I have a 16MB HDD it weights like 25lbs ill post a pic when I go back to my dads

DaMulta · Nov 26, 2008, 01:30 AM

Cool deal, and I can't wait to see it.

mrhuggles · Nov 26, 2008, 05:12 PM

Nowadays it's just imaginary/asian brand names.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but Chips was a manufacturer.

Yeah, but a manufacterer which had a name that SAYS something

"Hi, I'm from CHIPS"

"What do you do?"

"We make chips."

"Hmm, figures..."

mrw1986 · Nov 26, 2008, 05:30 PM

I have a motherload of old hardware...as in a 1000 sq. ft. warehouse full of it...my dad used to own a PC business and we have ALL the old stuff still, lol. I have stuff dating back to the 286 days and some stuff even older (motorola cpu's, etc). I have every kind of PC part you can think of from every manufacturer. If only I could find some time in my schedule to go and snap some pics.

Thrackan · Nov 26, 2008, 05:34 PM

Too bad we dumped all the Commodore64's and Amiga 500/1200 two years ago... My brother expanded the 1200 with an 8MB module

It would be awesome even if you could only get a few pics.

+1 on DaMulta!!! That would be awesome to see some pics of allllllllll that old computer tech hardware

I will be digging up some of my older stuff, and getting some pics in here as well...........Great thread DaMulta!!!

mlee49 · Nov 26, 2008, 10:04 PM

I've got a 486 chip at home, I'll break it out w/some pics later this weekend.

DaMulta · Nov 26, 2008, 11:05 PM

I would like to see a 80586 AMD

Am5x86

I would like to see motherboards they worked in. Look at Google and see how many you can find.....

I would also like to see embedded AMD Intel CPU into motherboards. I have one of these at work to get pics of. I forget what it is tho...

Another thing I would like to see if anyone remembers(I never owned one, but can remember) was those overclock things that you installed your CPU into for more performance. kind of like a socket converter. Anyone remember this? Around 486 and Intel P days.

Also I would like to see the box that any of this stuff came in or manuals.

stanhemi · Nov 26, 2008, 11:12 PM

still have my old vic 20,and alot of old piece (mobo,video card,memory,hdd) but need to find my battery for my cam.picture coming soon

CDdude55 · Nov 26, 2008, 11:20 PM

The oldest PC hardware i have is a socket 939 board.

I got more into PC gaming at that time. When AMD was the best for gaming. Before that it was mostly Consoles and a little PC( I played UT 04 alot on my moms Dell, it ran like @ss but it still worked) First comp i build had a APG slot tho.

I do remember having those different colored iMacs in my middle school.

stanhemi · Nov 26, 2008, 11:58 PM

Oh yea, I had forgot about them!!! Yep, Asus made a ton of these!!! You could plug them into a CPU slot, and it would make them a socket 370, PIII compatible computer

Fricking awesome dudes! I think I still have a couple of them goofy converters..............I will dig them up as well, and take a couple of pics just for you DaMulta

DaMulta · Nov 27, 2008, 12:03 AM

Sweet I don't know if I have ever seen one before; only reading the Sunday Newspaper sales adds long ago.....

Cool man, I will get them out sometime this weekend, as I am pretty sure I know where they are! Gets some pics up...........Damn, I am glad you brought that up, I had completely forgot all about them little jewels!!!! As a matter of fact, a computer builder back in the early PIII days, named Micron, used a ton of them to kind of upgrade some PII boards that they had left, so they could advertise that there systems included the new PIII Intel processors

Kind of a scam in a way, but funny none the less..........I ended up with about 6 or 7 of these very weird looking computers!!! I will include a picture of one of the cases as well!

Well look what I found. Just think " Could they do this today".

Socket 5

Quote:

AMD K5 (PR75 - PR200)
There were two sets of K5 processors, internally called the SSA/5 and the 5k86, both released with the K5 label. The "SSA/5" line ran from 75 to 100 MHz (5K86 P75 to P100, later K5 PR-75 to PR100); the "5k86" line ran from 90 to 133 MHz. However, AMD used what it called a PR rating, or performance rating, to label the chips according to their equivalence to a Pentium of that clock speed. Thus, a 116 MHz chip from the second line was marketed as the "K5 PR166". Manufacturing delays caused the PR200's arrival to unfortunately nearly align with the release of K6. Since AMD did not want the two chips competing, the K5-PR200 only arrived in small numbers. Enthusiasts have speculated that many PR200 chips were sold as PR166, because of easy overclocking with later PR166 chips.[3]

Quote:

Socket 7
AMD K6-2 (300 MHz – 550 MHz)
AMD K6-III
AMD K6-2+
AMD K6-III+

Socket 5

CPU Upgrade: voltage converter for Socket 5

Then a Socket 7 CPU

The upgrade socket from PowerLeap is compatible with most Socket 5 and Socket 7 motherboards.

The voltage for the CPU core as well as the clock multiplier can be adjusted on the upgrade socket. Voltages and timing multipliers are finely adjusted by the DIL switch on the upgrade socket.

Socket 5 - Multiplier and Clock CPU clock
3,0 x 66MHz 200MHz
2,5 x 66MHz 166MHz (Pentium 166)
2,0 x 66MHz 133MHz (Pentium 133)
1,5 x 66MHz 100MHz (Pentium 100)
1,5 x 60MHz 90MHz (Pentium 90)
1,5 x 50MHz 75MHz (Pentium 75)
Upgrade Adapter - Multiplier and Clock CPU clock
6,0 x 66MHz 400MHz (AMD K6-2/400)
5,5 x 66MHz 366MHz (AMD K6-2/366)
5,0 x 66MHz 333MHz (AMD K6-2/333)
4,5 x 66MHz 300MHz (AMD K6-2/300)

Performance comparison: Basic model vs. tuning

To measure performance, we used the Sysmark 2000 application benchmark from BAPCo as well as the Timedemo1 from the well-known Quake III Arena games benchmark. Both test procedures clearly prove that the total system performance increases considerably by using the fast AMD-CPU in conjunction with the memory upgrade. Originally the processor bus clock of a Pentium 75 is 50MHz. It is then increased to 66MHz for an AMD K6-2/400. This influences the overall performance significantly. The L2 cache and the memory are also automatically clocked at a faster rate by increasing the processor bus clock. It's just rather annoying that the processor bus clock for the Intel 430FX chipset can only be adjusted to 66MHz. Further increase of the processor bus clock to 75MHz or even 83MHz (as is offered by some boards with a 430HX chipset) would facilitate a processor core clock of 450MHz or 500MHz! And all this on a platform that is more than six years old.

Ready to see other ones

stinger608 · Nov 27, 2008, 12:56 AM

Yep that was one of the upgrade whatzits!!!! LOL, the ones that I have plug into a PII slot and convert that to the socket 370 PIII CPU

Anyhow, we must not forget the fricking "Quantum Big Foot"

And a comparison to the awesome 3 1/2" drive that we all use today.

Oh yea, and BTW, that old Maxtor is a 280mb drive
