- I was at the Flea Market again and I found three old computers in beige mini tower cases. Let's see what is inside them

Creative bought ensoniq, and probably was still contractually obliged to provide its customers, the third party suppliers with chips, but then printed "creative" on them.
Having done a lot of research on the Creative takeover of Ensoniq and collected all of the cards (mostly OEM versions), I can confirm you are correct. Creative effectively placed their stamp on the ES1370 chip to get rid of existing Ensoniq sound cards inventory. Creative would continue producing cards but with their revised chips 1371 and 1373 early on. The sound cards were primarily created for Dell, Gateway, etc. systems. DOS/Windows compatibility is pretty good but FM emulation is terrible in a lot of older games. The CT5800 series cards are easy to find and rather cheap. There were a couple more chips used like the 5880 and 1938 on these cards before Creative abandoned the AudioPCI series altogether. While I prefer Sound Blaster Live and X-Fi cards that came later, I am still quite fond of the Ensoniq series cards.
@@mesterak I suspected as much, but was not sure, thanks for confirming!
I ran a shop in the mid 90's to 2000 and sold many ESS cards, they were basically 1/3rd of the price of a sound-blaster 16, became quite recognized and drivers installed right off the bat, sadly not worth near as much as a SB16 I'd suggest - even today, the "budget" PC sound card that faded into oblivion when onboard sound came into it's own, people opted for more ram than better sound as a priority since the cheap Chinese (fake 120Watts) speakers sold with PC's didn't sound much different either way. next - Nailed it as a P2 btw ;) and kick me while I'm down, guessed the P3 as well :)
Awesome stuff.
It's kinda strange seeing these old machines.
I missed out on most of this stuff...got my first computer in 04 and it was a slow and hot P4.
The yellow instead of white is very common on some of the older cards like the GeForce MX series cards. Once the card warms up a bit the letters will look white instead of yellow.
EDIT: I did have a Trident card once that stayed yellow permanently. Probably a common failure in the chip itself. I do have others that start all yellow instead of white but normalize after some uptime.
@22:15 Creative bought Ensoniq. Up until then Creative had only made ISA bus sound cards and didn't have a PCI compatible card. I believe the name of that card was the Ensoniq AudioPCI. It's actually an Ensoniq made card, but Creative labs bought them and started repackaging and selling them under the Creative labs brand. Later Creative came out with their own PCI sound cards.
I have a Polaroid drive like that. It’s nothing special but neat to see the Polaroid name on a CD drive lol
YAY Always fun seeing old systems! I Stopped collecting x86 systems, most of them run cycle exact via PCemv17 nowadays. 🙂
Hi Dicky, not sure if I seen right, but on that last board, I think the fan for the cpu wasn’t connected, not that it would’ve mattered, cause the 90 so degrees coming out of that chip, was definitely the issue, it’s gonna be a great second video to watch you repair that graphics card showing yellow and the repair of the chip, as always great work, keep up the awesomeness mate. 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Joe from Australia 🤙🏼🇦🇺
Actually I didn't check but as you mention the board never powered up past standby anyway so the CPU itself would not have been getting warm at all
Try a reflow on that chip while you're waiting for the replacement
These Ensoniq soundcards (soon acquired by Creative) really were rather good performers by consumer standards back in the day. This AudioPCI 3000 model would still have run at 44.1 kHz (as evidenced by the 22.5792 MHz xtal), so music playback would not have required resampling, unlike the AC97-compliant models at 48 kHz that followed. Resampling was of notoriously poor quality (or computing intensive) back in those days, so that became a contentious topic. Either way, don't expect too much from the SB emulation side. The driver situation from Windows 2000 onwards is also rather poor, with recording being limited to mono.
the first ones case is a in win a500 very nice case u should keep that one around or try to sell it i would take it but im too far away
I honestly didn't think the BXcel board was going to work. When you first got it out, I swear I could have seen broken traces on the board.
Heya for learning expieriance it would be great to chance the I/O chip so for me it;s a go
Third is PCChips M771LMR
The IT8712 that's overheating is the superio.
ECS mobo has some puffed caps?
Please help me. I will change the MOSFET of my motherboard because it was damaged by water. Will this change affect anything? Can you advise me what to do? The motherboard is asus tuf gaming b450m pro s
The second machine had usb added, so it has at least PCI slots, and would have run win98. I am betting s3 virge on that one.
Aw, a trident. Less common than a virge iirc.
PCChips M729 btw
Too many camera's
There is no such thing! Maybe too many monitors 😂
Never too many cameras.
How many would you recommend I use, and which ones do you think are not needed?
