That looked familiar to me. Here's mine.

Apparently yours is PCB 0322 while mine is PCB 0013. Any ideas on the manufacturer? I've not been able to find it, not that it matters that much.

Whoa! How long did your Pentium 2 take to load Windows 7??

I thought you ask how long did the Pentium 2 take the load of Windows 7.

I was going to say I heard doing things like that could be fatal. :laugh:

My rig is old school and the other one in my shed also lol

Is the barn the monitor?

all I am going to say is. you guys are such nerds.. lol. all in a good way.

I resent that!

I graduated HS (first try thank you very much!), got a 2 year college degree, transfer from community to K-State, have taken calculus 1 & 2 combined about 5x, then I dropped out of KSU after 3 semesters............wait...,hmmm I think I need to rethink things as they suddenly don't seem quite what I was thinking they were.

Here are some pics of my new hardware. I unfortunately fell on my way home, so they are kind of unusable now, but they used to be cool

the 1st one is Conner CFS420A -420mb the other used to be WD caviar 2850 - 850mb.

The next pics are some S3 Trio64V2/DX 2mb pci and S3 Trio64V+ 2mb pci video

At 1st look at the little pics i thought i had seen the old 800MB WD drive lol.. Ooh the origenal S3 with memory upgrades were they like 1/2 to 1 meg a chip lol.

I accidentally found these two cards :ohwell:

i guess they sum up the old stuff i have...

de.das.dude · Apr 24, 2011

an amd K6 (socket 7) HSF from 97, which is now my NB cooler

of course its not mine LOL. i was 5yrs old. pciked it up for 10INR, (.30USD approx) from a neighborhood for all electronics, from old comp hardware to all sorts of new gadgets and stuff!

so i took apart the fan and serviced it and cleaned the sink with alcohol, and its awesome again!

i also had a 6" flopp and a larger paper one (got it from school, gave it in memory of being the techiest person there), but cant find them

Cmon people dig deeper and find more old hardware

Btw i have a question..!
didn't someone wonder why most old card dont have a manufacturer
or brand on them especially VGA cards :confused:

Does anyone know anything about this??

Well, back in the days there weren't as many people building PC's themselves. Nowadays almost everyone buys in parts, so you need flashy packaging and products to get the customer to buy yours.

Also, there's a LOT more manufacturers too.

They just went by the name on the chip,Look at the pic above with that Trident vga chip.All the brand name started around 98 when 3dFX started the ad for V2 sli and it all led to what we have today .

Hmmm

Mine says Copyright PTE LTD 1991

And on the back it say's CT1350A, and that card is a B. You can tell there is a difference(maybe where it was made). Just look at the chip on the left, and mine is side ways, Like the chip on the Pro 2 listed there.

The chips is labeled CT1336 '91 on my card. IDK Hmmmm

Limited things I think you can pull on them.

I could be wrong.

It is a Old 8 bit sound card SB16 or pre 32

Ok here http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/4012/Sound-Blaster-CT1350B/ it is even a pic of original box ...oh my i feel old i remember that box.....

Because back then nothing really ran hot enough to need a fan or heat sink (which is where all the manufacturer stickers are today).

It wasn't until the Pentium 2 (I think) that they got hot enough to put a fan on them. Though I know my dad glued fans on to my 3Dfx cards because they would get too hot and lock up. No heat sink, just a fan blowing on to the chip was enough to fix it.

i guess you're right, and there wasn't as much manufacturers as today back then,

speaking of hot stuff.. the old rig we have(which i posted pics of on page10) was given to my uncle, after a few years the HDD died which was a quantum Bigfoot(which i also posted at page11) and he returned it, so i took it apart and put another quantum "fireball" with winme, i was surprised :twitch:

that the PC didn't burn up because the CPU didn't have any thermal paste at all considering it was an AMD, and neither did the VGA card... so i applied some and slapped a few heatsinks around and a fan blowing at the VGA cards

Nice brings back memorys. I use to run a 80286 CPU with no HS at all. It was optional. I also remember the fist real impresive graphics with Doom 2 and voodoo 3

SetsunaFZero · May 14, 2011

got some stuff today

sry bout the quality i used my phone

SaiZo · May 14, 2011

Hey.. How do I post pictures on here?? I have currently taken a photo of 2 "old school" computer parts: AMD K6-2 CPU (intact!) and an ISA-scsi card i had lying around in the house.

I have some old stuff aswell, need help from neighbour when he gets back, its a computer (i think), it weighs like too much for me to lift up out of the dark and take a pic of. The screen is directly mounted onto the computer, stands up about 1" on some metal tube - screen might be around 12 or 14" (guessing). Whatever surrounds the screen - not plastic, has a strange feeling to it. Strange ports aswell.

The "chassie" is made out of almost solid steel. Do not know if it milled or what.. Havent been able to take it apart. Do not think it is an 286 however, it looks like something out of the 70's. it has 2 floppy drives, them big models, keyboard attached aswell to the entire piece of metal.

Could it be some sort of terminal aswell? Can not make out manufactur, something written in german behind it (that GmBH stuff).

No it was nothing i had, when i bought the house, it came with a basement where the water heater and so on is, also has a type of "storing room", dark as hell there. Have been waiting for electrician to come take a look when he has time aswell. There is some other electronical stuff down there, I should take a picture of those items too, someone around here might now if it is worth any cash or what..
