The box has much more under those modules which are in their packages. Everything from PC133 SDRAM to DDR3-1600 with DIMM and SODIMM form, some are also ECC/ECC registered. In that bag there's also some FB-DIMM DDR2 sticks.

Ha ha. You only THINK you have enough. Here is a drawer full. Everything from SDR to DDR4, and then some.

No spare DDR4 as I sold my old 4x4GB kit when I purchased my current 2x16GB

Not exactly hardware...

But still cool!
I think it might support PPC too - I can't remember if 10.5.7 supported PPC or if that was Intel-only.

10.5.8 was the last supporting PPC. 10.6 was Intel-only.

Would you ever consider an Adlib original / non-clone for collecting?

agent_x007 · Dec 22, 2021

Depends on price.
If it's too expensive to me - I won't buy it.

Would be cool to uncover an AWE64 Gold II, The Entertainer sound board or even an innovation ssi-2001 sound board

Why so many ISA video card has that connector on it, probably for some daughtercard or something? I'm pretty sure that it's not for SLI-like purpose :laugh:

Yes. It was an early bridge connector that cards used to enhance functionality, such as video capture, TV tuners and early 3D processing.

I guessed that it's for something similar.

Oh boy, I can't wait that I see my uncle as he promised to give me more junk (even more memory!) and some drives and maybe a PC or two. :laugh:

it's handy to have an uncle who works as an IT guy as he gives me all kinds of junk which becomes leftovers. :toast:

I may also put up a server/NAS if I get enough drives because why not

I suppose that a Xeon X3230 @ 3GHz & 8GB DDR2 will do the job?

Retrorockit · Dec 26, 2021

I never though to look for one of these. PCI adapter to AGP 1.0. IDK if it's actually available, but the post is fairly recent. Maybe I can actually get some use out of my Voodoo 5500 AGP.

PCI to AGP adapter – sdz-mods.com

I had one of those Ultrasound cards in my DX2/66 486 computor (first one) and it wasn't very compatible, but the sound - unbeatable - Creative can hide its ugly face.

The APU in the Notebook ive got has in 5 months its release 10 years ago. :laugh:

I ordered a SSD for the Notebook cause it runs very fine for its age, only limitation is DX11 on IGP and the dedicated HD 7670M.

Funfact in Multicore Benchmarks is a 5980HS about 21,4 times faster.

Splinterdog · Dec 27, 2021

A friend dumped an old HP Compaq Deskpro Pentium III (AD 2000) on me, so I stripped it down and gave it the usual soapy treatment.
It runs okay, but I can't remember all the details and I'll update when it's all put back together. No AGP, so I'll dig out a PCI VGA card.
I'll probably sell it on as I know it will definitely move down here and it's built like an actual house, as usual with HP.

Interesting - there appears to be an intel i740 (with 2 SDRAM chips) integrated right on that P3 mainboard - so you have graphics there already, there must be a VGA connector on the I/O panel.

Do you mean these? And yes, it does have a VGA output.

Yes. Now I see it is an intel 810 chipset (first) with integrated i740 graphics. A friend used to have a dedicated i740 card and it was quite fast but somewhat late to market, so lacked features.
The history will repeat itself now when they finally get out Larraalchemist; late to market and slow.

For it's time, it was a good GPU. Might be worth it to use the i740.
