Another guy with integrated only...

Yeah back in the day, I didn't really play pc games that often "don't know why probably because all my friends were on ps1 and so was I because of trading games etc"

Just used this pc for word processing really until I needed more power and built a pc for gaming and work and never regretted it since!

Wish I had got into Pc gaming earlier tho.

Here is just a couple of the old motherboards that I have lying around. I have alot more but need to buy more plaques before I hang them up on the wall.

Where do you get them plaques from and how exactly do you put the motherboard's on the plaques?

Where do bad folks go when they die?

You can get them at your local hobby shop, I got mine a Micheals, which is just like a hobby Lobby if you are from the US.  They are pretty pricy for what they are in my opinion, they were $30 a peace, there are cheaper plaques but these just looked a lot better then the others. I just went to Tiger direct and bought a big box full of standoffs and screwed those into the plaques and then mounted them just like you would in a case.

I propose a rule: A P4, DDR1, or 40GB HDDs and anything newer should not be considered retro.

Why not PC100, P-ATA 66?

Sure. I had a PIII with PC100 RAM until 2008 when I got a P4, which I had until 2012.

I think my current computer is a weensy bit better than yours. (As in a lot.)

 

Was your P3 like the one in the picture above or was it like the newer type of CPU with the pins and goes into the motherboard with heatsink on top? Mine was a 766MHz with a 64MB Radeon card. Hours of playing 18 Wheels of Steel.
