I built my first processor curcuit on a 8086 (sniff) brings back old memories.
Discreet chips for logic gates, wires sticking everywhere ... see my avatar

My uncle could do with some for his band to do research on. And I could probably find a use for the others.

I'll have a good look through it later, and post it/pm you, im not sure what entirely is there, there could be even more (its just a great big box of old gear), i tested one of the boards and it all worked ok, and have tried 5 of the p2's in it)

as for the server, its huge and heavy, and has no hard drives (its scsi only, more annoying as i gave away a 13gb scsi hd + controller card last month)

it looks like this (minus the scsi cages + door)

Thanks.... I did this back in MAY. I figured there had been some people that didnt see this yet

Yes, and I am one of them who missed this. Thanks, you have inspired me to start collecting. :toast:

Edit: Hey D44ve, ever heard of the i960 RISC chip?

That's fine. TBH, my uncle will take whatever he can get ATM. Besides, it'll kick start me as IT Engineer if it breaks down

Cool, I´m a few months older than this INTEL 4004. :toast:

Funny feeling somehow.

actually, it all started with the abacus back in ancient egypt. then, of course, the eniac. then ibm during wwii creating counting machines for hitler. so it DIDNT start with the 4004, or even intel for that matter, companies such as ge were creating vacuum tube processors in the 50's...

No specs on the Pentium Pro? It's only the godliest CPU ever...... It was basically a Pentium II with full speed cache (godly), and no MMX. They should have took that design and ran with it.

imperialreign · Oct 27, 2007

Last CPU I had before I fired a mobo and went on a 3-4 year hiatus from PC's was a Pentium Pro 400MHz w/ MMX. Awesome proc.

I remember having a 286 CPU, though, and a 386, too :laugh:

compare 20MHz then to 3-4GHz now, just within the last 15 years.

Although . . . I still miss the old C64. Bulletproof.

If I remember right, the Pros only went up to 200, maybe 233Mhz. And had no MMX. BUTT, you could get one of them great "Overdrive" kits that sat between the zif and the cpu. The overdrive basically turned the Pro into a Pentium II by adding MMX and increasing the MHZ of the cpu. The P2s and the Pros used almost identical mobo chipsets too, I think it was something like 440FX or 440BX.

These were the glory days of my computing, I was only 14 years old when I got my first computer in 1996 for Christmas. For only $2700 my dad got me a Gateway2000 180Mhz Pentium Pro, 32Mb EDO RAM (upgradable to 256Mb), 2.5Gb HD, Matrox Mystique 2Mb video capable of displaying 3D in 640x480x16 OMFG! Back when guys like you and me actually would buy a Gateway or Dell because they KICKED ASS. I put a Diamond Monster sound PCI sound car in there, and a RivaTNT 16MB PCI, and an extra 16Mb of edo I stole from school, lol. I was Playing Half life on that beast flawlessly, probably at 25 FPS.

lol this is great want to know something sad the i286 is still used on the international spacestation :roll:
