I read 67MHz too, but why so many different MHz LED's, do you suppose I can change the speed using the buttons on the front of the case? I don't think so. My guess is the top portion of the display is a fancy Turbo display, but probably still the same basic turbo functionality underneath. The …

Looks like a very early 486 system because of the apparent lack of local bus - ISA only it seems. Board says 1992 so it must be early '92 and therefore a DX33? My guess is a 486 DX2-66 because it has a heatsink and fan, and it seems that awesome front panel display says 67 MHz or am I reading it …

grabbed this off Craigslist today for $35. its in kind of in rough shape and the keyboard is likely going to need replaced or a lot of work done but it booted up ok with the right disks and has over 1mb of ram installed, not bad for sitting in the guys garage for the last 15+ years. Don't forget to …

I love the Aopen! I sold heaps of those back in the day :) That one and the MSI K7 Pro. Back then did you have any idea that these things would be sought after again 15 years later? At that time I was into computers, but purely from a consumer POV and to me anything that was outdated was useless …

That Edirol looks exactly like a SC-55 but white. Didn't know they released a SC-55 under the Edirol brand, or is it another module?

Naturally. Stepping are different on these two. What exactly they have changed in the CPU's are unknown to me. Hmmm.... Corporate secrets I guess. I can't find anything for shure. The one I have seems to be slightly older, and considering they raised the VCore on the newer one I wonder if mine is …

I just want to remove the cpu from the socket. any ideas? Yes, use something thin and strong (a small screwdriver will do) and gently insert it between the socket and the CPU and then wiggle it a bit. Repeat the process for other spots around the CPU until it's loose enough you can pull it out with …

The whole price thing has been getting out of hand for a while.

Everyone seems to have finally decided that "Old = BIG MONEY" down here. I think that's a global problem ;) I remember buying lots of old console videogames for cheap between 2007-2012 and now even the crappy common ones cost a lot. Same thing with old PC hardware. I think that big box PC games …

The motherboard is an QDI Explorer II i430VX board with 256KB cache, the CPU is a 3.5x multi capable Pentium MMX of unknown speed grade. 66MHz x 3.5 = 233MHz I'd say. That motherboard seems to be pretty good. I have two of those and the automatic detection of CPU sucks (it tends to default to a …

/\ For those machines having the setup floppies handy (at least their images) is a good idea. That way you can access the setup utility whether the setup partition is accessible or not. Exactly! But when I bought it it didn't come with those floppies, which is a terrible oversight. It also didn't …

And also try an OpenGL application. The usual 3D Windows screensavers will do, but a game is preferable.
