The 2 daughter boards on the bottom are from Condoplex and looking them up seem's like they are for condo security units. So, I'm going to assume it was my condo that through this system out.

I grabbed the system from the electronics dump, with only a few people giving me very weird looks.... :neutral: I'll post some pictures tonight and disect the system, family life has kept me from cracking it open but I'll play around with it this evening and let you know what's all in it. Off memory …
486 in ATX from trash
Posted on 2014-07-13, 07:53
My building is having their annual electronics toss out this weekend, and so I've been dropping down to see what's being tossed out. I found a black ATX case and wanted the video card, but when I opened it up there was a 486 DX/33 in there on a Dell motherboard, I assume socket 3..?? It has all ISA …

Posted on 2014-07-05, 14:24
I just picked up basically the same setup, AOpen AX6BC with a Slot 1 P3-500, it's going to replace a K6-2 550 that's running horribly slow.

K6 Mobile cpu?
Posted on 2014-07-04, 23:39
I ordered a K6-2 300/AFR-66 cpu off ebay, what the seller sent me was a K6 300/ADZ 2.1V mobile cpu. I've tried to contact the seller but he's not replying and won't take refunds. I know I could take this further and I might, but I first have to wait for him to ship something else I had bought off …
New Win95 build, mouse issues.
Posted on 2014-07-04, 06:18
Having some mouse issues. I just tossed together a 2nd system, was suppose to be a K6-2 300 but ebay seller sent wrong CPU, so for now it's a 233mmx. Anyways, I got Windows 95 C installed, along with all the drivers, chipset drivers, SB16 (CT2940) drivers, ATI Mach 64 (Rage II 3D) drivers... and …

This is a super socket 7 motherboard, fully supports the 100mhz bus. My ram is also running at 100mhz and is certified for 100mhz so I doubt the bottleneck is there. I've checked and re-checked all the jumper settings for this board, all the bios settings are correct. HDD doesn't thrash, no bad …

Ok, here's a benchmark with SiSoft Sandra 99. I'm using 128mb PC100 memory and the memory benchmark score is slower then even a Pentium MMX with EDO... though on a TX Chipset. VIA chipsets aren't exactly known for their performance. I installed 3DMark 99 but I can't seem to get it running yet. First …

Well, after seeing that HL Benchmark seem's like a strong Pentium II or III makes more sense for this line of gaming. I did originally run it on my own P2-350. The thing about this system is I'm trying to keep it with an era, and so I didn't want something super fast, nor Pentium 75. It's going to …

No, I wish, I've been keeping my eye out for voodoo card at a reasonable price without too much luck. I almost won a PCI V3-3000 the other day until the seller ended it early for some reason and another user had already outbid me. I'm not sure I want to go with a Voodoo 2 though, I prefer the all in …

Ok, so now that the system is up and running with Windows 98se, I gave Half Life 1 Uplink demo a try but the performance seem's off... or maybe it's normal? I'm testing the system on a 17" LCD @1024, however it'll be used on a 17" CRT, and Half Life demo was run at 1024 using OpenGL. What I noticed …
New K6-2 Super 7 Build with TNT2
Posted on 2014-06-29, 01:15
Just finished tossing together this K6-2 550 system. Originally I had a K6-2 400 to drop in but since it wouldn't post I had to go with the 550. I also have a 40GB Maxtor however it fails to see the drive so I've had to go with a 6GB WD Cavier. The board I'm using has the Via MVP3 chip set, not one …

doesn't surprise me to see most people on here are in their 30's. Anyone in their 30's would have that nostalgia for the 386/486/Pentium PC's of their kid/teen days. Anyone in their 40's and 50's probably stick to the Commodore's 🤣
Re: TNT 16mb too fast for early 90's?
Posted on 2014-06-22, 06:34
by older games, what are we talking about...?? I know games like Kings Quest 1 etc... have issues on anything faster than 286 or so, but those games I"m not interested in playing. When I say early 90's Sierra, I mean only the VGA & VGA remakes, from Kings Quest, QFG, Police Quest... Gabriel Knight, …
TNT 16mb too fast for early 90's?
Posted on 2014-06-20, 23:10
I have a system built but with a few modifications I want to make, but I'm not sure which would be the best route. Faster or Slower. My goal with the system is all the Sierra games from early 90's to mid 90's, Kings Quest etc... Gab Knight... all of them, but as well including all the FMV games of …

I've gotten back into the "hoarding" of parts but for me I do keep it on a marked line so to speak. I know the parts I'm after, because for me it's more about the nostalgia then just everything old. Although we did have a C64, and 386, the first real PC my dad bought was an NEC Ready 9712 166MMX. My …
