally powerhouses for it's time. It's disgraceful seeing people scrap these CPU's to extract gold.
