Replace the G with a C and you'd be right.

I kind of want some weird stuff like that.

 

I passed up on a P4 IBM at the curb last night, don't need more archaich stuff, need more stuff like Haswell and newer.

Agreed.

 

IBM systems are probably worth a pretty penny though, IBM hasn't manufactured anything for quite a while.

well ill upload a pic later but I found a bag at a thrift shop containing 2GB ddr3 and an amd Athlon (am3 socket) and... it cost $1 literally 1 USD. XD

I've got too much junk and the case looked disgusting.

[Bitter]

They were all fabless like AMD, pretty cool stuff actually. Our Acer had a Pentium clone, maybe a Winchip.

got something cool coming my way, NOS from china

gonna slap it in my super socket 7 system and see how it does

 

 

Interesting, my old Presario has a slightly better version but in gold (though the 233 also had gold versions too).

That's been a thing for a long time. Not exactly special.

Lol......*looks at P4 HT 3.2GHz powered Presario R3000*

She takes Pentium 4M too.

I'm still messing around with socket 478 stuff and at this point I'm certain that all my processors are dead. Two new old stock motherboards won't post, and my ECS photon will somewhat post with the 2.8ghz one 

it'll hit a bios splash screen but no more

the only known working 478 system I have is a laptop and it's gonna be a nightmare to take that apart for testing 

 

It's also picky with ram, gotta cmos clear a special way to get it to post at all

 

I've got a Celeron 2.4 Northwood you can have for cost of shipping if you're interested? Hell you can have the whole Dell board it came in!

its actually really quiet and cool, tops out at 65c with a low fan speed

The days of full copper heatsinks.....in even machines at multimedia/general consumers.

[JordenForkKnife]

I have a samsung chromebook 3 and it uses just a copper heatsink lol. I just put 2pc fans on top of it, slanted at a good angle so the air can escape

for any yougins wondering, yes, there were in fact other companies besides AMD and intel that made processors

 im also eying an IDT winchip and a RISE mp6

Both of those'd work on my baby AT board. Regardless of BIOS version. Socket 5, 7 and S7 - even laptop variants....it doesn't care as long as its electrically compatible with one of the 3.

huh I was thinking about it for a minute and this thread really only encompasses old computers and computer hardware but there's really not a place for old and retro tech in general like a Sanyo Superbeta or as they called their machine the Betacord or something like that) Model: VCR-4027.

 

Maybe I'll start a thread like that.

 

I've posted an iMac G3 here before, original bondi... It's broken right now, not really sure if trying to restore it is worth it. Related to above, restoring that is certainly worth it.

 Today I thought we would do something fun and different. This is a topic about showing of all your old pc parts (or old computers). Feel free to post some pics:) It will be fun:D

 

midly infurating that you put a ddr2 stick in there are those retro they are still usable in 2019

[NoCarrier]

Is this considered retro yet?  ;). It's a giant paperweight from 2012 that still won't run crysis maxed out.  (Probably worth less than my Voodoo 2 SLI setup)
