OMG! :-O So basically, it seems that Vista is just a "fancied up" copy of Win95?!

Well i'm hoping that by taking the time to dig it out and take a few pics other members can appreciate it too.
Something like this might have been part of your parents' home entertainment, or even your grandparents.
I doubt if you would find one of these in Costa Rica.

More photos will be apreaciatted,
and also those artifacts are just into a musseum maybe, hard to tell that me or any friend have one at home,

Your post means that you never used it. Windows 8 is the worst OS ever.

Something told me that you where using either winxp or vista with enhancements shut off. But I nailed it on the date. Winamp playlist gave it away.

Wrong answer. Vista, despite your appreciation of it, is hands down a piece of trash. SP2 or not. XP, 7 and 8.1 are the top three, 98 would be my next choice.

Just received a Voodoo5 5500. €18.90 including international shipping. Never seen another for less than €50, and most are double that! I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but it will take pride of place in my collection

The eBay seller described it as new, so it should work, just have to build a system to test it

LOL, I have about a dozen motherboards with suitable hardware to test all my GPU collection. Just need to make space somewhere (and I must have been saying that for over a year!). This card should motivate me to sort out the AGP 1/2 system

That's awesome Debs!!! I also have one that includes the original owners manual but no box as @TRWOV has.

I still think he just needs to send me the original box. :laugh:

I can handle not having the box. Just downloaded Win 9x, NT and 2K drivers for it. I guess over the next few days I'll have to sort through my motherboard collection and find/decide which board I'm going to run it on. Might put it all in the Chieftec Dragon case I recently bought

That would be an awesome system with it running Windows 95 or 98SE!!!!

Just came back with a scrap parts build until my other Sempron arrives:

ECS 755-A2 (SiS 755)
400W Rexpower PX-400 PSU (16A on 12v

)
No-name Beige PC case
80GB SATA WDC HDD
ASUS Radeon HD3450 512MB AGP
Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe TV Tuner
AMD Sempron 3000+ Socket 754
1GB DDR400 double sided sticks :rockout:

Lite-ON LTS-122 DVD ROM

It's just a placeholder (doesn't POST

,it would have been my first 64-bit/DDR400 build) until my other Semrpon arrives and until I fix my ASRock P4VM800 motherboard.

Also,found some more socket A CPUs and my LGA775 Celeron 2.00GHz that just needs a mobo.

Mine won't EVEN BEEP without RAM. CPU installed though.
Not even replacing the capacitors fixed it. Ah well,maybe it's good for hanging on the wall. The good part is I have my first S754 CPU!

Might look out for a nF3 or nF4 MB on S754 (they were used for 939 too,BTW anything from S462 and 478 to 754 and 939 kick ass IMO)
