I had an Olivetti XANA 233MMX. 1997. 32MB Ram, 4gb HDD, 2MB S3 ViRGE, Win 95 later upgraded to Win2kPro. Had the same monitor, speaker base, microphone, keyboard etc, but it was a tower case, same colours with the cdrom/floppy & same power button, was a very good quality pc.
very similar to my first computer, only my processor was an AMD K5 133, at first it also only had 16 mb of RAM, but later expanded to 32 mb. the video card was an S3 trio with 2 MB, and the hard drive was 1.1 GB. at the end of 1997, it was already a rather modest computer, but it was all I could afford at that time, but even despite the outdated configuration, it gave me many positive emotions, it's a pity that later I had to sell it too cheaply in order to invest money and buy a more modern one computer
I'm pretty sure that someone else has already mentioned it but in case they haven't the format of desktop computer where the cards are on a riser card is called LPX form factor. It was used up until the release of the Pentium 2 machines, where having the riser bifurcate the interior of the case would have caused issues with air flow. LPX was followed by a form factor called NLX, where the riser is on the edge of the motherboard, and usually is locked in place with a latching system.
If you still have the original machine with the borked BIOS, you should be able to reflash the BIOS using the image from this new one, assuming they have the same motherboard. Soldering may be involved This is actually an industry standard form factor called LPX. It was pretty common in the mid-late 90's. Olivetti machines are thin on the ground on this side of the pond, a few rebadged AT&T machines notwithstanding. Edit: Ahhh, that Oddball sound card is some Olivetti weirdness. I suspect they did that to recover some real estate on the mother board and use deadspace in the case.
Yes cool I thought about that. At some point I will try removing and reading the chip off this one, would be cool to get the other one up and running again😁

Yes same here, at that time I built my own p133 in and old case. Was pretty slow for the time but I still loved it!

Great Olivetti xana
Its a nice little machine, pretty too!
@@66mhzbrain thanks
Two intel chips around CPU are not L2 cache, they are part of chipset, "data path unit"
You need to downmix your mic to mono because it's all on the left channel.
