I remember QNX guys shocking the planet with an OS fitting into a single floppy which connects to the Internet and have a complete GUI/ Web Browser. It is a realtime OS.
hi mate, awesome stuff! I really enjoy these intel mainboards, the endeavor is a great piece of hardware for a non mmx cpu! is there a follow up to this video, where u did add l2 and maybe another graphics card, for comparison? cheers!
Brings back memories. I installed it on for a small city for an email server. I advised against it, but they got hacked in short order. I had recommended Slackware instead as I had not had Slackware systems hacked into. Those were the days :D
I'm reading "Understanding Digital Computers", 2nd Ed. Forrest M. Mimms. With a Tandy EX 1000 on the cover,showing Desk Mate(my reason for buying it!), a great reference book(textook, but easier to understand!) Copyright 1987. Great book. eBay!
whats more amazing is Unreal Tornament 2000 released in 1999 that ran great on a celeron 433 with 64 ram and 8meg SIS built in graphics looks still modern and amazing today but if you see PC gaming from 1985 and before its terrible.... to be honest all the inovation and graphics improvements in games happened from 1990 to 1999. Now you can run Company of heroes on max settings on any cheap laptop but Company of heores 2 that looks only 25% better needs a Computer 8 times faster and will still push a modern laptop to the max on high settings.... game codding has become garbage and these silly graphical effects that take up 4 gig VRAM have become ludicrous.... that unreal tornament 2000 ran great on any 4meg vodoo card yet modern games now want 8000 meg ? are they 2000 times better ? of course NOT
This is indeed where it started. With Enlightenment. This is where the whole Linux community was diverted into thinking customization is all about looks, and forgot all about features.
but isn't better to use an emulator on a new machine? lie laptop?? i guess pretty much yes.. why buying this impossible to carry stuff.. we have such many advancements .. laptop with incredible screens. it's a wast of plastic and tech.. anc especially once you do commodore than why nor amiga.. and al of the software made for the commodore.. ???
The longer PCI slots are PCI-X slots. It was mainly used for some high end graphic cards, IDE / SCSI controllers (and towards the end of its lifespan, SATA as well). It was also specified for both 32 and 64-bits (hence why it was used in DEC workstations - DEC Alpha CPUs being RISC x64) and also removed the bus limitation of PCI bus frequency, being limited to 66 MHz, and extended it to 133 MHz. So in short, the PCI-X bus was a 64-bit, 133 MHz extension of the PCI bus. Important to note that PCI-X supported both 3.3 and 5V cards.
Cool video except the plug that references a $4.00 set of screwdrivers that a certain company will charge a person $49.99 for. I mean I have a Stanley screwdriver with changeable bits that I use for all of my computer related work and it was the best $9.99 that I ever spent almost 30 years ago. (The set of tools that "whoever fix it" charges 49.99$ cost me absolutely nothing when I got it for free after buying some car parts at autozone (it even has sockets as well as screwdriver bitsl). So don't make someone else wealthy since you can buy the same tools at 1/10th the price that this company sells them for. Unless you need some sort of validation to recognize that you are an amazing person who can fix things that have screws holding it together. eye fix it is taking advantage of people who seem not to realize that when you use a screwdriver you should hold it in the same hand that you write with. Seriously, if you are inquisitive and intelligent enough to be taking apart a hard drive then you certainly are intelligent enough to realize that you shouldn't pay extortion level prices for a set of screwdrivers; instead make a donation to your favorite charity or something... You will feel more 'special' afterwards. (I really do like this video because it shows the type of ingenuity that all humans posses and that a couple of unusual screws aren't going to suppress). My hat is off to the author.
First thing is, what type of P4 is it? :D There's QUITE bit difference between willamette, northwood and prescott. Also soc 423 vs 478 and sdram vs rdram vs ddr. Willamette on 423 can easily suck behind P3 coppermine (oc) or tualatin. It was mostly thanks to bad socket design (soc 423) and weird motherboard issues/lack of good boards.
wow i'm impress my218play do the same blue light blinking just answer my curious thank you very much for make nice in-detail video. look forward to your next one.
I had a Pentium III 900mhz, kingston 512mb ram, PNY Geforce4 ti 4600, Maxtor 80gb hhd I built in I think 2001 and used all the way till 2006. Even then it was starting to struggle with some games but overall for daily use it was still plenty fast. I think for a while I had it overclocked to 1 or 1.1ghz with the Asus board I had.
I enjoyed the nostalgia of this video. If I can access older drives and find something of interest, I will image the drive. Then I write zeros, or low level format them then see if I can install at least DOS or Linux on them.
My first non-gaming console computer was a TRS-80 Model III. :) It had 64kB RAM (could have been 48 probably) and 2 5.25" 360kB floppy drives. I had an external amplifier connected to the cassette port. I once wrote a Wheel of Fortune-like game in BASIC with a Z80 assembly routine for sound. The code was probably an eyesore. I was just 14 years old. I liked using LDOS much more than TRS-DOS. I had the Model III in 1988. Yeah, rather late in the life of the Model III. Dealing with the primitive graphics and sound (or lack thereof) was so much fun!
you know something funny, i starting to believe all this drama between novell vs sco unix that i am starting to believe entire time people didn't realize sco unix is not unix at all entire time ...its early version of novel suse linux booting up early sysv init system...i don't think novel copy anyone , it seems sco unix copy suse linux platform and call it sco unix
Good times. reminds me of my first PC. A Packard Bell 486 SX, which was basically a over clocked 386 using the 386 motherboard but the ability to hit 486 processing speeds. Still wasn't as powerful as a 486DX machine. I also had a TV card that came installed in the unit which was super rare at the time. Logitech speakers with a 14 inch Packard Bell monitor in which they upgraded it for free because of compatibility issues with the TV card. There were some issues with all of that and I think it was under powered as it being a 486 SX machine opposed to being a more powerful 486DX.
Pure nostalgia games 😍😍. I played that overdrive, Skyroads, Tetris and Vroom.. Some of the games here shown i didnt played it due to limited time use of computers. Also you forget to show that Popular Dangerous Dave game.
Thanks for reviving those golden memories ❤. I did remember my brother had one creative blaster sound card for windows 98 machine and especially had that creative sbs speakers. Being a millennial kid i remember playing epic pin ball, f1 grand prix and Labyrinth game was mind blowing in that 90's decade..
back in 2003 i use to install this Redhat 5.2 in a intel 486. it took me 5hours to install it. you need to know all the brand of you hardware esp. the Video Card.
Really enjoyed this video. I still remember how excited I was when I managed to save up and bought a SB AWE32 in the mid 90s. That was the best sound card you could get at the time….
