which was released approximately two years later, the gaming performance is pretty much 2,5 times better according to 3DMark99. That is simply a huge leap. I don't see 2.5 better gaming performance as a huge leap for hardware that was released two years later. This is actually a difference you …

I installed P3 Coppermine 800/100 MHz and Leadtek GF2 GTS to my Slot 1 machine to give it a bit more oomph. I needed to fiddle little bit with the heatsink of the processor. It had these plastic attachment clips and one of them was slightly broken, which meant that there was practically zero …

I didn't wrote that. but it won't be enough for most Atlhons or P4 computers. You don't need strong 5v rail on P4. True for both. I forgot that …

I have Corsair CX450M 450W PSU in my Slot 1 system. CX450M has 110W combined for both 3.3V and 5V rails and max 20A for both. That should be fine for all PII and at least most PIII systems, but it won't be enough for most Atlhons or P4 computers. Like Serpent Rider wrote, you need at least 30A or …

Possibly the power switch part was made of a different ABS with higher bromite content. My thoughts exactly. I still find it peculiar, that it is for some reason the only (and small) part of the chassis to get that treatment. In my experience, the three main criteria for OS compatibility are RAM, …

I actually picked these yesterday evening, but here it goes: HP Vectra VL2 4/66 16MB 540MB (40€) and ATi Mach 32 VLB (25€). https://i.imgur.com/hHOpdAB.jpg Vectra is in excellent shape, weirdly the power switch area only is somewhat yellowed, otherwise the case is in beautiful condition. Only weird …

I got this lot for 20€. Everything has been working when they have been removed from computers back in the day and stored indoors, but only optical drives have been tested recently and SHOULD work. Most of it is pretty underwhelming, but for the price, I can't complain. https://i.imgur.com/puotyxS. …

Presario4110.jpg I just brought home this Presario 4110EA from 2001. Seller bought it for his mom back in the day pretty much only for internet banking and it most likely has uptime more in dozens than hundreds of hours. It is in excellent condition apart from slight yellowing on the top of the …

it looks very industrial with that arrangement of heatsinks ^^ I love it. Whole machine is very similar; its design and build quality is top notch and very little compromises was made. They were also extremely expensive. Unix workstations of the past from Sun, SGI etc are fascinating machines, but …

Second Ultra Sparc II 450MHz processor card for my Ultra 60. Processor card is without the plastic shroud in the picture. It is quite a beast compared to for example Slot 1 processors of the same era. Filename SPARC_processor.jpg File size 1.62 MiB Views 760 views
