Great job! Some of the results surprised me, others didn't. But what I don't understand is that you have so few likes and comments? Thumbs up.

44:45 Not all slot processors have half cache speed. Only from Intel, those that have a cache on the board and not on-die. AMD Athlon in Slot A design have a 1/3 speed cache. Even before the release of the Pentium II, some manufacturers used a processor card with a CPU and cache to increase scalability. By changing the processor card, one 486 up to 4x Pentium could be installed in one motherboard.

man the early 2000s when tech was going mainstream, and it wasnt so "dorky/nerdy" anymore to like tech........such a weird transitionary time of societal norms.

Thanks for the detailed exposition! Was fun to hear this doing the jukebox thing on Friday! 😄

I've used the vgm file spec for a board I've made to interface a ym2151 clone that came out of a similarly cloned arcade mainboard. I certainly like the format, but it's annoying that it wants to be compatible with so many chips. In any case, cool to see this project! Sounds cool

I grew up with a Tandy 1000 TX. Some day might find one again.

4:07 MSX has AY-3-8910 as standard, not SN76489 (unlike YM2413 and Y8950, TI chip never came to MSX world in any form).

I lived down the street from a Radio Shack. Many memories of working on the Tandy, mostly the SX and TL models.

2002 gpu vs game from 2004….

as always i loved the vid pal from john from the uk

In high school, we had shop class where we learned how to use power tools and different kinds of hardware. We had a small period where we learned about computer hardware chips, and i will never forget our teacher being hyper serious about never touching the gold fins on it. He would constantly refer to it to "Fingering the fins". Even on the test. Meanwhile every single person on youtube is fingering the heck out of these gold fins like they are the king of the world.

I would appreciate if you explained the terms that you were using, at least shortly with 50 or less words so i could follow what flow control, or 'conditional branches', or 'function calls', etc etc are. You're using a ton of terms that at least 90% of people wont know and expecting them to really be able to follow along with the message you are trying to state. I like to learn. thats why i stuck around listening, but i cant picture most of what you're talking about because you aren't explaining any of the terms you're using. and i dont want to have to video hop around to look up these terms just to come back and try to get refocused on your video. Im trying to avoid getting ADD the best i can.

@3:36 there's a loan rack server on a shelf, I have like 20 of those things now, and I see them popping up everywhere. Mine are black, that one is beige, I can't tell if the badge/branding is significant or not... But it's identical. Mine are all PIII's or P4's but the cases I have are just 4u AT and ATX cases rather generic

Only one card could run it at the time the was the raideon 970 pro

I have a Sun U60 which I upgraded quite a bit. I think it's got 2x 333Mhz, 2GB RAM, USB card, GigEthernet card & XVR-600 graphics which run Quake very fast! 300gb scsi running Solaris 10.

I'd like to see you cover the Matrox Parhelia!

I have GeForce 4mx at that time

Aren't those more-or-less rebadged IBM RS/6000s that run a modified a version of AIX?

More SGI videos? They are so cool! We used them with Toonz, Power Animator and Maya in school way back in 97-98. My O2 has the same issue with the cdrom after sitting on the shelf for almost ten years. Your effort here will be a huge help if I decide to attempt a repair. I may just sell it though due to lack of free time. ):

back then 400-500 was the price of flagship gpus, crazy how times changed right?

That's not just a GPU, that's a workstation card. I recommend the brand and the model. 3DLabs cards were meant for workstations doing CAD, complex modeling, and they averaged as much as quadruple the amount of video RAM that a consumer market card has available. It's because it was a workstation card. I remember 1998 when these workstation cards had 64MB of RAM in a time when consumer graphics cards only had 16MB of RAM available. They're for heavy workloads too.

can you just get to the point 1 hour of my life wasted to you talking about nothing

very cool to see someone local to me with such passion

had a slotket adapter for putting a pentium 3 700E in my slot1 abit bh6 board back in the day (upgraded from a p2-350). but that was a 100mhz FSB board.

Used to have ATI Radeon HD 3870 AGP card if my memory serves me well allegedly the fastest AGP card, could run 'Crysis' in 1080p, test it! ;-)

It's amazing seeing these videos of your's that are technical deep drives.. I grew up on an Atari ST. Then eventually moved to a 486 (Woo it can run Doom!. Hey I was like 9 years old). Hey this 486.. It's so supposed to be so much better than my old Atari... Why cant I allocate an array above 68kb? Why can't I DMA files into RAM.. Why can't I directly deal with the framebuffer? "WTF I said, This thing is garbage!".. Ahh how things have moved.. I eventually got given a Heathkit MT6800 based trainer and started to learn more... I wish I could have had a mentor back then that could get the concepts of them all into my head. Most 3D work I ever did was raytracing on Sun SPARC boxes I used to sneak into the local University to use (And get kicked out by security every few hours).. Abd eventually when using a combined birthday and christmas money finally bought a Diamond Monster 3D, Started making Quake and HL levels.. Then was exposed to this game that blue my socks off.. It was called Unreal. I've been trying my paws at UE5.. It's a huge learning curve over what I ever did. But Damm does it look good

My emachines had a pci to run unreal tournament 1999 then one day poof! Dead.

