MandoPatriot Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 AMD 4400+ Athlon X2 Abit AN8-SLI BFG 7950 GT OC (x2) Main specs I can remember lol. Ran Counterstrike:Source at around 200 FPS. Not bad. That was before all the texture redo's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I guess I'll do the whole lot of them (from what I can remember). First machine that was personally mine: Pentium 66 upgraded with an OverDrive! chip at 120 MHz 64 MB RAM Who knows what motherboard, it came from Microcenter Second rig: Celeron 300 overclocked to 450 MHz 128 MB RAM or so Again, random motherboard from Microcenter. I think it was a Tyan Third: Celeron 800 overclocked to 1.2 GHz 256 MB RAM (maybe 384? It was a long time ago) GPU was a Riva TNT2 m64, overclocked slightly but not much No clue on the motherboard, something green. Fourth: Athlon XP 1700+ DLT3C running at 2.4 GHz (stock speed 1.4 GHz). I modded it using the exacto knife trick and bits of wire in the socket to raise the stock vcore. DFI nForce 2 Ultra Infinity 768 MB RAM Geforce ti4200 with a lapped core (yes, I was insane to do this) and a custom heatsink/fan combo Fifth: Athlon64 3000+ overclocked to something I don't remember...and updated to an Opteron 175 at some point which I de-lidded Chaintech VFN4 Ultra mobo 9800 Pro modded to XT 1.5 GB RAM The rest of my systems from then on aren't quite old enough to be called dinosaurs just yet.

Bosco Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I think the first good system I had was a PIII 700MHZ, the fastest at the time I think was a 733mhz. I had a 40GB HDD, 64MB SD 100MHZ Memory, 4X CD Burner and a 8MB Savage 4 Video Card man I was the man on block with that rig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectrascope Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) My first power house was a gateway(lol) I modded back in 2000 P3 667mhz(really 666) 133 bus with a thermal right copper sink and 92mm fan(no oc as the mobo didn't support neither did any software at the time) The mobo would support 1GB of PC 133 ram which it did have It had two 80GB drives running in raid zero, A cd burner A soundblaster sound card that ran 24-bit A creative geforce 2 MX with 64MB DDR and a stock core clock 175mhz custom cooled as the original did not even come with a heatsink the custom cooler was a chopped up cpu sink with arctic silver's thermal adhesive holding it in place, an a 80mm fan mounted to it, it was Oced to 225mhz on the core thx to that mod. It would play half life with the best of them in it's day. Edited April 17, 2012 by spectrascope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daragh Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I had a Time Pc at one point. Lasted 5 years until the motherboard melted; turns out you have to CLEAN the computer every second year or so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Geforce ti4200 with a lapped core (yes' date=' I was insane to do this)[/quote'] I salute your balls of steel!
