and few days ago another important thing for me - GFD, now testing a it works fine 😀

so lot of fun can start

Wow, that's... impressive! Does the case get destroyed to access the golden fingers?

That's... that's a lot of Athlons. Hmmm.

What's that gizmo with the dipswitches do? Can you change clocks and such with it on the fly?

no plastic part is without damage, I found nice way how dissasembly it ... video will be soon

yep you can change multiplier and voltage
I just made 1ghz+ with this first 750mhz TB 😀

Got this for $50 from Goodwill. I thought it'd be a fun for an XP build, even if I don't use any of the parts.

Humbly requesting more pictures. Maybe use it for another rig?

Bought Duke Nukem 3D in big box, got ripped off and it was actually just a jewel case when it arrived. Returned/refunded. Also bought Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition in hologram big box.. same thing when it arrived it was just a jewel case. Returned refunded. Some sellers are freaking retarded trying to make a buck..

While waiting for the BlasterBoard to finish, I decided that with the 386 I wanted not only AdLib, but als SoundBlaster capabilities. So I got this card. My first sound card actually was a Jazz16 based one. So this is pretty nostalgic for me. I do not see any jumpers for ports or IRQ. Do I need some Jazz16 drivers for this card then?

Drivers and...

Holy Athlon slots! 😮 That's an epic collection right there. I'd be really nervous cracking any of mine open. 😵 I'm looking forward to seeing how far you can push them.

no plastic part is without damage, I found nice way how dissasembly it

They're almost identical to original Pentium II Katmai plastic cover.

I love the styling on that case; that's a very nice find, my friend! 😊

this is possible, coolers are same too

One of my rigs had an CT1600 for some time now (instead of EWS64 before). But the soundquality wasn't that great and in addition I wanted a card with wavetable-header. So I bought an Terratec-made OEM Card: TT1816. Soundquality is way better than the sb pro 2, but of course there is a big downside to everything: no real opl3 onboard 😒

An A-Trend ATC-6631 (OPL3-SAx) will suffice, depending upon your region.

That collection of slot A Athlons is incredible - also amazing that with all of those you didn't have one goldfinger 😜 But that's great that you have it now.

I ended up buying a couple of 'junk' lots and a few other nice things because no-one else bid, or because the discount was just too hard to ignore. At least with this pentium pro board, I can finally use my 32MB parity gold-contacts EDO simms:

I decided that for only £26, it was worth a go - I may regret that but I haven't tested it yet so I don't know?? I paid about the same for the processor - it's so sad to see that most talk about the pentium pro these days is about melting it down for gold 🙁

The real reason I bought 4x Slot 1 motherboards and some random Socket A motherboard:

And my favourite purchase of all - a Compaq LS120 multibay drive - which fits nicely into my USB 2.0 multibay caddy - this thing reads floppies even quicker than that IDE superdisk drive I posted about the other week, it's practically one of the last superdisk drives ever made (around 2001):

The thing on top of it is a 2GB SATA Disk on Module (with adapter) for my AST 486 that has proven to be super picky about its storage - I have a 3.2GB regular IDE drive in there right now but the noise from it drives me mad

Nice haul. Are those two Intel OEM slot 1 boards MU440EX? Certainly looks like it, with the onboard Ati Rage & Yamaha XG sound.
