hahaha aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. wonder how long that takes to boot up haha

 

[DaMulta]

It does not take that long to boot. I'll make a video tonight and post it on youtube if I get a chance.

DaMulta, youre a madman, A MADMAN!!!

I found my copy of unreal, and I need to find Quake 3 BUT unreal should be cool. I wonder if fraps will work with it.

If anyone could do me a favor would be to hunt down a agp gart driver for windows xp/vista that would be killer.

[DaMulta]

Ah you suck you got the real copy of the paper people quake. I wish I still had a copy....

 

[MRCL]

I must say Windows 7 seems better looking then Vista

I humbly disagree, it does not look good^^

 

[johnnyfiive]

Okay, upon DaMultas request, here are the pics of my wall deco:

Not all of them are old boards, also some "newer" stuff like a Gigabyte mobo and a X600 are sticked up there...

Nice old school collection! This is giving me some really cool ideas.

hey man how'd u get hold of the beta version windows 7? what u need to go through

Well first you need to find a bay full of nasty sea-villains, then you need to give them the magic words and press the right button.
After that it's really only a matter of looking for the One with the Green Flag and making sure you're open for reception. A couple of simple index finger gestures complete the task

Think he had a Vista beta key and these can be used with the windows 7 beta if you download the install .iso file.

...and yet I keep hearing about how 7 is completely different from Vista.

 

[DaMulta]

Beta can be over the phone very many different ways....lots of ways.

My friend's said he'll take some pics, he's just exceptionally lazy (Even more so than me).

On the windows 7 subject, I've got 3dmark06 up and running on it without any performance penalty going to try battlefield 2 on it tonight.

The sad thing is I go to a crappy public city high school and two years ago we had all old parts in our only computer class and most looked like this. The old school motherboards with like 50 slots for memory and stuff. I don't know details about them but they sure were old. I got rid of my stuff, the oldest thing I had was a Radeon 9600 but it's gone now.

 

[unsmart]

I just moved a tossed a few boxes of old parts but heres some pics of the stuff I saved to hopefully mod.









I believe the Apples & TRS 80 are both 8mhz 8bit? with 64kb mem the apples might have 128mb. The Imacs 450mhz and the laptop is a 33mhz 386/486? with 4mb ram. As for the Bogen record player/ P.A system[not PC hardware but bad ass] is from the early 50s/late 40s. Everything work except for the Bogen P.A because my son snapped the arm for the record player off.

This thread wouldn't be the same without a pair of Voodoo2s. Back when SLI meant SLI. (Scan Line Interleave). Interestingly their dated '98. I thought they were older then that. And check out that blazing 100mhz ram! Yes they still work. Want to buy them? hehe

This needs to be tried

http://helppage.3dfx.sk/#top

Connect your SLi voodoo cards on your motherboard(this would suck on N chipsets BTW)

Install your two ATi cards in CF.

Then install a monitor cable from one card to the next until they are all connected.

This could give you native 3dfx support in your machine. Maye, and that would be very cool if you could do that.



Maybe combine this driver with the new one to make it happen on todays cards. IDK and don't know unless someone tries it

 

[crazy pyro]

That's just silly, however it is also awesome!

 

[DaMulta]

I got some cool old stuff today.

Still need to get my camera charged up....

Fluke 670 LANMeter Token Ring Networks test meter

Lets you test the lines of either net/token ring and serial( I think serial)
Pretty dang cool. I also have a an old port sniffer that still works also.


An old Cisco 2GB backbone(going back to try and get the cards tomorrow) 24/100 full duplex router

Also an old old old P2 HP machine it's Fing heavy!!!!

 

[DaMulta]

O I lucked out today. I found this old IBM and it looked like a 80386 machine. I popped her open AND there sit a P III 733 slot one chip

Maxes out my board it can't clock any higher that it is

Funny I got all excited about getting a PIII today lol.

 

[Binge]

Old printer control board...

My Legion of K6-2s

This is a controller board for a special type of commercial mining drill...

WIRE WRAPPING FTW!!!

I don't know what part of the chip this wafer contains but it's from '93

 

[stinger608]

Oh crap Binge!!! You needed to open that in a "clean room only"!!!! Shit, now you voided the warranty

 

[FreedomEclipse]

sheesh - I should take pics of my old gear somewhere - Especially my Intel 386 DX/SX II along with a few 100mb hard drives... - so long as my parents havent thrown it away... my mums merciless when it comes to cleaning out my junk. but if its her junk, its ok - it deserves the space where all my stuff was.
