Re: 1999 - Dream Machine

Nice machine. I love PIII's. In the last 12 years I've gone from MMX's to K6's, PIII's, P4's, Athlon 64s and Phenoms currently. But I always have a PIII running around despite retiring the later P4 and Athlon machines. You might want to check out jtLeon's machine too. It's really quite incredible. …

Just to follow up on this: The machine is still running fine. I ended up removing the SCSI HDD, it was causing major system instabilities, loud & slow. I installed a 80gb Seagate, very well made HDD, even has ESD protection built in & is very quite, was a good model, had it lying around. I also …

an honest waste could have bought new lappy if i had all that money at once. Yeah you probably right. But its fun to rebuild an old machine, also that computer you bought would probably be "old" now too, but not old enough to be fun! Haha Oh, you know I broke one of the plastic clips on the lappy …

Yes the bios on mine was a pain!! I am pretty sure it was F10 to enter the bios.... that's if you still have the bios partition on the hard drive of course (no chip bios in these i'm afraid!). I remember wiping my drive once and i lost the bios partition! but the laptop can still operate without …

I remember when i used to have one of those :happyhappy: I soon got rid of it though as the screen was abysmal for gaming :disapproving: big black borders and a very poor response time! Nice features for it's time but in my opinion the screen was a total let down (only if it was used for gaming). …

Compaq Armada OLD SCHOOL Netbook

It could have been a Netbook in it's time, then again it has no Networking devices...haha...my point is it's a cute, tiny laptop. Great condition, it will be used for Linux & my CCNA class, Terminal & remote access as it has a serial interface. http://images.fixya.com/C/Compaq/177x150/20111132.JPG …

This may be a dumb question, but I have a spare SB16 CT2940 with an ATAPI IDE port on it, and I want to install it alongside my SB16 CT2230 just so that I can use the ATAPI IDE controller on it (I noticed recently that the proprietary CDROM drive was starting to die, and I have tons of IDE CDROM …

LOL with Blood it was 3DFX, with Blood 2 it's AMD, damn! Monolith always blaming someone why their code doesn't get finished! My first computer was a K6-2 500MHz with 64MB & later on a PCI TNT card to replace my onboard AGP, funny it was onboard AGP yet there was no port. I loved it though, it was …
