The athalon PC seems to work fine now, jsut need more ram, bigger PSU and graphics card. The 386 is mostly junk, good for autopsy

@hoppes9 Wish it was, gas was $.20 a gallon back then and a new house was $8,000. I work with antique electronics so I tend to use their terminology, condensers, micromicrofarads, cycles per second, etc., prevents confusion when reading old schematics.
i’ve got a filing cabenet with a draw full of 286 mobo’s :p
@OlegKostoglatov Condensers? Is it still 1950?
@HDXFH ok cool.
I can’t wait till I’m older, I know I’m gonna be exactly like him xD
living in Aus too >:D
@naterade21 Same here, my 6800XT died, so I just chucked in a cheap FX5500..
That still sounds all OK…
Except for that CPU xD
Seasonics are a Great PSU, the First Company that ever made Computer PSU’s
@V8Jagnut Actually I got a notice saying my vids can be longer than 15 Minutes
I hate Slow PC’s they are a pain in the arse
Must be the heat making it act up, but the condensers likely are not helping. I have one here that has stuffed condensers on the main board I think but I have a computer junkie friend that will check the software for me first. Every time you rip one of those computers apart it takes me back to the place I used to work, we would rip pallets full of college computers apart, render everything down, plastic, PC boards, power supplies, even CPUs, fun but hard on the fingers.

@douro20 Is that a Celeron D, then?
@lazaglider I think its a partner thing only.
i still use agp cards
well lucky find buut look more and like me you will find a core two quad and wow are they fast and you are always finding good speed computers i rarelt find a P4 or core 2quad and i have found better hard drives
The oldest computer I have at the moment is a Magnavox Videowriter- a 6502-based dedicated word processor from 1986. It works quite well.

@sheps999
Nope, the 2.4 had 256+256 L2 cache.
@karmabike1 and what have you used in the past macinsucks??
i got a frigging 46 pound antec computer that has 2 SCSI drives and its nuts but its two harddrives are dead
If that’s the Celeron I think it is, they were godawful processors. No L2 cache, so Intel boosted the clock speeds to try and get a bit more performance out of them. Don’t think it worked, as an Athlon XP at 2GHz will outperform a Celeron in everything.
