Nice!

Heh, I think I saw a few Slot-1 Golden Orbs on ebay a few months back. I've got a dual Slot-1 Tyan Tiger 100, but I doubt a pair of those would fit with the slot spacing lol. Personally though, I really like the look of the server grade passive heatsinks that were used in old Dells.



Mmmmmmm schmexy blue anodizing.

I'll have to look, I remember having a couple of these processors with that exact heat sink. I think it came out of a Dell Dual Slot 1 server. Hmmm, hell, I might even still have that server even. LOL

I'm going to bring the discussion here, because I don't want to derail the other thread, but still explaining to TRWOV what I had in mind.
So, I almost ended-up buying a Sapphire HD 2600 XT AGP for a freaky project that exploded in my mind the moment I saw the card.
The idea was to use my 4CoreDual-SATA, once I upgraded to something more modern, with that card plus my 2600x2 for some triple-screen awesomesauce. One idea was to make a RACE 07 dedicated computer, given that driving simulators greatly benefit from very wide resolutions.
The specifications for RACE 07 state a 3GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, DX9 w/512MB vRAM GPU. The HD 2600 while not being a performance monster should handle the game fine with the resolution set to 1366x768 or even 1440x900.
The XT AGP version has the same amount of vRAM and the same type as the 2600x2 (512MB GDDR3).
The AGP card would be selected for the center screen and the HD 2600x2 would take care of the extra two screens.
The problem is that I'm going through a rough financial period as we speak and I'm not even sure I can make VIA's Dual-GFX feature work with similar cards/drivers, let along 3 chips.
This was an idea I had, but at the moment, I cannot accomplish it (too many barriers and a high level of uncertainty).

Acquired a pair of 12MB Voodoo2s. They're not matching, but it's as close as I'll get right now to running something more genuine to what was around back in the day. Lol, I doubt a lot of gamers were able to get their hands on Quantum3d hardware, even if the Obsidian2 X-24 was available to the consumer market.

The pair came with an SLI cable and one of the cheapo, thin pass-through cables. Probably going to replace that with a nice 6" VGA saver cable or something.

Frigging awesome score M1919!!!!!!!!!

Man, I wish I could find a pair of them or a pair of the Diamond Monster 12mb cards. I remember playing Quake for the first time with one Diamond Monster 8mb card!!! It was a hell of a difference!!!

Congrats on the score man.

There seem to be a lot of auctions on ebay these days for Voodoo2s. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a matched pair sometime.

For me... I just wanted a pair of Voodoo2s, didn't have to be matching as long as I had a working set lol.

How much do you guys reckon a Pentium D should be worth?
Preslers, for example...about 20~40 dollars, right?

Depends on the core and what it can clock to. I've been offered $60 for my 820 Smithfield because it'll run 4.2 stable.

After i did my own Windows 98se build i changed out my Vodoo 3 2000 for SLi Vodoo 2s, now im almost finished a cheap DOS only rig that i plan to run FreeDOS on. The DOS rig has a Cryix 5x86 @ 100mhz but i've never been able to get the board to post, im just waiting for some FPM memory sticks to come up on ebay for cheap, probably 2x32mb sticks (matching pair) even though 32mb itself is plenty.

I even got my old 5 1/4 inch floppy working by changing the IDE cable.

I really should post up some pictures.

I had a 3D Prophet II GTS Pro (64MB) from them. Pretty good card for its time (Wish Hercules and Tyan never left the GC market)

If anybody is browsing this forum and is still on 56k, they belong in this thread. Not their hardware, but the person.
