I do the same thing but with blueberries and wine. Then put it into a pie shell. Its orgasmic.

unless is a special snowflake power supply its worthless. its cheaper, easier, and better for your old equipment to use a new quality supply. My favorites are the corsair builder series.

Nobody cares. do it. Now if you start making money at it, someone somewhere might care. Depending on how much you make.

Does my micro atx garage setup count? I normally would not consider is a "tiny pc", but it does have dual quad xeons. ^.^

I would not buy anything from that seller. I don't care if he is selling the cure for cancer.

NT4 or 2000. old games did not support them, so the 2nd processor will do little. However, in 2k it will help with overhead and background tasks when able. Also those or840's are overpriced. wait for a deal. But the advantage was agp 4x on pentium 3, not a common thing. if agp 4/8 is required you …

from what I remember the LIVE! cards were very good. I dont remember anyone ever having any real issues. I would imagine you will REALLY want usb joysticks for flight sims. Also remember 2 cpu > 1. ^.^

a flight sim from 2000 is going to want a beefy system. If I was in this boat, I'd design a system around the p3 tualatins. Get an Intel OR840, win2k, and a fast geforce 3, the rest is up to you.

nt4 for 200mhz. 2000 if you use overdrives.

Not likely. Considering how it requires drivers. I might give it a test later, but dont hold your breath.
Re: Packard Bell PB-0081-A PB IRISA, is it W. SCSI ISA card?
Posted on 2016-12-12, 01:49
Because scsi2 will saturate the bus? If this was scsi, it would be 20+ mb/s and well beyond the ability of isa to handle.

:lol: yea that was a spur of the moment thing. I don't actually have a 50 pin pci header so I just tried it. I always knew it was directly connected, I just made sure there were no termination resistors. I did a little more dicking around with it. Works just fine with a zip drive and my syquest 135.

NAS is the way to go. I have a huge array in an old p4 xeon as a server. works great.

Also, you would NOT put scsi on isa in 1997. (provided 9752 is an accurate date code)

68k liberation front (AKA the apple circle jerk) is the only one I know of. There is a bit over at VCF.

I'm actually working on a gaming rig for mac games, waiting on a few parts to hit ebay. It is NOT as easy as dos. parts ahrd hard to come by, and anything with an apple logo tends to be 10x as expensive because of stupid people. Also, the first Escape Velocity was the best.

*fixed 2nd image* yes. I would assume it would allow up to 6 devices on one usb 1.1 connection. The drives I tested are 1gb. Again, speed is not a huge factor for me. It is the convenience. I run a minecraft server on my garage pc, and I hate taking it down because I have to do a proper save from …

it is for PCMCIA or cardbus. useless without the bay drive, or in this case an external one.

First off, I got this little guy in an ebay lot auction for a song. Even if this did not work, the mac > pc video adapters were worth it. It is the Entrega U1-SC25 This company was bought out by xircom, and then intel. Intel is AWESOME for having drivers, and still has them on their site, even …
