No, my hometown was Galați, Romania. I've been reading through this whole thread and the last couple pages have been so much fun to read! it took me back to the 90s and all the fun conversations i had in the school yard. I actually guess you were from Romania based on your earlier hint. Odessa, …

$10 for a pizza before the turn of the century, in Eastern Europe (I presume Poland by your nickname)? Damn, that must've been quite a large Pizza. :-D Now that you said it It sure looked weird, so I googled :) Pizza Hut 1994 flyer Exchange 1:23000, average monthly salary in 1994 5-6 millions, $220 …

GeForce2MX was my card after the Voodoo 3 as well, although mine was the MX400. One year later I upgraded to a GeForce 2 Ti and passed my MX to my sister. She played many hours of Dungeon Keeper 2 on it. After the Geforce2 MX I remember I read a lot about the Kyro II and what it meant as a new …

Sorry all for necro'ing this thread but I've been looking for a solution to my question all day without any clear advice. How do I clean the rust off of the actual vga port of a pci video card? It works but it's getting rough to plug into and i don't want flakes to get into the case or pins etc. …

Thank you SO much. I spent a couple hours looking for this, how/where ever did you find this?? Sorry, that was a problem of my own making - on the driver download page I listed earlier I omitted to check all the sub-links actually went somewhere useful and in this case the modem link wasn't …

I now know the video card and sound card for this laptop: it has a Silicon Motion LynxEM 4mb video card and a ESS Maestro 2E PCI sound card, i googled them and downloaded the correct versions, i now just need to know how to get the DOS compatibility for the Maestro 2e to work. I know it's been …

Not OP but I recall those days and have fond memories of that far away place. If you have any links, or tips to finding such treasures on the Internet Archive, it would make me sing with joy. Don't you think that's a huge topic better left for its own thread? I'm sure there have been many articles …

A long time ago in the far away time of the mid-1990 I had bought a number of CD-ROMs that had collections of DOS and Windows 3.1 software, they included drivers, freeware, and shareware, many of them can be now be downloaded at the Internet Archive. Not OP but I recall those days and have fond …

The Prolinea 4/33 was the first computer my family ever owned. I think I was about 10 when my dad bought it brand new. The machine originally came with the DX-33, 4MB RAM, a 170mb hard drive, and ran DOS 5 with Windows 3.1. If you haven't already, make sure to remove the onboard barrel battery!! As …

I didn't even know there were low profile cards back then. Official low profile cards didn't exist. More like cards with small PCB's. I put the CF card reader in my cramped isa slot bay, they are really small. DX2/66 with VLB is considered the classic 486 by a lot of people. so you can still even …

Curious what CPU is currently on the motherboard ? I could be wrong but think a DX2-66 may be the fastest you can install but that depends on the board revision. Can you take a good picture of the motherboard and attach it here ? (try to keep the image size to 1Mb) Currently there is a DX-33, I am …

I am getting some more parts for this together planning to make it my DOS machines (with some light 3.1 usability). The lack of PCI slot really holds this guy back. I picked up a GD5428 2mb ISA video card and a ES1868F ISA sound card with a Secondary IDE port on it that I'm really looking forward. …

Hello All, First, a little background, I discovered this forum a few months ago when I decided to build a 90s gaming PC to relive my youth. Since then I lurked and read a whole ton of articles and discussions and learned A LOT. I completed my late 90s build (PIII 1Ghz, Voodoo3000, TNT2, etc). The …
