Im going to have to dig a little, I might be able to find my Pentium 100

My first comp was an XT w/ monochrome screen and all. Adventure and Chess, lol. I think I tossed all my 486 and 386 comps long ago. :laugh:

When I get a chance, I'll have to upload pics of my old hardware. Although, it really isn't that old

Doesn't anyone have a Commodore PET? That was the first computer I ever used (was very young then), if I remember it all correct that system came out before the Vic20 and C64.

I have some old programming books for the C64 somewhere in my room, when I find them I must take a picture and post. I remember that it was BASIC and you could do smaller games program... and make music!

And and the story goes on... :pimp:

The only physical hardware I have from 80's is an ISA Copy 2 PC board that was used to copy copy-protected floppies...

Aside from a PCI based Diamond Voodoo Banshee card I got somewhere in the basement in storage (got it back in 1998), I cleaned out my "old stuff" 4-5 years ago, and by cleaned out I mean I threw it away since it was taking up too much space. Most of it was early-to-mid 1990s era PC stuff.

Yes, my rig with the Voodo3 and Matrox card, PII and a really old DFI board is not in this thread. I'll post in a few hours, when I'm back home again.

Sad part was I didn't know they went bankrupt until late 2005. I've got a 5500 but its in a system my sister's boyfriend has that my dad put together for him. Going to try and remember to drag a newer one back I've got that will be more useful to him.

Mostly I just want the card back. :laugh:

I still have a slight hate for nVidia no matter how big or small of a role they had to play in it.

Ooh i so remember that Matrox card were you could add memory to it

Doc41 · Apr 14, 2011

This Thread is awesome

, the one i have is not as old as most ones here, but is old enough
specs are:
Gigabyte GA-5AX Mobo
AMD K6-2 450 CPU
640MB Of Mixed SDRAM
3DFX VooDoo2 & an 8mb S3 Savage 3D VGA Card
and a Creative Sound Card

I think my dads first one was a Sinclair ZX81

Derek12 · Apr 14, 2011

Sorry that cannot post pictures but my first computer (1999) was an AMD K6-2 450 MHz (the same as Doc41 LOL), I don't remember the model of the motherboard but it was a DFI, Samsung 8 GB Hard disk, Nvidia Riva TNT -->Voodoo (don't remeber what model exactly

), 64 MB RAM -->128 MB , Creative sound blaster sound card, and Windows 98 --> ME --> 2000.

That computer was thrown 'cause the motherboard died and CPU overheated

One question that I realized now: What is that two-row of pins in some old expansion card? In my GFX card of my old PC had those but nothing connected on them :confused:

Many thanks

entropy13 · Apr 14, 2011

My joystick is from the 90s, does that count? Only problem is that I can't seem to find it now LOL (I'm still sure it's in the house though)

The chips between the all those pins are ram chips and you used a addon board. And if i remember right it was the same deal with the AWE card too in the second pic and the 3rd pic the older version had clip in ram chips ( if it's the card i am thinking of..

Addon memory was great not like now.
