On a second note... I think it might be even an older card... maybe TNT M64 or GF2MX.

It's a DirectX 8.1 card, a derivative of the Radeon 8500 (not related to Radeon 9500+, which are DX9 cards). the card in the picture and not 9250 in in general ¬_¬ I think that post by Scali was a response to kixs's post... Anyways, that card is more than likely yet another variant of the Radeon …

Finally I found the time to go through all of my retro rigs and "kind of" finish them and make a spreadsheet about them. Here you can find the document: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BVbYn8Vg7jGz5SX18GgXmAbHCsYVPZ1yj2pA5T4qOM0/edit?usp=sharing It contains details about all of my retro …

Re: How many GBs have you backed up from the "old days"
Posted on 2015-11-12, 07:03
I have everything sorted based on HDDs and directories. All CD/DVD/HDDs are TXT indexed (dir /s/a > label.txt) and put in one directory. When I search for something I use Total Commander for text search in that directory. Not the best thing but this is how I started sorting and indexing way back in …
Re: Anyone else questioning the point of retrorigs?

It doesn't need to have a point. I gave up trying to elaborate some rational motive for me to play with old hardware, I just do it because I like it. In the end, this is a hobby, and hobbies don't need to have a point, it is just something you enjoy doing in your spare time. ... and waste money on …
Re: Another day.. Another fried part from Ebay...

It just shows how some sellers on eBay misrepresent what they sell. The board is clearly not functioning as it's supposed to and to spice it up look at the price 😲

That Soyo board actually uses regular NiCD barrel rechargeable battery. Usually it's better to remove it due to leakage.

Back in the early days of collecting (pre 2000) I had around 100 CD's and my friend who was really into it had around 500. So I can image someone having around 5x my collection (200TB) 😲

I "collect" many things from 1996 till today. I have stopped using CD/DVDs in 2007 when I went all-in on HDD's. Firstly with 1TB and later replaced them with 2TB - that I still use today. Haven't really bought new 2TB drive in about two years. All-in-all I have around 400CDs, 400DVDs, 30BR-DL and …
Re: Paypal "Gift" and fee's? Help
Posted on 2015-11-10, 14:51
The only option in "my" PayPal is "Family/Friends" or "Goods and services". I see no gift option so many users talk about (here and on other forums). For the buyer if he doesn't have any funds on PayPal there is no difference in value if he pays as a friend or for goods. If he pays as a friend, he …

I could not resist this system. The price was 49 euro + 17 euro shipping, the auction was set to auto accept offers as it says "Best offer accepted" so I could probably got it even cheaper but I didnt want to wait those extra seconds... [/attachment] :exclamation: That's awesome! The 33 MHz model …
