I was darn close! A die shrunk 7600GT from what I can recall, good GPU back in the day but now a Haswell IGPU would outperform it.

 

That was a big shocker to me a couple years ago, finding out that the integrated graphics in an i3 4130 would trounce a 7800GTX or a 9800GTX. I couldn't fathom CPU graphics killing a discrete card but here we are.

I have six built Windows XP systems in my basement workshop right now for an upcoming classic LAN party.

 

QX9650, 790i and GTX 580.

Xeon X5450, P45TAD3 and GTX 260.

Athlon 64 X2, A8R32-MVP and HD 4870.

E6750, P35 and HD 5850.

Athlon II 630, M4A785M and 7900 GTX.

E4630, PT880 and 8800 GTS. 

 

I've just been spending my evenings loading up Windows XP, installing drivers and installing 30+ games on each one. USB sticks have made life so much easier than the old days of swapping discs and GOG has made it even easier.

 

I'll take some pics.

Was used for DICE benching to control condensation from just going everywhere.

That particular one is a rare LP NF3-250 Socket 939 board.

Well if old CRTs count...

 

I took a photo of my desk back in 2008(on a similar era phone... The first Galaxy i think), then made it my desktop, then took a photo of that and made it my desktop, etc. etc. for about 3 or 4 iterations. Then i used printscreen to save this.

Oh wait... There's Nokia PC suite... must have been a nokia of some description... No idea what it was then.

In school computer labs we'd screen shot the desktop, set the image as desktop, then set the icons to hidden and the taskbar to hidden off to the side or top. Hilarity would ensue until we got in trouble.

Typewriter sometimes. And it can run photoshop and "develop" raw. But web browsing? Absolutely not.

Older machines are great for basic tasks. I used to have some decrepit old laptop that couldn't connect to wifi no matter what, so I just used it to write a story. Now where's the hard drive...

Love,

Mother Fawkes
