Had to do something worthwhile during the lengthy power outage that ended just a few minutes ago. One of the many advantages of having a retro laptop with a good battery.

If she is only your Fiance, this is not a good start. Dump her now before you waste money and years on someone who wants you to follow her rules and change you. :lol: :lol: :lol: But seriously, whatever you do, keep the BX in addition to your main comp and your K6-2, and sell or part out the rest. …

Whilst I was reminiscing about my family's old K6 machine, I suddenly remembered this mediocre game: http://www.mobygames.com/game/bionicle Being big into Bionicle at that time, I had to get that game, which didn't run well on the K6 233MHz + Voodoo4 4500 (of course) and crashed often. After having …

CPU bottleneck. V3 would be better paired with something like a K6-3 or Pentium II.

I've been looking for an early intel socket-7 motherboard that will run my 50 Mhz socket7 chips natively, and have not found a decent one for a while. I found one yesterday at used store, paid $7.85 out the door for it. Also: I've never seen a socket7 board with this "TX PRO III" chipset, so …

If the CT2940 has OPL, it's a definite keeper. Heck, for DOS games, it'll probably be your best option, no matter if it has OPL or not. The Live! is also a keeper if you're running Windows games, but the 16 PCI is kinda worthless, especially considering the Live! and other PCI sound cards of the …

1 and 7: They're both SB Vibra 16s with CQM, so not the greatest around. Still ISA, so maybe worth something to the right person. 2: No. Even if the card on the left was a TV tuner, it wouldn't be worth a whole lot. (They're both modems.) 3: Oooh, BNC... It's a PCI NIC, so maybe worth a fiver at …

Pretty sure the video on my 425CDT is VLB as well (CT65550 w/ 2MB EDO VRAM). Wouldn't be surprised if the bulk of Toshiba's early Pentium laptops used VLB, though apparently the Tecra series from around that time used PCI: http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=638372& …

I've got the 486 version of the 755CD myself. The Mwave chipset, which can do wavetable(!) has decent DOS compatibility (I think it is SB2.0 compatible), using emulated FM to work in DOS. I've always wondered if the wavetable that the chipset uses works in DOS, because it seems like a better option …

I would've easily identified these as Dell OEM cards because Dell loved using that DMS-59 port. That, and the "REV. A00" and "DP/N" stickers on the cards are a dead giveaway.
