So basically is anything worth anything. Can I use one of the LAN cards in my pc is it better than onboard. And where the hell does the processor go on the ASUS

 

That's all for now.

First off what are these things

 

Probably parts of an old printer

 

and what is this cable for

 

Old style FDD cable

 

And some mobos

 

ASUS

And where the hell does the processor go on the ASUS

 

Above the PCI slots; it's probably a Slot1 P2 but could be a SlotA AMD

 

Tyan

does that have the processor on it hmm? what ram does it use? can I run it?

 

Obviously a CPU (possibly a P1) is installed; uses simms, which were in use before dimms came around

 

1st?

Not sure W/O seeing a pic of the terminator

 

Any of these network cards good, maybe for my pc? Maybe the intel one?

Can I use one of the LAN cards in my pc is it better than onboard.

 

All PCIs so they should work fine; Better than onboard? maybe the 1000T intel if the MB only supports 10/100T otherwise not (unless the MB doesn't have onboard LAN LOL)

 

And a PSU

 

should be a good backup for an old rig or for running the pump of an H2O rig during leak testing.

 

Are these both PC-133mhz?

 

Not sure about the second one but the first is

 

Worthless?

 

nowadays yes; unless you still have 2 parallel printers that you want to connect to one machine W/O having to physically change cables to swap printers.

I had a chuckle at the Y2K compliant stuff too....then i realized that Y2K paranoia led to my completely missing having ANY fun on NYE that year.

 

Some idiot thought that I HAD to be at the office monitoring things, but It was a Waste Of Time. Officially.

Not that it matters but isn't the bios software? lol

 

Exactly my point.

 

AFAIK the root problem was W/ accounting (and other) software using a short format for the year. I'm not sure if the BIOS used the short format as well.

 

Even if it was in the BIOS, flashing it would make it Y2K compliant
