If you collect enought Quantum3D Mercury Systems like the one in my signature file, you can do some fun stuff like this...

Fixed  ;)

That's a pretty badass setup! How do you get all those computers to link up to eachother to play a game? Can you imagine playing Half-Life or Unreal on a setup like that???

They connect together with some SyncLock/SwapLock cables, then you need the software to run them in that configuration...

That's freakin' insaine. So that's how that guy has all those computers rigged up too than huh? How much would something like that cost? I have enough working spare parts computers laying around my house (last count was 27 I believe, I needa start throwing those things out!)

Speaking seriously u might have 4 pieces of 4MB 30pin edo ram sticks? :P sounds insane but it would be welcome I'm building a cool looking retro system and a mem upgrade would be nice (I have 20MB now and the board supports max 32 so this is what I'm aiming for)

I actually have a ziploc bag full. I think I might have some larger ones also actually installed in a system. I'll have to check next time I go to my house (I'm currently living with my g/f)

Hmm... all mine are living in my SB AWE 32 cards.

I have 4 sticks of 72 pin EDO. Remember when 128MB was the Bomb!

I had a badass computer once upon a time. When only pentium's were out and 8MB was considered performance I had a socket 7 evergreen CPU and 256 ram with an ati rage tv tuner card and a 10g hdd. I was the envy of everyone in the school  ;D

Evergreen chip eh! What was it "overdrive" to intel___MHz or AMD___MHz?

Title: Re: OMG!!!!
Post by comptech_69 on 09.01.06 at 03:42:56
It was an upgrade to the Pentium. It ran @ 233mhz I have it overclocked to 38X? Too long ago to remember! it was badass untill my mobo's mouse port fried  >:(

I still use that 10g HDD lol

Ah cool 8)

Got you some new MMX technology ::)

I cold have used a serial mouse :-/

Title: Re: OMG!!!!
Post by comptech_69 on 09.01.06 at 06:24:08
I would have but a week later the whole header went so I didn't have a keyboard... No wait, I think it was the other way around because I remember having to type with my mouse. ahhhhhh yes! I use to have to type with my mouse all the time, and than the header went rendering the computer useless...

I was a bit confused  ???

Not too shabby considering it was like 10(?) years ago

I know a guy that collects CPUs, he might be interested in your Overdrive chip if you still have it.

Post by comptech_69 on 09.01.06 at 06:57:01
That thing is long gone, havn't seen it in about 5 years, although I prob I still have it in one of my boxes of computer parts.   :D

Well it's not like you would have made anything on it. It's just nice to get things into the hands of collectors if your just going to pitch the stuff.

I'm thinking about listing my first laptop on ebay. I've been tracking this one, same as mine...

I have some old Apple II's that I should list and some other mad old shit (like the first mac w/ a HDD and the last mac w/o one).
