TPU's Nostalgic Hardware Club

I have a 4CoreDual-VSTA myself. Peculiar board. Couldn't go above like 285MHz FSB. Only accepted certain PCIE GPUs without a modded bios. And wouldn't work with SATA 3.0Gb/s drives without forcing them to 1.5Gb/s on the drive (jumper or firmware).

ok, here is what i have.

Cpu Nostalga Collection ( or Envy )

I got a Few CPU's that some people would consider Nostalgic while some people will
Scream "Huh I'm Still Running that CPU" (me included)
some AMD Mobile


some AMD Desktop


Some Intel Mobile


and Some Intel Desktop 775 ( that makes them Nostalgic "Eh")

To many to picture individualy hence the group Shots and intel etching on top is usualy difficult to photo right thats why its bottom only

UP Next will be an assortment of PCIx Graphics Cards

Had a look at your Photo's Cannot see anything to google and get results
googled duel bx motherboard review's hopeing some review would have a picture similer to yours not alot of luck there
Is there Any Silk Screen printing on the motherboard Your have to examine it closely for further information
Examples below


another way of finding out hardware info would be to find the FCC id code (SilkScreen printing on the motherboard someware) and Search their Database

stinger608 you might want to add this link to the 1st post
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/

Last Resort and you know your going to do this anyway is
put in some ram fit a hard disk ect
install either LINUX or XP Pro or run hirens Boot disk
see what drivers they install for the hardware found
then try various Diagnostic software to check and identify the hardware

Thanks dorsetknob.

I also searched everything on that sticker in google and got zap.

Will search (if I get time tonight) that m/b for any silk screen printing.

Thanks for your effort.

Ol' RM has you covered

It's a Gateway ALR 7200 server motherboard.

At that link, you can find high-res shots of different sections of the board, drivers, and any and all info you could ever want to know about it.

Can't tell the numbers...

That is a mighty fine collection. Say, is there a TL-66 or a TL68 in there?

are you specificly in the market for either a TL-66 or a TL68
if so i will keep my eye open for one for you

if you're willing to list those, would you mind listing the 64 lga775 procs you have? i may be interested in a few...

Much obliged.
Yes, I am. I have a Pavilion laptop with a TL-58. On the upgrade paths I was thinking of getting a TL-66 (TL-68 if compatible), if I ever saw one in a good deal, that is. Found a couple on eBay, but all were from china. Found some from the USA as well, but were twice as expensive, excluding the shipping costs.
Again, thank you for listing them.

I got a TL-58 for sale but it won't be much of use for you then.

Thanks Random Murderer,

but how the hell did you find it?
What did you use.

Thanks allot for the help

it was actually just one hell of a coincidence. a friend in high school had that exact server, although it was maxed out with dual 400MHz processors and 512MB RAM, a couple of high-end(for the time) LAN controllers, and a blazing fast SCSI setup. he used to use it as a dedicated counter strike/unreal/quake server when one of us hosted a LAN party.
good times, great little server i can't wait to see if you can resurrect that monster.

I am going to try my best, all I still need is memory. But I will keep on searching

whats your location?
what Cpu'are fitted
the spec's Random Murderer linked to show its capable of running up to p2 600Mhz Cpu's
also it seems it will also run on standard SDram pc100 up to 256kb per slot

I am from South Africa. And I do not know what CPU's are fitted, (not yet), I sometimes work until 10PM so I do not get allot of time to play with the thing.

There s my old glorious farts

Your system specs say you're using a 7950GT. Isn't the 8800GS a better card? Why aren't you using it?

Dropped by an old friends place of business today, he's the kind of guy who throw's nothing out. We we're in the back room talking and I noticed a stack of IBM Model M keyboards(mine say's 1984 on the back) that looked new and said...whoa, those bring back memories. He said, "that's nothing" and opened the closet. literally full of parts from 1985 to 2000. He had a stack of new Compaq Deskpro slot 1's that we're never used...or at least didn't look like they we're.

I did grab a keyboard and couldn't turn down a DeskPro(Slot 1-700mhz) and I was getting the impression he wanted me to take more. I'm going back next Saturday with my SUV.

Liquid Cool

P.S. Might be needing a PCI video card for this DeskPro...if anyone has a suggestion.

Yes is alot better but...

I have an issue with that 8800GS the fan is stuck on the highest speed always spins at 100 % and is dead loud, i cannot find a way to drop it down and fix it, Riva tuner didnt work.

This combo reminds of the game Commandos Behind Enemy Lines.
