Game Developers announce support for Pentium III Processor

Game Developers announce support for Pentium III Processor lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

Game Developers announce support for Pentium III Processor is another February 1999 item worth filing away, because the small notices often tell you where the industry is heading next.

The names attached here include Gathering, Take-Two Interactive Software, Delphine Software International, Intel Corporation's Pentium III, and Darkstone. The platform angle centers on PC, Windows 95/98, Windows 95, and PlayStation. The hook is LAN and RPG. The hard numbers include Windows 95, Descent 3, Baseball 20, and Powerboat 2.

The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
