Maybe I have been spoiled by the new series, but I tried to watch one of the older episodes recently and fell asleep. +1 :D Was McGann the Doctor after Sylvester McCoy but before the revived 2005 series with Chris Eccleston? Exactly. He had an aristocratic face :) And I can't say why exactly, but I …

I started to notice Applejack using the phrase "What the heck" from time to time, it struck me during season 3. Urban dictionnary states that it is a fusion of the words hell and **ck. It is used by saying "What the heck!" as a stand-in for hell or **ck but is really worse than saying "What the hell …

I'm not as much a hardcore fan as you guys, I've seen the very first two episodes with William Hartnell, which did not impress me, and all the media that came since the appearance of Paul McGann. I have a lot of fun watching Star Trek The Original series, which runs almost beyond slowest pace I can …

Checked up the database, the pictures show 16M parity modules, 60ns, 16Mx1 structure. As we're talking about 30-pin SIMM (I thought, you had more common 72-pin slots), you do have to insert 4 same sticks of RAM into each bank. Or are we talking about 486DLC? Pictures of CPU and motherboard would be …

I would restrict internet access until the age of 16. By that time I'd assume my child has a head of his own. I might be the only one here to say this, and this might be the first time I confess at all. I first saw porn at the age of 8. It had a huge impact on my life, so huge I still remember all …

Show us the pictures of chips with clear marking. The size of FPM RAM stick, unlike EDO, is determined by the smallest stick in the bank.

What's wrong with trident? They were sluggish, but compatible. The only game I could not get to run on a 386 with Trident 9000 was Digger.

Over past weeks it's been -30...-40C outside, which resulted in quite an overload in central heating systems. As the temperature went back to -20C, it became hotter in our flat. That was when I realized my Voodoos were not propperly cooled. There's just not enough cooling options in this desktop …

Really Morrowind should've had more of these enemies. Once you're at level 50 or so and you can kill anything in 2-3 hits, every enemy just turns into an annoyance. But the strong emotional response these things consistently manage to invoke in me is unmatched. I'm currently at level 23 an able to …

Along with minimalistic motherboard design, these were probably one of the cost-cutting solutions for late 386DX-40, which stil sold in quantity around 1995. With prices dropping, they were harder and harder to sell. One less similar card to these two is Trident TVGA9000i-3 I got with my first retro …

Post not relevant anymore >> Did it have memory chips on both sides? If yes, than it's definitely a 12MB card. Otherwise, your buyer is right.
