ill try to find it so i can upgrade it.

the sad thing is that there were 3 revivions of this mac, and i got the first revision. (other revisions got the ati rage pro turbo)
and i cant remember what the problem was with this revision, something about the IDE, but i dont care i just want to run old mac games.

Check out some of the awesome homebrew that is out there these days, too!

Anything you can recommend?

First thing it needs is a composite video-out mod, however. 😁

Wouldn't worry about that:

In February 1998, ATI introduced the 2x AGP version of the Rage Pro to the OEM market and attempted to reinvent the Rage Pro for the retail market, by simultaneously renaming the chip to Rage Pro Turbo, and releasing a new Rage Pro Turbo driver-set (4.10.2312) that supposedly increased performance by 40%.

The 'Turbo' was pure marketing, it's the same chip.

My first Nvidia card (and I mean first, not first retro 🤣 )!

I wanted card with DVI connection, that's the reason, why this specific one.

Remember to mount a heatsink on that GPU before you run that. Just saying. 😊

I find PIII's more useful but I like PII's cartridges more. Sturdier, better finish, very high quality feel.

Most definitely. 😁 The SECC Pentium II is a bit cooler looking than SECC 2 PII's and PIII's.

I think my fondness for Slot 1 and Slot A CPUs is because they were the fastest x86 CPUs available when I was first getting into computers as a kid, and because they represent an interesting engineering compromise at the transition point between on-motherboard and on-die L2 cache. I also have a lot of fond memories of Windows 98 gaming on a Pentium III. I must have at least 40 or 50 Slot 1 CPUs at this point, including a whole bunch of engineering samples.

I never had any slot1 cpu in my childhood (only a PIII socket 370), so I shouldn't have any nostalgia, but still like them ! I look on ebay every few days to see if there are some interesting models... recently I've found a 850mhz fsb100

Bought this slot 1 retention bracket for 14 €. So f**** expensive. But I'm just attracted by unusual stuff...

Judging by its translucent blue color, it was definitely worth the price, that bracket surely has a place in a Slot 1 build that's housed in a multi-colored case like the ones shown in this thread.

Old ugly things that become attractive twenty years later 😁 Would be fun to find the matching case

An 850/100 Slot 1 is a great find! They are pretty rare these days.

NIce, you got better than mine 😁

and few more things like Asus slot1

I'am happy that this KT333 board can run GF MX 4. My 64bit MX420 is ready.

The laptop has TURBO light indicator. How old is it?

386 DX 25MHz and SIPPs

The box of cards I bought arrived today. The two sounds cards I thought were definitely in there were. (Sound Blaster 2.0 CT1350B and Sound Blaster 16 CT2290).
Some of the video cards are pretty nice for ISA, and the VLB I/O controller has SCSI 2 on it which is pretty unusual.
The last picture includes a couple cards (modem and Winchester controller) that were damaged as well as a PCMCIA controller card that looks fried.

2x CMI 8328, Sound Blaster 16 CT2290, Sound Blaster 2.0 CT1350B Rev 4, Aztech I38-MMSN813, IBM MWave sound + modem

Amazing haul, cyclone3d - Just as we all probably knew it would be. That lot ought to keep you busy for awhile! What are your plans for it?

Cheap thrills - Some Creative speakers for the workbench, a 4 port switcher with serial mouse support, AWE64 (CT4520) and an ESS AudioDrive ES1868F (kinda been wanting to mess with one of these for awhile)

Well, I have I think 4 Sound Blaster 2.0 cards now. Planning on probably keeping 2 of them and then upgrading the other 2 with CMS and selling them.

For everything as a whole... at least video and sound cards, I a planning on doing reviews of old hardware. Will probably be posting video reviews on youtube or similar and on a web page.

As for keeping the ISA video cards, I'll probably use one for a 386 build and maybe keeping a couple for spares and end up selling the rest once I do reviews.

I finished using up my latest pack of 100 anti-static bags if that is any indication of how many cards I have accumulated thus far.

That heatsink is absolutely retarded. What is even the point of something that blocks half the expansion slots even on a full ATX board.

It's not the heatsink that's retarded, it's the RAM slots being parallel to the expansion slots that makes it difficult to properly align the cooler (and possibly the CPU socket mounting holes as well). Here's a variant of the cooler that's properly installed, you can see the overhang above the RAM slots in their usual location:

Could you please erase the parts of quoted messages that are not relevant to your reply?
Thank you!

It was joke 😁

I wanted one of those coolers back in the day.

And the way to previous owner mounted it is just dumb. It is supposed to be the other way as is shown in that other picture.

This weeks stuff is an Audigy SB1394, a 4GB CF card and a Slot 1 motherboard - SuperTek ST-P3VFA with Apollo Pro 133 chipset. Came with a P3 450 and some RAM.
