Finally got around in getting this bad boy running: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/goodbye,389-2.html
The fan was dead but came back to live after butting a drop of motor oil on the bearings. Seems like the old ABIT fans used some kind of grease that gets very hard over time and seizes the fan.

DEC Powerstorm 4D50T (MSMT406) aka underclocked Intergraph RealiZm Z13 sold for DEC workstations. But finally have texture memory modules (16MB) for mine RealiZm Z13 and RealiZm II ZX13.
Great! I have a Powerstorm 4D60T on my AlphaStation but I not able to find the texture dimm's.... where you found it?

What about consecutive serial numbers? It's the nightmare level of obsession that has already struck me 😒
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
What if you get 4 with matching serial numbers.... but 2 of the chips have different date codes on! Muhuhahaaaaa.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
but seriously, as long as they all look the same at a glance, I will survive.

I have a 4D60T that came with 64MB (2 x 32MB) texture memory. the model no. on the mem sticks is MSMT346. Hopefully that's helpful.
Bought the newest components I own... Intel i5 2500K + Gigabyte P67A-UD3 🤣
Will see what to do with it actually. My main desktop machine is Phenom II X6 1055t. 2500K is faster but in the end I don't even use the desktop machine anymore. 1055t is collecting dust in Antec P182 and everything inside... But it will be fun putting it together and playing some "old" games from 200X - like Test Drive Unlimited on Logitech DFGT. Not sure what is the fastest vga card in my collection - HD6870 or GTX470 😊
Requests are also possible... /msg kixs
Recently I bought Ark 2000PV as it seems to be the fastest DOS card. When I found 1000PV on the net I decided to buy it to compare it with 2000PV.
The conclusion is interesting. It is exacly the same fast as 2000PV (in dos games like Doom - tested on Phil's benchmark set). Do you know what is the difference then between 1000PV and 2000PV if the fps results are the same?
The second card I got today is AdLib clone with Goldstar chip, by date on sticker I think it's from '91-'92. Card is "virgin new" without any scratches on ISA from inserting it to slot.

Consecutive serial numbers? Now that's a hard one to pull off with 4 sticks. I had a few back when I bought 500+ sticks to part out. But not 4 consecutive serials, just two.
I did how ever buy two 750mhz 100fsb Piii from two sellers in deferent regions on ebay and some how they had consecutive serial numbers. Talk about lucky.
From online classified ads. Was crazy happy since it was my first purchase. Guy wanted $5 but I gave him $6.
Optical drive, Radeon 9550, and antec 300w psu all good for my win98 build. Not sure what else I can use from the computer since mb is most likely 2000/xp and up.
how do you guys/gals post small pictures that can be supersized?

Wait... AGP 8x AND PCI-E as well as DDR-400 AND DDR2-667 support? That's one sweet looking board for an LGA775 board, which is interesting. Also, use Imgur, and there might be a resize option somewhere.

Buyed together with that card on ebay from English rebubrished parts selling company. They had it in offer more than year without succes, so i was able to decrease price a little. Before you ask, they had only one piece....
I guess that getting memory modules without card would be impossible. Sadly these are working only on Realizm 1.3 card. Realizm II card again shows message, that memory is too slow, so it needs different even faster modules.... 😵 (was hoping, that they will work on both cards)

🤣 -LOL
Something with AGP and PCI-E is already considered to be retro?

What the actual fuk? A double-sided video card? That's oddly satisfying, especially the Future CPU board (which is useful without buying another board to upgrade). That'll be my future build for Windows XP or so.
