Acquired this beauty a couple of days ago. Needed a clean but works like a charm.

I rarely post here, but I wanted to share my Christmas haul:

All in Wonder Radeon DDR. I've been looking for one of these babies for a while now. All I need to find now is a RV100 Radeon 7200 (RV100 DDR) and a Radeon 7500 (RV200) and my ATI collection is complete.

0KVtZGCl.jpg
No idea what this is but it looks interesting. Hoping it's an actual video card and not a capture card.

u1ddCOQl.jpg
Another Geforce 256 SDR. From the layout and fan sticker it seems to be a Creative card, but it's not silkscreened witch is unusual. Could be a creative OEM card. My second one now, maybe I can trade it for a DDR model witch I'm missing.

The card you were hoping is video card *is* capture card due to Zonan chipset is frequently used.

Bought two different thickness 65mm square belts: 0.8mm thick and 1.8.m thick for a floppy drive that slipped the belt off when a cleaning floppy diskette was inserted

Along with a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE HDD adapter so I can format the 504MB HDD on my 486 desktop for one of the laptops and 4 pieces of RAM for my GUS clone since the current RAM is dead and no games work until the new RAM I ordered gets here and when I get it installed.

Got myself an AT box!

Pentium 133 with an integrated cooler, 16MB of RAM, SIS 6202 PCI 1MB video card, motherboard with i430fx chipset. Looks like one side was placed next to a radiator or something, judging by the yellowing 🤣
Fans and HDD start up, but still no post. I suspect the dead Dallas RTC is to blame.

Likely an office spreadsheet machine as indicated by the lack of sound card and cd-rom, plus the system builder "Inida"- a popular business PC supplier over here who are still around today and who built my work PC that I'm using now.

Makes me remember the times walking by that store from school and just oogling all the parts I could not afford 🤣

Received the ATX2AT converter device. I missed the original kickstarter campaign but was lucky to receive one of extra units.

Here it is with picoPSU power supply which makes it a nice compact combo for running vintage systems

Nice haul. i like the grey pcb on the triplex cards, definitely out of the ordinary.

Yeah, they look really different. A friend of mine back in the day had a pentium 4 build in a full acrylic case, with a silver soltek motherboard and a silver geforce 4 ti. Really clean build too. I remember he cut and fit plastic wire management boxes (the type you put on walls) and routed every cable inside. It was the greatest looking rig I saw at the time.

Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe I'll be able to trade it for something else. If not it goes into the "modems and other crap" box.

Tell me I'm not insane.. I just bought 4x GTX 780Ti. anybody ever tried 4-way SLI in XP? I have a board (ASUS Rampage V Extreme) that can do it along with a XEON E5-1660 V3 (octa-core) that overclocks to 4.5Ghz which is going to probably be the upgrade to my current main system but not with this particular motherboard.

I also have a E5 1650 V3 (hex-core) that overclocks to about the same speed which would be the final CPU for this motherboard.

Will 4-way work in XP?

Edit... Also, this would be the system I would be using for other SLI and CFX setups...

So far I have:
2x 7950GX2
2x GTX 295
2x HD5970
2x X1950XTX
4x 8800 Ultra
4x 780Ti on the way

Probably have a few other sets of cards as well but not 100% sure.

That's going to be a very interesting system to play around with, everything I know about SLI scaling leads me to believe 4-way wont see any improvement from 3 way, but its awesome that you get to find out for yourself, please post your results!

I will once I have time to to run a bunch of different tests. I did actually look at some 780Ti 2x vs 3x vs 4x benchmarks and there are some games that show significant improvements with 3x and 4x.

I always liked the idea of SLI (and CrossFire) in theory, but I never went for it due to the infamous micro stutter problems that many people experience when using such a setup.

Let us know if you run into anything like that on your 4x SLI rig.I'm curious to see how that turns out.

PC#1: Pentium MMX 166 / Soyo SY-5BT / S3 Trio64V+ / Voodoo1 / YMF719 / AWE64 Gold / SC-155
PC#2: AthlonXP 2100+ / ECS K7VTA3 / Voodoo3 / Audigy2 / Vortex2
PC#3: Athlon64 3400+ / Asus K8V-MX / 5900XT / Audigy2
PC#4: i5-3570K / MSI Z77A-G43 / GTX 970 / X-Fi

I think Nvidia changed the way SLI worked for all cards from the 690 onward to mitigate the microstutter. I do remember for sure at least NVidia claiming they did this for the 690.

I know that AMD fixed the microstutter for the most part.. at least on the 7970 and up as I had that setup for a while before they fixed it and after they fixed it.

I still have one of the 7970 cards and kinda wish I still had the second.

That reminds me.. I also have 2x HD6870.
