Gorgeous little card, that's what I like about old cards. That flame theme looks great! Back then I once used MSI 5600NU that looks like this

It's also legit part of heatsink (ie. it's made out of metal).
The other thing I got myself (both are mine, but the one on the left was with me since 2017) :

I had a Creative FX 5600 UItra (which is a rebranded MSI card with a Creative sticker), it was surprisingly much faster than a FX 5600 nu :eek:



I had also a Hercules 9500 Pro which was too surprisingly fast, I guess the 128-bus didn't choke it as much than I thought.

Have been searching through classifieds, and I can tell you that I have almost 3 more cool Acer laptops coming through. Boy, the pandemic isolation really did open my schedule to a lot of projects.

1. Aspire 5739G (P7350, 4GB DDR3, GT240M)
2. Aspire 7738G (T6500, no RAM, GT130M)
3. Aspire 6920G (unknown exact specifications)

A quick rundown:

-5739G works absolutely fine, seller put up pictures of it working with Windows 10
-7738G needs quite a LOT of work - LCD (have sourced one from the X70IC project which was scrapped), HDD (have a 250GB Hitachi on hand w/ Win7), RAM (need to source DDR3 SODIMMs) and finally, a battery.
-6920G is restarting after 1 hour. I totally know what causes this and for the price I found it it's a serious bargain, even more if the LCD is the FullHD variant (several special versions of the 6920,6930,8920,8930 models used FullHD panels - this also meant different LVDS cables most of the time). For those interested, 6920, 6935, 8920 and 8930 all used a NEC TOKIN Proadlizer capacitor which goes bad over time. My 8930G also has this cap but so far it hasn't experienced any issues. The 6920 will be a great candidate for replacing the NEC TOKIN with either 2x470uF or 4x470uF (or 4x330uF)

NOTE: For those who know a bit about the phat PS3 mobo, these NEC TOKIN caps are the same cursed caps that are used on phat PS3s. Slims finally did away with them, being substituted with 4x330uF tantalum caps as far as I remember.

I remember watching everyone in envy because I could get nowhere near there. I tried though! I was there in spirit.

Edit:

I was able to get my 2500M to around 2800 with around 2.3v and a lot of fans.

edit:

could have been 2750ish

Well going more then 2.7GHz on a mobile Barton is not a good idea, if u will go for 24/7 stable work, cuz will short the life span of the CPU, and these parts will become extinct, cuz of gold scrappers and idiots that just trow to the trash parts... At least i wont go above 2.7GHz as is not worth it to brun the parts, adn as far as i know more voltage then 1.85v is not good, still 1.9v is a bit ok for me, but above 2v for 462 CPUs is way tooo much......


Damn that AOpen board is stuff of dreams back then during Pentium 4 era.

Well AOpen boards are great, sadly they dont have too many models, still the ones they have are great. This dual 370 is a champion, the guy that did use it was smoker, and he did smoke like 24/7 did not leave the cigaretes, whole board was with tar, and nasty, also the guy did put one time a SDram stick on the wrong way and blown up a pin in the slot, and there was places where the PCB was naked and the copper was showing, yet after cleaning and recapping the board is wotking great, so AOpen is really great brand, and one of my favorites like ABIT...

I found this board to be better then the ASUS CUV4X-DLS, that sure have AGP pro slot, up to 4GB of ram and SCSI, but the color is bad, and they tend to have problems, liek to randomly die, or to get stuff not working like PS2 connectors, USB and others...

IMG_20171015_163136.jpg

Very interesting boards, only AOpen have so strange boards, and the rare AOpen Tube boards, for sure the inegrated audio is not very gooc, cuz is not separated, but is still very interesting and unique.. Also a black Slot 1 mobo, only AOpen have that as far as i know, pink and dark with some smile faces on it, really interesting boards, similar to ABIT casper, and others...

Aopen AX3S Pro (Sweet Kiss).jpg AOpen AX3SP Pro Che Che.jpg AOpen AX6BC Pro II Millennium Edition.jpg AOpen AX4B-533 Tube rtret.jpg





This is what i got so far, Cherry G80-1000 cant see an G80-1000 on ebay, seems they are very rare, (same as the Aopen dual 370 and the Tube boards) , IBM Model M Gen 2.
These 2 are my daily ones i use, just want to get 1 premium ALPS NorthGate Omnikey or Zenith and one Space Invaders NBM tech, and maybe IBM Model F AT....

Someone of you have maybe interesting Mechanical keyboards, like ALPS DELL BIGfoot, NorthGate Omnikey, Zenith, or NBM Space Invaders or IBM Model Fs that are rare specially the AT model, i did miss one Model F AT last days and am not very happy....

Oh my God, that AOpen Tube board. I really fond of that because my dad is huge audiophile and have some tube amp/preamp. Would love to own one despite the crappy CODEC it was connected to. Seeing one really is a blast from the past, as I read it from HardwareMag I bought that year, they have review on their site too

Hey that laptop isnt half bad, way overkill for Wolf 3D. I bet it can run Return to Castle Wolfenstein, with Truform too!

Oh my God, that AOpen Tube board. I really fond of that because my dad is huge audiophile and have some tube amp/preamp. Would love to own one despite the crappy CODEC it was connected to. Seeing one really is a blast from the past, as I read it from HardwareMag I bought that year, they have review on their site too


AOpen stuff rocks... The sound chip on that board is garbage sadly, but maybe it can be replaced with some X-Fi creative chip or something else...

That AOpen will fit great in a case with this shit..

I didn't realise the 5200 Ultra Fan club was so exclusive :laugh:

Remember as a student ( a long time ago!) seeing one on sale in Game for £129.99 with my geeky mates and laughing at the price of it. We all rocked 9800 Pros naturally

Love the corsair LED stuff, I have a few pairs but not the LL stuff :(

Managed to get hold of a beige computer, cant turn them down these days. Awful photographs in the advert but I have got quite good at identifying a 17 year old graphics card from a quarter view of its rear side now.

Everything stripped down and repurposed for a Kyro 3 Build I wanted to do for a while.
