Yet another fun item from the great PPro hardware haul of 2018. This time we are going squeaky clean, sealed and new. As always, to keep with the theme, a number between 150 and 200 (the range of speeds the Pentium Pro came in). First correct guess gets the prize. Guess every fifteen minutes. …
Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?

I thought I'd make a PC for Morrowind. It's got a Pentium 4 1.8GHz Northwood, 512MB DDR RAM, MX440 running Windows 98. I might upgrade it to a 4200ti which is reasonably priced on eBay. Except I accidentally put a 2.4GHz Northwood in their instead and only found out when I ran CPU-Z. Eugh... Not …

Thank you. I'll look into modifying it to look like the newer Pentium stickers where silver stickers were used. I haven't ordered silver/metallic sticker paper yet, but when I order a set of it soon, I'll definitely post a photo of the results (as well as a photo of replicas of other metallic Intel …

Wait... What adapter is that? Never seen one before, and is that for a Socket 8 motherboard that converts it to Socket 370 with the voltage regulation for the processors? That is really weird to see that. That is exactly what it is, Out of the box it only takes Mendocino Celerons but with the use …

Yeah, I was planning on giving it away in the Discord channel via a contest, but before I did, scan it in so everyone could make their own down the road. I think what I will do is just scan it in at a very high DPI, as is, and then someone with good graphics skills can make their own from the scan. …

They wanted $10 each. I may go back for the F-19, but the F-15 Strike Eagle II had a severely caved in box from something sitting on it. The Prince of Persia 3D I did grab @ $7.50 for xjas and it just by chance was factory sealed and in very good shape.

So I have this one unused case badge (so far) for the Pentium Pro from the mega haul. Would everyone like me to do a high resolution scan of it so others can make their own? What DPI? I was thinking 1200. Should I leave it unused when I scan it or sacrifice it to put it on a white background? I've …

The Abit I am positive is a no, but as far as the PR-440FX or a model with FSB OC may reveal itself in time. Inventory is not done yet.

@liqmat: SO tempted to get you to grab that Prince 3D; rare as hell to see one in a big box rather than jewel case only. But shipping would be far more than that game is worth. :P Neat find though! I gave up on my aspirations of a complete Prince of Persia collection when I realized how many junk/ …

Another Pentium Pro celebration giveaway. Number between 150 and 200. First correct guess gets this Pentium Pro motherboard with a Pentium Pro 180 CPU and HSF. Guess every 15 minutes and you must have a U.S. mailing address since shipping is free. This is given in as-is untested condition, but it …
