Hmmm... although it's a long ago, and I'm not 100% sure, I think that you may not be correct. (btw, this isn't a flame!). I do remember adverts for 8/12 and 12/16MHz PC's, with the higher speed refered to as Turbo. However, I could well be wrong (or have wholly misunderstood the turbo button...

Cor, the Turbo button that increased clock speed by 4Mhz. 12Mhz from an 8Mhz box, 16 from a 12Mhz box. Lovely idea. I had a PS/2 at work, and they didn't have turbo buttons :-( We used to use DrawPerfect for diagrams in WordPerfect documents. and it ran sooo slowly on a 286. Xtree was a dream...

Yes, the mindlink to control the damm thing. If only Atari's project hadn't been cancelled in 1986... Reply to earlier post - Commodore PET 2001-> PET 4000 -> Video Genie (TRS-80 Model 1 Level II) ->C64 ->128 ->A500 ->B2000 ->PCs (more than a stick can be shaken at) All bar C= PET 2001 still...

Hehehe I still have several Amigas. 1. B2000, with GVP G-Force 68030 40MHz, PicassoII, ICD FFV, SuperIO board, GG2 ISA card, Nexus SCSI (for when the GVP is switched out), 32mb RAM, Internal SCA copier, ROMSwitch, and loadsa other boards and mods. Still used 2. A4000/030 with WarpDrive 68040/...

Many thanks

Try dabs.com They are UK, so you might be, shall we say unimpressed, with UK prices... consider yourselves lucky :-)

I have a feeling I asked this last week - but its been a horrible week, and if I did, I cant find it. Anyroad - does anyone know how AMD numbere their CPU's? What is the meaning of the last 4 digits? e.g. KV3C, KV3D, KV4D Many thanks, and apologies for any double posting Alan

Not a lot. I've been die-hard SCSI since the very early 90's. Back in the days of IDE and PIO, there used to be a hell of a performance advantage to SCSI. For example, my P133 and PPro200 rigs were built using IDE, then went to SCSI (Adaptec 2940UW and 9gb UW drives), between 1996-98. The...

I have a copy of PCW from August 1985 at home, (review of the Amiga 1000 - wowowow did I want one), there was also reviews of the Compaq Deskpro 286 and Kaypro 286, iirc proces were around £4000 for a 286-8Mhz (might have been 12Mhz...) with 512Kb memory. Thats motherboard RAM, not CPU cache ;-)...

Hi guys Looking for some buying advice/opinion, as I upgrade (hah, rebuild!) my AMD rig. Am looking at an nforce platform, and (eventually) 400MHz FSB Athlon. But, don;t want to buy if there is something better just around the corner. So... 1. Is there a new nforce chipset due soon? Have...
