Build an ancient rig 2day

DaSnIpE · Feb 21, 2003, 10:20 PM

Found some somewhat decent stuff, lol

Asus TX97-E (Forget the chipset)
Pentium 233 MMX 512KB cache
48 MB Edo Ram (Has 2 DIMM slots for SDRAM)
2 Maxtor HD's (1 2GB and 1 4GB)
Ati Mach 64 VT Video Card (PCI)
Linksys 10mbs NIC (ISA)
Sound Blaster AWE 64 (ISA)
2 CD Rom drives, 1 24X and 1 16X I think
14" Ghetto SVGA Monitor
Just installed Win98 SE, no hickups, hehe

I'm going to make this a mp3 pc and a Voice Communication server (Either Teamspeak or Ventrio)

What else can this thing do, lol.

DriveEuro · Feb 22, 2003, 12:49 AM

Just a basic drone.... Use it to download shit and just poke around on the internet.

DaSnIpE · Feb 22, 2003, 05:06 AM

Ya for sure, hehe, I likve win98, it's soo empty, lol

Ryo-Ohki · Feb 24, 2003, 12:04 PM

A Linux machine! Because a P233MMX is a terrible thing to waste!!

DaSnIpE · Feb 25, 2003, 07:40 PM

Ah, ISA slots, that brings back memories.

ISA slots? You can still get ISA slots on mobos.

I'm pretty sure Micro ATX motherboards had them. They were on a couple of my Emachine computers. Never used them though.

I had one on my old Dell P3 800. I used my old Netgear NIC in it.

JavaFox · Feb 27, 2003, 02:18 AM

My first Athlon board still had one... I used a modem in it.

DaSnIpE · Feb 28, 2003, 05:52 PM
