Post Pics of Old School Hardware "hard to find on the net"

[stinger608]

Umm yeah that was alot. I can't wait to post some dust covered boards and cpu's!

Yea, would ya


Damn, this is such a cool thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DaMulta]

This would be cool to see


Use :
An original Pentium MMX.
Or
An old AMD 3DNow!

OC the hell out of it with today's cooling"AKA Phase LOL"

CPU

With 512MB of some fast EDO 66Mhz ram

Then we install VISTA X86~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A PCI 2400PRO with 512MB of GDDR2 and run 3Dmark along with vantage.

I wonder what the score would be LOL.

 

[SkyKast]

haha that would be really interesting

Damn!!!!!!!! Now that's a hell of an idea DaMulta!!! It makes me wonder how it would run
Of course finding decent, LOL, EDO ram would be a chore in itself
Hell, just building a good water block would probably do pretty good, if you could find Ram that would handle the OC

LOL


I'm going to go hook up the old P2 machine right now!!!!!

I used it as a backup system over the summer, and talk about slow.......


I do however think that this board does have the upgraded 100Mhz buss. The last of the last P2 before P3.
I used to game hardcore on this machine(one just like it). It was a dell optiplex gx1 with a Voodoo 3, and I think I had about 300 megs of ram with a SCSi setup. Very sweet at it's time.


I just can't find my voodoo 3 card with it's super glued cpu heatsink on it and I have no idea what happened to my first GX1 machine......no idea at all. I must of sold it at some point, and time I just don't remember doing that.
O wait, I think I might have lost it in pawn, but I'm not sure.....(this could be the same system but I don't think sooo damn teen years can't remember)

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

 

[DaMulta]

Sweet Sli!!!!!

Install them on your system now lol....hehehe they are PCI

 

[Lazzer408]

Sweet Sli!!!!!

Install them on your system now lol....hehehe they are PCI

I do have an old Dell Optiplex PIII 500mhz box kicking around. Hmmm... A 10yr old gaming rig... I can't wait to benchmark Quake II on it. I can put in my old SB AWE 32 with the 8mb soundfont simm memory on it!

 

[DaMulta]

I'm getting all the stuff found right now for a p2 run of vista. I don't have a good pci card unless I can find the voodoo, and I haven't seen it in years.....I have NO IDEA where it is.


wait, I think I have a P2 AGp1 motherbaord with CPu at work....hmmmm
I do have a voodoo 55000AGp dual GPU!


I wonder if it would work in that board. I might be right back in 20mins.

 

[Wile E]

Holy crap! Lazzer is actually back. Blow up the Miata yet? lol.

 

[DaMulta]

Ok made it to work. Yep the voodoo 5500 fit right into that board. Looking around for some ram, and a SISC raid card. I'm going to take home a sever rack of 9GB SCSI drives LOL has like 15 drives in it I think LOL install that on raid 0 FTW!!!!!

the 5500 I'll take my own pics when I get home

Going to start benches on the front of this thread for old hardware runs.

Classic benches it shall B!!!!




Edit:I think this board can handle a slot 1 P3 also so I'm going to take the 400 P2 and the 550 P3 with me. Isn't it the 25 pin you have to cover up to unlock the multi?

"15 year old thermal paste"
It's at it's age to have it's own kids!!!!!


Sweet old rig. Know what parts they are?


Ok the p2 is up looks like it's a 550mhz not a 450mhz p2. I do have a p2 400 at the house tho

Also bring a couple of p3 chips with me(don't know if this board will boot with p3 chips). They are slot 1 cards so I wonder what the phase can do

I have a gig of ram installed and it booted up with the Voodoo 5500

I'm headed home to install

Dude................You da man!!!!!
That is some cool shit man!
I really need to get an old gaming machine together!
We really need to start a new thread, um old PII, PIII, and K6 benchys

 

[DaMulta]

I'm home man that scsi rack of 12 drives IS HEAVY
Can''t belive a found 4 sticks of 256 chips, but on google someone has them listed as 512 chips. So maybe the board can't handle that much ram lol....

http://cgi.ebay.com/TOSHIBA-1GB-2-x...mZ380064826171QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

I do think they are ECC because they have 9 chips on each side, but I could not get compaq ECC chips to fit. I thought ECC was a different size hmmm don't know.

anyways I know it boots about to hook it all up!!!


Also took a 4670 but I have to install that Monday....SOoooo I don't know about ocing it/


PDF on the ram chips
http://www.digchip.com/datasheets/download_datasheet.php?id=955537&part-number=TC59SM704FT-80

I guess they are 512mb hmmmm I should have 2GB of RAM DAMNIT lol

We can do it in this thread")

A proactive way to keep it moving

 

[DaMulta]

Sneak peak

The drives

I'll open one later.....

One of the sticks of ram is on my desk where I was pulling the info on it.

Do I see an old school Voodoo Sli card?

The per-set up. I have water blocks on my over to the side just wondering....When I setup there I hook the rad to the A/c unit(o baby). I love that thing. Even in the winter this room gets to cooking from my PC and has to been forced into coldness LOL.

I swear I always see the American flag in Fit's pics as well

Need to find my Awe 32 card with the expandable ram. Don't have a clue where to look.....I just need to post a pic of the PILE of boxes that I have/ It's a crazy amount.


Dang I think I needed two cables for the disc rank.....Hmmm or a chain wire. Have too look around during the day for one.

 

[Nick89]

Awesome! best of luck man! I love this thread!

 

[Hayder_Master]

i have old mobo , time to make it famous mobo , just im go to my home and take a good picture

 

[Deleted member 6693]

IBM Series/1 - with 65 KB memory and a 8-inch floppy drive.
The system is from 1981 and I have it in my basement....

Well it is soon to be thrown out....my wife needs the space

 

[DaMulta]

Huston we have a problem


Ok I have two raid cards and I dont have drivers. I need a driver for one or the other

AcceleRAID 150 is one card

http://www.mylex.com/obsolete/acceleraid_150_3252.html?remote=1&locale=EN#Driver
Drivers go to XP and stop.....read that someone had one running in vista with no info.

Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller is the other, BUT smart start CD failed so I'm thinking its looking for that compaq BIOS so it's a NO GO

Both are for Ultra2 Wide SCSI

 

[Bytor]

Here's a pic of my old VooDoo 5 5500...

I also have a complete Commodore 64 setup I'll try and get pic's of...

 

[Deleted member 38767]

...With 512MB of some fast EDO 66Mhz ram...

I used to have one of those on my key chain 'till a month ago or so. Need to see if it's still some where around home and I'll get a picture for you.

 

[psyko12]

Sorry for blurry pic old pent pro

 

[DaMulta]

Woot Woot got it working with the unlisted PRL XP/2k Driver

That card isn't even listed on their site.....vista 32bit is installing ATM

I should been in the clear now.
