Hi guys,

Last month I swore I won't spend any money this year on old(shit/crap) hardware, but I found these and I just couldn't resist... just couldn't... I know, I'm weak. But I guess I'm not the only one here...

I've picked up these RAM modules for the 30 pin SIMMs(1Mb modules - Siemens HYM 91000L-70) and for the IBM EDO DIMMs(32 Mb 60ns 5V modules). The rest is bonus.

Here I have:

AMD K6-2/500AFX
AMD K6/266AFR
Celeron 566 SL46T
Celeron 633 SL4PA

Pentium4 1.8GHz SL66Q

AMD Am486 DX4-100 A80486DX4-100NV8T
Intel 486 DX2-66 SX911
Pentium 166 MMX SL239
I've had in my collection of CPUs only three of these chips...

These where two separate lots from the same seller, so I asked him if he has some other "old stuff". He said yes, and I picked up the following...

2 ISA sound cards - Yamaha YMF719E-S and OPTI 82C931(took it for the shape)
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO AGP 128 Mb from Connect3D - the card looks brand new, only one of the two plastic pins from the heatsink is broken...

This 286 mainboard is in great shape, it was only a little bit dusty. It has a 12 MHz AMD CPU. Maybe I could find some info later and fire it up...

Gigabyte GA-6BXC rev 2.0, it should support CPUs up to 950 MHz/1 GHz, if I recall correctly... This one too is in great shape...

Everything was around 63 Euros/77 USD, shipping included. That's why I couldn't resist buying all of this...
Now I need to find some time for testing/playing with these goodies 😀
PS: two more AT cases including power supplies, FDDs, HDDs and optical drives are on their way for really cheap

Going to use it on a Pentium II build.

2x 486 cpu removal tool..

SIS driver diskette anno 1995.. Iam guessing its for the SIS501 motherboard or perhaps SIS5511. Iam almost certain its not for 486.

~ At least it can do black and white~

He always finds amazing cards that I wish I had, but money is tight with Christmas coming up, car repairs that are needed, and other things. The big VooDoo 2 card is icing on the cake.

When you have money, people find you.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

I really like the GC controller! Coincidentally I took out my GameCube from storage a few days ago, to fit a XenoGC in it... Originally bought it in a bundle with a memory card and Super Smash Bros Melee back in high school, played for around two hours and packed it away, since I already had an XBOX and a Dreamcast at the time, and no interest in Nintendo or spending more money in games. While totally unused for all these years, not only the grey plastic panel with the ports (and part of the fitted memory card!) has yellowed a lot, but also it wouldn't read Super Smash 🙁 Took it apart, fitted the chip, tweaked the laser pot a bit and it's as good as new, I'm playing F-Zero GX lately!

For use in a Pentium 2/3.

I guess the 5700LE wouldn't be a bad buy for 10...I really don't like any of those options, but I'm more of a power snob...

The answer to this will largely depend on what you aim for. For example, if you want period correct then the TNT2 Pro, MX400 and Savage4 are your friends. If you just want the best performance, the FX5200 and FX5700LE are basically the same thing, bottom of the barrel of a family of cards 3 generations from the future but would have decent compatibility with P2/3 era games. The MX440 will be a good middleground between performance and compatibility - it should, for all intents and purposes, act about as fast as a GeForce2 GTS, which is a pretty good target for a P2 system and early P3 system.