Also an interesting machine or machines, it is a nice colletion :) Hope you've solved your problem with your DEC 3000/500 from your other video in the meantime. I posted my commend there before I watched it to the end.

Thanks for the video, it is interessting to see some of the early Alpha machines :)

How did you spin this into 45 minutes of film? How much cutting did you do? How long was the video before editing 3 weeks?

The TLDL bit is best started at 39:58 - the shorter answer is nope doom 3 runs total pants.

Funny how maxing out the brightness in D3 doesn't actually help that much...

As someone who has been waiting for well over a year to find a good deal on a classic Mac, seeing this collection is just mindblowing. So, so many machines i'd love to have or at least experience for once- the closest i've come so far was a G3 all-in-one, but with a ridiculous pricetag of well over 300 euros because "Its in the box".

What an epic score. People don’t understand once these things are gone they can never be made again. I have one of the Graphite G4s I restored to absolute mint.

The year was 2001 and the "bad mother" system to build was an ASUS dual slot-1 motherboard equipped with 2 Intel Pentium III 550mhz processors with 512mb of ram and of course the Voodoo 3d lol! I was running the cash register and phones at my dads PC shop and just thought I was going to die if I didn't get to build that thing then my dad built it for someone and I only got to watch, I remember thinking I would never ever have anything close to being that cool. I thought there would never be a more powerful computer. Now I have a rtx 4090 and 14900kf lol.

God is good, congrats, Sir.

I am really grateful you all came out and both took a chunk of the collection and found personal gems. I also truly enjoyed “hanging out” with other enthusiasts for the day and sharing the collection in person. I’ve been trying for years to clean around them while also find somebody/people to come take things away. There have been many failed attempts and I finally got to where I couldn’t fight the machines any more. I barely wanted to believe you were actually coming until it became too real to ignore. It was better than Christmas to me. It’s a shame we didn’t connect years sooner and you didn’t have another day or two. The machines (and number of machines) I’ve already re-homed is astounding. I had already cleared out multiple dozens of machines. Likewise, the things still hiding in boxes, the loft, and just piles are countless. Your efforts gave me much needed breathing room and reinvigorated my spirits a bit - I was getting pretty down about having to start scrapping stuff. The reality is that I will still have to scrap things because there is simply too much, but now I can be much more selective about it. The best of it set aside until I’m forced again to decide whether I keep it, give it away, or scrap it.

If the game was hardware-targeted optimized, you probably could squeeze an extra 20-25fps at least at the same resolution. It's just not worthwhile to do for business reasons $$$.

Wow what an awesome find, so much history that will be preserved, thank you for doing it and sharing.

Will there be any sales of these by chance?

My dad upgraded from his 1040STF to a Performa 475. The software "MagiC Mac" was the main reason that he switched. We still have a LC-PDS interface with serial and parallel ports that was patched into MagiC Mac to work directly with original printers and other hardware. I have lost the driver/patch floppy, though and cannot get the card to work anymore.

Nice haul. You said you got back home at 11 PM and started unloading the trailer. Dang! On the road at 3:15 AM, working hard in the heat. Long drives and still going at 11? Even if it took only one hour - that's still a 21 hour day!

I'd like to see a video on the 3rd Apple IIgs on the right. Not the 2nd one on the left, not the 2nd one on the right, not even the 4th one on the right - the 3rd one on the right.

Rare vintage video card? 👀

Definitely an excellent haul. You are lucky to be part of it. These NS700s are just amazing. Counting down the days to October...

Wow, excellent haul! 👍❤️

Doom 3 was ported to Original Xbox so why would a $1200 GPU from 2002 have any problem?

I want to see AIX running on those Apple servers. Many many moons ago I had an IBM RS/6000 as a desktop and that was my first (and only) AIX box and it definitely wasn't Unix or Linux. My God that barn was packed with stuff and I know you only scratched the surface...

I am not sure which is worse. Remember selling that stuff, or wanting that server you loaded up.

I hate you...😊
