Non techie people tended to call their entire computer the “CPU” not realizing that actually referred to one specific chip inside not the entire machine.
I've always loved IBM blue.
Great video! When I was in high school in the 1990s, it was all Apple Macs.
WOW !!!!
What a blast from the past !!!!
Ah the 300GL, I installed so many of them at the start of my career, and a few years later scrapped them all as we moved to Dell
Battle Beast, the memories. Great video I remember these.
Didn't recognize it by name, but as soon as you started playing I remembered spending TONS of hours on Battle Beasts. Haven't had a single thought about that game in years. Now I have to go find a version to download
I had this exact computer for several years. Those Pentium MMX chips were incredibly adaptable: I ran my 200 MMX at 250 MHz after moving it to a newer motherboard in a new case.
At a net startup back in the 2000s, I had a stack of Pentium 3 300GLs on a shelf in our server rack, along with some pricey netfinity servers.
Battle Beasts looks like what would happen if Humongous Entertainment (creator of Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, Putt-Putt, and other animated edutainment games for children) made a fighting game.
I bought one on ebay some years ago. Slightly later model with pentium ii. Advertised for Windows 95/NT I suspect it was in an office running NT until it was retired and hard drive removed and eventually acquired by the ebay seller. I added a 20 GB HDD put Win 98SE on it, added RAM, and got a faster Pentium II forgot what i put in since im tired right now, added matrox graphics card, a soundblaster live, ethernet card, case badges from Geeknspiel. I later on I went crazy and put in a 120 gb sata HDD with a sata to ide adapter. Works well at least for me! I had a purchased a fully restored and ready win 98 pc but the 300GL was my first restoration and upgrade of a retro computer. Learned alot especially having a clear vision so I dont waste money plus defining if it is an actual restoration or a maxing out for gaming purposes like I did. Not every computer i touch needs to be my childhood dream PC, but it was a great experience!
I used to have a clone with that Cirrus Logic video card. It was a standout unit for its day... I think it had a whopping 512 KB of VRAM on board.
Ha, that PC comes from my area. Bethlehem Area School District is located in the City of Bethlehem in Northamption County.
You can open the system panel by clicking right on "My Computer" and then on properties
Very cool Win 95 pizza box. I remeber having to use similar machines in a couple of classes in high school. I feel old now. 😂
You think YOU feel old. My high school computer class was a bunch of Apple IIs, CoCos, TRS-80s, and my own C64 (my teacher allowed me to bring in my own since I was already familiar with it and the school was short on computers anyway).
The Bethlehem Area Vo-Tech (BAVT) was associated with the Northampton County Community College. How on Earth did it end up in your area?
😊great
I think the processor markings will be underneath on the pin side
You are correct! The speed will be the last three numbers at the end of the first line of text.
Yes, on that era of CPU they were. I'm surprised he didn't take the chip out of the socket to check that.
lol great game
I don't like proprietary floppy drives.
These were in every best buy in the USA. I hated that machine.
