WTF, didn't know that there were S Tualatins and "normal".. I thought that the 1.4GHz model was the only 512k o_O

I stand corrected, damn. :D

Hold on a minute.

Tualatin was a Pentium III
Those were on Socket 370
Tualatins had 256k cache (except the 1400MHz model which had 512k)

e: you managed to edit the misspelling of the socket.
Corrected made a mistake with my other setup :)

Cannot be, Tualatins have 256k or 512k L2

It is one. Thats why nobody believe me. I need to rebuild the system and prove it. Im sure i can overclock it to 3gigs and run 60 Petaflops of processing on it ;)

Personnaly the AGP card im using is newer end of life in 2007.




Still got a Tualatin 1ghz with 1meg cache. It was considered a high performance one back then because all others tualatin had 256k or 512k cache. I cant find this model anywhere so could it be possible that its an ingeneering sample. Who knows.


And i use Radeon HD3850 AGP from the same brand HIS, does that make me less to collect 3Dfx and PCI video cards avdn even ISA nah...

There are differend collectors, some of them collect only max to socket 370 or 2000, nothing newer, others collect stuff from 1997 and newer, other collect only Videocards, some people collect only ultra rare stuff like XGI Volari V8 x2, 3Dfx Voodoo 5 6000, Quantum 3D cards, and engineering samples, and others like me collect everything from 8086 up to like AM2 (in mind with parts liek DFI lanParty, ABIT fatality, Sapphire pure white AMD board) ...

Your software said something else. There simply wasn't one.

It's a niche market.
Highly unlikely to sell on a forum except for maybe Vogon's.
If you e-bay it, it'll go quick at that price.

I would but don't have an Ebay account any longer after having a lawsuit against them in later part of the 90s. I won and they banned me for life. :eek:

Companies and governments don't like winners. They prefer those who bring them money by losing. Easier to control when you don't win.

Believe me, nothing can touch RGB scart & zero input latency on a CRT.

OG XBOX looks crisp ASF and the colours pop.

Exactly. I'm jealous since my friend got a 28" wide Trinitron CRT for free, I'd love to have one too. PS2 (even with component) & NES looks like ass on a HDTV.

Agreed - Older consoles look like sh!t on an HDTV display becuase it reveals the graphical limitations of them, some games looking so horrid they are barely playable.

Still have a 27' that was just "Here" in the house and the wife had been nagging me to get rid of it. Although the set is in really good shape It had been long retired for obvious reason but I hadn't done anything with it. It wasn't that old when we were forced to retire it and that's the main reason I kinda kept it around - I knew I'd have a use for it one day.

I finally took it into the room here and hooked it up to the older consoles.
Since I can't use it for TV viewing anymore it's now a dedicated display for my old consoles and games when I play them.

I guess that scaling and the aspect ratio are the main problems why old consoles look like crap on modern TVs..?

Well seems i am lucky the collector that have Voodoo V 5500 AGP seems will agree to trade the Voodoo and and NBM Space Invader keyboard for IBM PS/2 Model 58, IBM 365 dual socket 8 with 1 Pentium Pro and no VRM module, IBM PS/2 Monitor, a Japanese CGA monitor and 386 or 486 mobo and something else by his choice... I dont see how someone that have 2 pieces of something rare like Voodoo V 5500, or GEforce FX5800 Ultra, AWE64 Gold and others to be not a serious collector, if he trade 1 part for bunch of vintage PCs that all together cost more then the Voodoo itself..

IBM PS/2 Model 56 is 200$ (did not find Model 58)
IBM PS/2 monitor is like 100$
IBM 365 dual socket 8 machine there is none in ebay, but there is mobo that is 90$, so i can assume is at least 150-200$ whole machine..
BMC BM-AU9191U Monitor (mine is differend RGB model but whatever) is 200$

So far only these parts are more money then a Voodoo V 5500, that i saw one to be sold for 400$, also 486 boards are like 80-100$ and i will give him something else too, so dont see what is the problem for him, is not like he is trading a horse for a chiken, seems fair trade to me, specially as he have x2 Voodoo V 5500 AGP.. ALso i give him a promice to trade him for something these parts, as they are in his wishlist if i found any of them, as i dont care much about these parts (want a bit only Pentium pro Black but not that much) ...

The guy wants these parts "Gravis Ultrasound карти, Adlib, IBM EGA монитор, Ciryx 5x86 120 мхз , Pentium pro black, IBM model F AT"
From these i need only GUS, and i dont need as much the IBM Model F AT, so i am willing to trade him prob one day one of these if i get it, rest parts i dont need...

Exactly. I'm jealous since my friend got a 28" wide Trinitron CRT for free, I'd love to have one too. PS2 (even with component) & NES looks like ass on a HDTV.


Also the fact that you can't play NES with gun on flat screen tv.

I guess that scaling and the aspect ratio are the main problems why old consoles look like crap on modern TVs..?
Here i have recorded it as best as i can.. with my not so good mobile phone..

There are artifacts that don't exist with the naked eye and it's very sharp.
