What makes something retro? It all depends on who you are asking. Me, born in 1976, will say that retro computing is from between 1981 and 2001. Other younger persons, might extend it to something as late as 2006/08. Older might say a PDP-11 from the 70's. It all depends on who you are asking.

No matter what... It's got plenty of choices for cards and stuff. The only thing that would make this, one of the ultimate boards, are the lack of ISA. On the other hand. This offers so much more than the average stuff. 😜

Ahhh.... The case cover? Shure I have that too. It's all original. I got the case from my parents originally. It contained their second pc. (P133, 64mb, Ati Rage Pro, SB16) Well... Don't be sorry. English is my second language, so I know how it is, not really knowing a specific English word. ;-) …

Love it! Would love to see Phil's VGA Benchmarks and my Cachebench results for this system. Especially to compare the PCI to my VLB system (GD5428). Thanks for sharing the pics and stories. Keep an eye out for benchmarks in this tread. I have build it. Playtime comes later, as I have some other …

Yeah... It's simple and good. Feels solid and snappy for a dx2-66. :-P The CL5446 is a fast card, up there alongside S3 cards. Even Phil was impressed by it's performance. I was told that in a message he sent me. The U-something... What is that exactly? My case has all original parts, except for the …

All right.... This is my new build. I had an 5x86-133 setup wich was beginning to run really unstable, so I got an Lucky Star ls486e C2 instead. I have just finished this new build a couple of minutes ago, and I think this is running a bit better. I wanted to aim for eighter an Dx2-66 or Dx2-80 on …

You can still edit your feedback within a certain time frame. How long is that? I would personally retract my feedback as now they lost their intact 100% status. If the seller cares about his or her ratings and really wants to work things out the two of you can get that negative feedback retracted …

Well.... I thought that kixs meant doing it through feedback. So that was what I thought it was. This is how I usually do it, as this way was what I found, first time I did it.
