Looking for Dell Optiplex GXa Video Memory enhancement card

Hi guys, I'm looking for a video memory enhancement card for Dell Optiplex GXa. The mainboard has already 2MB installed, but I found it a bit too small and thus I'm looking for the expansion. Does anybody has any serial numbers or even want to sell/trade such card? There are some labels on the slot: …

Wow! You got me with this Compaq Presario All in One. This is a computer from my childhood, I've been looking for the same for quite a bit, but the prices are high. That 486 died but I do have the Pentium 75 variant and all the original installation disks and CD. Hmm, that's sad news, what happened …

While I've been in Poland I've bought these PC cases. These are brand new! Our local shop "ProLine" put huge discount on some "outdated" products. These are brand new, packed in an original cartoon package. I'm stunned. The price for 4 PC cases was ~ 47 USD. https://i.ibb.co/CVP7X3B/dav.jpg https:// …

@up - thanks, how much do you want for the VRM? Also I think there is no need to use sophisticated cooling solution, just bare S370 heatsink (no cooler) will do the job. The SCSI drive is dead now (click of death). Interestingly I was able to boot the OS once and check the contents of HDD - it was …

The system fan and hard drive fans have been cleaned. The bearings are now filled with oil and are much more quiet. But there is also a bad news. Probably the SCSI 18gig drive is dead. https://i.ibb.co/qgXK0dG/IMG-20200102-191747.jpg https://i.ibb.co/kG3SCx4/IMG-20200102-191802.jpg Note to the mod: …

I've just received a Compaq Proliant ML350 G1 server. It is equipped with 1GHz Pentium III processor (one socket is populated, one empty). I got this for something like $45 incl shipping (shipping was $ 18). That was an amazing occasion, I couldn't miss it! Take a loot at the pictures. https://i.ibb …

I got plenty of CRT's, most of them are 15 and 17 inches. It is quite easy to find them but the 19" versions are really rare. I suggest you to take a look at the local trade/exchange sites where people puts photos and very simple description and you take it or it will be dumped.

I was just a stupid child. I had Compaq Presario CDS 522 all in one equipped with AM486 SX2 @ 66 MHz. I was curious what's inside, then started to unscrew the backside and so on. That day I ended up with non functional and disassembled Presario, the wires were cut, so almost no chance to fix for me …

Nice scores. I did some testing on my Toshiba Portege 7200 equipped with Pentium 3 @ 650 MHz and my scores are lower :dead: That's probably because of the mobile version, but anyway impressing. I plan to build something similar, but 512 MB is a must for me. Sadly, I don't have Voodoo 3, instead …

Maybe those files are discarded during processing because of some mismatching format - I don't know. This application needs to be run under debugger in order to get the information what is going on 😀 Sorry but I don't have enough time.
