Nostalgic Computers :D

[Skalabala]

Hey guys
Any of you into nostalgic computers?


I would say nothing newer than socket 370 and 462. And maybe 775 and 939


My PC

K6-3+ ANZ 500Mhz @ 5.5x115 633Mhz(Rare Cpu)
GA5AX motherboard, Vcc3 raised from board and heatsink on it.
128Mb Sd133 Ram For benching purposes but have extra.
Graphics cards: MX400 32Mb, ATi 9200 128Mb, FX5900(rare one with Lcd ), FX5950 Ultra

I am trying to get close to world record 3Dmark 2001SE

How about this one, about as old as I am, with a few kb of core memory? And punched tape reader for external storage? WIth front panel switches for programming?

Here's some of the spare memory boards, next to Tiny's (the St Bernard) head:

the label showing capacity (in bits, not even bytes)

a 64bit x 64bit x 18bit array. That's only 73728 BITS, and that's not even ten thousand BYTES of data (9.216kB).

I dont' have pics of my Amigas, Vic20, MacPlus, or other ancient stuff I still have (or the many I don't). Or my calculator watch that has no number pad but uses four buttons around the edge, in various sequences, to input numbers and functions. I do have a pic of a VAX I had for a while, but I never got to use it and it's gone after the fire.

I might have pics of some other stuff around, but probably only on the web somewhere, fi I ever find it I'll link it.

Miss my towering monstrosity of a 486 with scsi array storage... not all that oldschool by some regards, but it had its charms. First rig I ever built from scratch, first I ever overclocked (the DX4-100).

Sounds like a great PC you had
Should be able to run Need for speed 1 and 2 on it!

My K6 handles GTA 3 real good
