I spent all weekend moving into a new, larger apartment with the wife. I also emptied out my
storage unit so I have everything with me now at home. I was too tired from all the moving to
rebuild our bed (an ikea king-sized malm beast), but I found the energy to finally open up a few of
the machines I had been keeping in storage as I didn't have the time or space to go through them
until now 😀
I don't have pictures yet but eventually. These are all machines I picked up in that haul from a
friend's dad who had died and she wanted me to clean it out for her. There were several other
machines, including a 486 server with some kind of ZEOS motherboard but I'll deal with that one
later. The three below are all Dell Dimension XPS machines:
Machine 1: XPS H266
PII-266 with a MASSIVE heatsink on it. Not sure if that's stock or not.
Unknown ram, all 72-pin.
Matrox Millenium, not sure if it's a I or II
Awe64 CT-4380 (standard 1mb?)
Machine 2: XPS R450
PII-450
Unknown ram, SDRAM
STB V-128 (I think it's a Velocity 128 Riva based card not sure?)
Unknown Turtle Beach Vortex card. Likely Montego I/II but looks like an A3DXtream from pics I've
found online.
Machine 3: XPS T700r
PII-700
Unknown ram, SDRAM
3dfx card, likely v3-3000?
Same Turtle Beach Vortex card as above
All of the video/sound cards have dell part numbers on them so they all seem to either be stock or at least manufacturer upgraded.
I really want to get these plugged in and find out the specifics of what they are, but the
apartment is still a huge mess so it may be awhile before I can get my tables and such setup for
testing.
Either way, it's like a fun treasure hunt when you have machines that you haven't had a chance to
play with yet.
