Winchip C6 240mhz and a Winchip2 233mhz.

Either way, I wouldn't buy any Pentium 60MHz system. The first Pentium chips were known for division bugs and they don't offer much more performance than a fast 486. Pentiums started to be worth having at 90Mhz and up, and personally I wouldn't buy any Pentium under 133MHz if you plan to run Windows 95.
Pentiums started getting really good once they hit 150-166mhz. Before then, performance was still mediocre. 150-166mhz was the point where a lot of people finally gave up their fast 486/5x86 systems. I went from 486 to Pentium 150 because that was a big enough jump ahead for me to justify the money to upgrade. Slower Pentiums were a lot of money for questionable benefits for a lot of people.
But.. it's the "vIntage-ness" of the Gateway 2000 brand and knowing it's the first (crappy) Pentium CPU in there.
Socket 4 pentiums with the FDIV bug are actually fairly uncommon as they were recalled by Intel. I had a P60 that did not have the bug. I found that a Dx4-100 roughly matched it for general usage and 2d games. However, 3d games like quake were much faster on the P60 due to the stronger FPU.

Good score!
Silpheed too. Bargain!

Ridiculous to you, a bargain to me. Once again, it's the fact that this was the "OG" Creative Labs card. Not to mention, it's a complete boxed version with Silpheed which makes it rare. I already have several CT-1320C cards, one (boxed) with original CMS chips and one with some added Philips chips - same with the 1350B, which is much more common and doesn't have the 'cool' factor of the original Sound Blaster.

Not all games work on a Sound Blaster + CMS chips...
I also think the price is totally fair considering I have never ever even seen a Game Blaster or CMS on eBay...
luckily they work in dosbox 😀

Haven't purchased something for ages, but when I saw this on eBay Australia, it was mine 😎
Yes, it's another Super Socket 7 board. This one is from Gigabyte.
I will be using this for my upcoming YT video: Building a DOS gaming time machine.
GA5-AX....so nice and stable. Good find!
Easily one of the best SS7 boards. Still, I run into trouble with it. The semi-final revision apparently slows the Voodoo 3 PCI down. Quite a bit too. The AGP version works like charm though and I know because I had two such boards and both had the same problem.
Also, my V2 cards showed noticable artifacts and I think also crashed on one of my boards. Didn't really try them out too much though, I think this was with a GeForce 2 MX on the AGP bus.

Firstly, because it's a lot rarer than a CT1350 and secondly, it's complete in box and you don't find them that way very often anymore. This card is almost as hard to find as an Adlib and you practically never see an Adlib CIB. It's actually harder to find than a Gravis Ultrasound and you see what those go for unboxed.

More often than you might think. These are just the ones that I've noticed...

I've got two CMS/game blasters, complete in box, they're not SUPER rare.

Gimme one!!! Gimme!!!
TBH i'd be happy today with a CT1320 or a CT1350 with CMS upgrade but these are getting ridiculously expensive.

You call that often? 2 in 2005,1 in 2006,2 in 2007 and then it's 2011 before the next one. There's usually 4 or 5 GUS for sale at any one time on ebay. So you found 11 Gameblasters over an 8 year time span and only 8 of them were actually CIB which averages to 1 CIB a year and you have to figure that 1 or 2 of those will be ones that sold previously being resold for profit. That is definitely NOT common.

Bought these (retro) hardware today
