7:03 that QuickTime popup has (I presume) an early instance of a "Later" button, instead of "No, don't ask me again" which seems to be rampant nowadays.
A couple of hours ago I went to Goodwill's computer store. I picked up an eMachine with a Cyrix M-II 333 in it. I have a K6-2 300 or maybe my P233MMX that I'll swap in its place tonight.
I remember building the first Cyrix 6x86 machine back in 1996... the processor fan was so incredibly noisy that I thought the hdd bearings had failed. The diameter of the fan was fairly small but man it revved like mad. Those early processors ran pretty hot since they were still using 5V power iirc.
+Mawerick77 Think about the Pentium 4. These early Chips might need much voltage but the actual power draw was pretty small. Even a P III with ober 1 GHz didn't use more than about 40W
I originally had an older 6x86-PR166+ on the board. Around 1999 or 2000 was when I upgraded it to the MII-PR266 (which is overclocked to 3 x 75 MHz here, a speed normally used with the PR300).
Correct, it is a standard VGA monitor, model 8518. The model 8514 is the oldest IBM monitor to support 1024x768 graphics, although it can only display interlaced video at that resolution.
I used a Cyrix 6x86 166 in 1997 but it always ran hot. I later replaced it with a AMD K6 200 which ran much cooler. Those baby AT cases were always fun to work on with all those cables crammed inside!
I remember I overclock my P-150+ from 120 to 133 MHz and I used a software called "rainfall" or something like that. Damn, that was a good CPU for that money.
Cyrix CPUs were pretty electrically inefficient, which coupled with the high core voltages resulted in lots of heat. The weird bus speeds also caused many issues because neither RAM or motherboard cache at the time could cope with 75/83 MHz bus speeds.
I agree, I got that 6x86 as a package deal with a "Opti Viper" motherboard, a real piece of junk. The power heatsink would get red hot too. Cyrix did make lower power CPU's later on, but I heard the MII CPU's could also get hot under a load. AMD's K-6 and K6-II were much better and cooler running Super 7 CPU's.
In 1997, I bought my first PC for 1552$CAN, taxes included. I guess it would be 3000$CAN with today's dollar. I didn't include a CD drive to cut costs and bought a cheap 15 inch screen. It was a TTX. It was a Cyrix 686 P200L. The L means Low Voltage. This is the version that you want to buy.
I wish i had that version, I might have hung onto that setup longer. The 3.52v 6x86 gave me the impression then that all Cyrix CPU's ran hot. But for a few years they were very popular with the OEM Mom & Pop computer stores here in Texas. A friend of mine picked up a couple of old computers from a business that had been used for years. When we dismantled them for parts I was surprised they all had Cyrix or IBM CPU's.
My wife had a Cyrix MII system when we first met. It was a hunk of junk. It only lasted a year or two. I had a K6-2, which was pretty powerful for that time. I think she got a Celeron system after that, which was a huge upgrade.
The board does have a pinout for USB connectors, but the chipset was based on an early beta version of the USB standard which didn't work correctly with real USB 1.0 devices, so PC Chips permanently disabled it in the BIOS. And yes, I was using it with an external modem, which I did a video on a while back ("Phoebe Micro 56K V.92 external modem").
Cool build from back in the day. I had no idea you could still get an AT-style mobo in 2000. And SIMM memory for that matter! I had a hell of a time finding some for a computer I had back then.
Computer show special indeed. That board is from 97-98, by 2000 it was clearance parts. ATX machines appeared in 1997 and new AT boards were pretty much gone after 1999. I recycled a Bigfoot from a Compaq at one point too. The machines I built for people during 2000 were Socket 370 Pentium III based!
I had a P2-450 based Deskpro back in 2000, and it too had a ghetto CPU cooler. The passive heatsink would get scary hot under load, so I wrapped a thick rubber band around the CPU cartridge to hold three 40mm fans to the heatsink. It actually worked quite well!
Oh wow, I actually have one of those Bigfoot's lying around. Where I live I've never seen any other lying around, but it was from my very first computer. The massive size of them makes them look good on a shelf of hardware.
I remember a computer in the computer lab at our school have those same speakers. They were hooked up to a slim Dell OptiPlex GX470 P4 system. They are some good sounding speakers for being two-channel. And that they're harmon/kardon speakers.
