    Just a few of my retro computer machines and parts... and one of my 486 motherboards is the model with an actual GUI for the BIOS. I wonder if @LinusTech ever happened to of seen one of those beauties before? ?
     
     
     
    By the way, I can capture any footage of the BIOS directly if any one would like a clearer shot, since I can capture VGA output easily.
     
    Now for the rest of the goodies.

    @ReeseRiverson That's an amazing collection! You make my collection look like complete crap in comparison, I don't think I have a system that was built for anything older than XP at the moment. ?
     
    I'd love to have more stuff, mainly a decent CRT monitor for starters, but I don't have anywhere to store anything else and people already call me a hoarder. ?

    Unfortunately many of the Gateway 2000 boards I've come across are like that, lacking the L2 cache. From what I've found out a while back they used some odd standard for the cache chips. So any of the ones I have on another board simply won't work on these. Which is a shame because I really wanted to run my Pentium Overdrive in one of these Gateway 2000 machines I have... 
     
    I mean it does work, but my 486DX4 machine still kills the Pentium Overdrive in raw performance just because of the lack of L2 cache in the machine it's installed in. While that 486DX4 has plenty of L2 cache on hand.
     
    I definitely agree with how much of a difference it makes, it's quite amazing, yet frustrating at the same time. ?
