Mine won't EVEN BEEP without RAM. CPU installed though.
Not even replacing the capacitors fixed it. Ah well,maybe it's good for hanging on the wall. The good part is I have my first S754 CPU!

Might look out for a nF3 or nF4 MB on S754 (they were used for 939 too,BTW anything from S462 and 478 to 754 and 939 kick ass IMO)

Sure are, have a athlon64 2800+ s754 and athlon64 3200+ s939. Both are awesome for games of their time(and some newer stuff) :rockout:

I have a 754 3400+ Newcastle 2.4GHz. Indeed it was great for its time, but the Newcastle core was absolute shit for overclocking. Three different boards and the max FSB I could ever get out of that chip was 205 stable.

Intel 775 are things of the past but still widely used so i got this question. When technology become obsolete the price goes down and after it become rare prices of parts kinda go up again. Are we still in the down price period of 775 or now they become more expensive? I have a new G31 mobo with 4gigs of DDR2-800 but shitty 1.8 gig duocore 1m cache. Would like to upgrade if we are on down price period. Just gonna keep that system for couple of years still and put a ssd to extend it.

stinger608 · Feb 13, 2015

Ya know @JunkBear I have been seeing some insane prices on s775 hardware. Kind of like X58 parts. Prices that are more than what they sold or close to what they sold when they were introduced.

Crazy really. I have seen s775 and x58 motherboards going for around $150 that were sold new for $110. :eek:

They heck of it is, they actually are selling!

debs3759 · Feb 13, 2015

I'm even seeing 486 VLB motherboards sell for $100+ !

As for S775 CPUs, high end will probably not hit a real low for a few years, but entry level and mainstream CPUs are at a low. They won't get any cheaper because of the scrap value, but as chips as far back as SA and S370 are at an all time low I can see S775 eventually showing similar trends. A good place to look for general CPU pricing trends is cpuworld.com forums, as collectors will always find the best prices

You may even find chips that suit your requirements in there far cheaper than on eBay.

Nostaglic HardTAIL

same age as me exactly to the month Jan 1966

BSA Bantam (yes a Bantam) hardtailed.. most dangerous thing on 2 wheels........ 45 mph tops if you were very very brave

I managed to delid a Wilamette Pentium 4 1.7GHz CPU.

Any ideas what to do with it now or if it's usable?

Put it into a retro build and bench it

Yeah but that was an accident.
I was cleaning through my stack of electronics (I've thrown away 4 bags of unneeded,broken crap) and it slipped out of my hand. It hit the ground (concrete ground) and the lid got off. Maybe it will help overclocking?

If there is no problem to place the heatsink on it, just give it a try!

Will do,but first I need to fix my old P4VM800 motherboard. I had to take caps from it and it needs a new BIOS chip.

Just for the fun of it,I'm going to try and see if I can repeat with a Celeron D 330 - probably the temps won't skyrocket anymore (they were going haywire no matter what I used)

That's the one

They have held their value as well, very hard to find and they sell for close to $100!

which is quite nothing ... altho ... for a beauty like that (althought i reckon i got my Pluto SLT A for 7$ alongside 2 other proc in the deal ... http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/tpus-nostalgic-hardware-club.108251/page-46#post-2950705 )

also ... Tbird i prefer them in SKT A SLT A for me is Pluto or even better (if one day i get my hand on one) A.R.G.O.N!

Yes, yes you do my friend!!

I had one of them up until about a year ago...............Damn, wish I wouldn't have ever gotten rid of it.

I got a pretty good score today though. Two old socket 7 Packard Bell systems and a p55c-200 Gateway 2000. It was a dumpster score!!! :rockout:

I will get pics up at some point soon. Haven't even plugged them in yet. I pulled the side panel off the Gateway and it looks practically brand new inside!

xBruce88x · Feb 14, 2015

Someone decided to drop off some older hardware at the shop...

Oh did you think i was exaggerating?

I've got not one... but THREE Commodore 64s, 2 disk drives for them and a printer, I've also got a few cartridges too! And... I even have a Commodore 128 with a disk drive! Kinda curious if they even work...

A quick setup guide of sorts...

Here's a fancy flight sim that came with them...

It even still has the registration card lol

Not sure if software or hardware... a bit of both I suppose?

MOAR software... and some power bricks.

3 C64s!

A printer... probably won't be printing high quality photos with it though...

disk drives and things... for the C64s

Its a C128! If any of them work... I hope its this one!

Specs! Don't think it'll run Crysis though...

Might need this to load the software...

... and the software... well some of it.

I would run that windows experience index thingy... but for some reason I doubt it would work...

I kinda wish I had a controller and a mouse for them. I'm sure I'll track them down at some point. I'll let you guys know if I ever manage to get one or all of them working!

twilyth · Feb 14, 2015

I would dig out my old 20meg bernoulli drives and disks but I'm pretty sure not many people have ever even seen those. The disks are sort of interesting though. They use flexible media with a gate that slides back as you insert them. Here is a pic I ripped off.
