If your going to play around with that 33Mhz pc I have a Intel Overdrive its a 486DX-33. I think the pc I took it out of was running a 66MHz. If you want it just E-mail me your address and it your. I don't think it cost over .50 or .60 cents to mail it. And to help someone out I'll mail it to you free. The intel overdrives come with a heatsink on them, put a 486 fan on there and your ready to go.

Ah...memories of computers old and gotten for free. The computer in my dorm room right now is a 1992 IBM PS/2 Model 9577-KNG. 80486DX/2-66, 24MB RAM (Parity at that), Microchanel bus, IBM XGA-2 graphics adapter, 2 SCSI HDD's 512MB and 1024MB, IBM 2.88MB FDD (remember those?), a DDS drive which I don't have drivers for, and two 16/4 Token Ring NIC's. About the PS/2 keyboard, it does weigh a lot, but it's the best keyboard I've ever seen. Currently it's running OS/2 Warp 3.0, still rock solid operating 24/7. The best part is that it weighs so much I don't have to worry about some idiot stealing it, he'd get a hernia. Nice to know the old guard aren't forgotten. Still, I want my ThinkPad to arrive soon, 13 weeks is WAY too long to wait. Note to IBM: Ship your damn A Series ThinkPads!!

) My 486-33 is still running strong! I bought it when the CPU was nearly $800!!! Ram was $100/mb. I had 8mb and it was the fastest kick ass thing I could have purchased! I toyed with overclocking it... the trick is you go to a hobby shop and buy a 40mhz clock crystal, same as the ones in the remote conrols and walkie-talkies... then you switch it with the one that says "33.3mhz" on it it seemed to work... but I got scared and went back to 33mhz hehe ahhh the days!

My first real system was an 8086 8mhz with 640k and no HD (back when a 286/12 was hot snot). Okok... let's not ignore the 64k Atari 800xl with dual 360k drives... or the Atari 400 with tape drive!

hehe trashing. man it was like 17 or 18 years ago when we used to go rummaging through trash to get credit card carbons and other "l33t" info at computer companies in silly-con valley. what a memory you brought up

i think the apple office in campbell was the most fun.

 

[chiwawa626]

i got like 5 or 6 486 cpu's waiting to be fryed
if i had a board that i could overclock on, ill bust out the Pal6035 from my TBIRD and slap it on that 486 and do some board mods and see wherre they go....heh

486 33MHz SLC using rebel decade on a chess problem comes through in 5mins58secs
PII 233MHz using rebel decade on a chess problem comes through in 9secs!!
Athlon classic 600MHz using rebel decade on a chess problem comes through in 2secs!!!
Rebel Decade is a DOS chess program BTW, very economical in resources.

Just thought I'd put these old chips into perspective. I have two 486s, hardly worth a dime. I bet they cost more in their day than my Athlon...!

 

[vvvvvv]

thats fast

Don't wreck it. That thing would make a perfect little linux server.

damn! be sure to post some 3D Mark 2000 scores!

Okay I'm back home and checking it out.
On the motherboard right next to the processor it says VL/1-486SV2GX4
On the processor it says Socket 3 (but I'm not sure it's the processor, it looks like its part of the processor plus a green and black thing on top of that. Then the fan is on top of that)
It has two memory sticks and I pulled one out but don't know how to tell anything from it.
It has a western digital Caviar 21000 HD 1083.8 MB

I'll write more tonight but I'm going to play some tennis.