I had a Compaq Presario 5304 with a M II 366 chip purchased in 1999. I thought the M II must stand for a Pentium II and bought this inexpensive computer. It later had blue screens with system failures. My friend who is a system admin found that his wife had purchased the same computer before they had married. She was having the same problems with it. My friend researched it and found that it was a Cyrix M II chip. Cyrix was an independent chip manufacturer that had gone out of business and had known chip stability problems. My friend coordinated me to replace my chip with an AMD chip while he was replacing his wife's PC's chip with an identical AMD chip. After this, the computer ran like a champ. It was replaced a couple years later with a newer, faster PC.
I can't believe the Bigfoot is still running. My brother-in-law worked at a computer store back in the '90's and the Bigfoots seemed to fail on a monthly basis. You must have gotten lucky. :)
It's amazing how technology has changed in 10 years. 10 years ago people were rolling on Pentium IIIs with 1 core and a 600-1200mhz sort of clock speed. Now slow is considered a 3ghz dual core!!!
Well, for some things, I can stand interlaced video. Some interlaced video (i.e, 1080i) I cannot. I really do not use CRT monitors as primary displays; because 1) they sometimes have low resolutions, 2) they smell bad when they're dusty and hot in use, and 3) THEY'RE HEAVY! But it would be cool to have an old IBM CRT. They're getting rare...
yes in 2000 they had ps2 ports and USB ports. I custom built a brand-new Intel pentium 4 2.0 ghz. given to me by Intel with the mother board. that was before the initial launch in November I had to sign a waiver stating I would not allow any one to see the inside of my computer untill public release. which was a few months this later. a perk for paying attention about features while they trained us to sell them in stores and what the benefits were over buying AMDs processors it was pretty much the Front side buss.
I resurrected an IBM Aptiva a couple months ago that hadn't been plugged in for the better part of a decade (latest date modified tag I could find was from 2003.) Date was spot on, and the time was only an hour and a couple minutes off.
Usb was around but was a premium. I have a compaq deskpro en from the year 1999 and it has usb but at that point if you had a smaller budget then usb probably wasn't needed
True, and, from what I understand, USB 1 was the butt of a joke being that it was often called useless serial bus instead of universal serial bus until about usb 2 came around.
I believe that that specific model of IBM CRT runs natively at 640X480 @ 60 Hz. There might be other models that can do 800X600 or 1024X768, but that one is too old for higher resolutions...
I remember this one time I used a computer with an M2 cpu in it, and thinking how much slower it felt than my 300mhz AMD K6 powered Compaq Presario 2256. I think I have an IBM branded 6X86L in a box somewhere in my closet.
I really want one of those CRT IBM monitors. It's a very old school classic looking monitor. What's the highest resolution and refresh rate it can produce? I'm surprised how quick that old computer still runs.
I recognize it right away haha. I have a quantum Bigfoot in my dell optiplex because the original seagate scsi drive is failing. It's also the same model as your Bigfoot too as well as the same size
Btw, to enable the text-mode-message, you need to move "LOGOS.SYS" from the root directory to another folder of your choice. It contains the same message as a graphic, which in this case, if not found by the system as expected, goes back to text mode.
Halen Martini They soon released a Windows 95 with USB support disc, for higher end computers of the time. I'l take a picture of it if you don't believe me
I use to have the update file for USB for Win 95. I downloaded from microsoft but I deleted it or lost it. I also had a infra-red support file from them and another update. It was 3 EXE. I have the Win 95 OSR2 CD.
Wow, I have a simalar case with an older Cyrix 6x86 PR166 made by IBM. It had windows 98 for some strange reason with a still-working Maxtor 800MB disk. I bought it for 5 dollars in 2005!
The PC Chips PC I had to work with (at length) had that chipset, and you're right about the onboard video, it was really worthless (used it as the 2D for a Voodoo2 12MB, which thankfully didn't require an IRQ)! I've tried all sorts, but have to say that Intel helps (and so what if that's due to better software support? I need a working system not a tweak-practice just to achieve stability) My computers these days can run 24/7 rock solid, or I get rid of them. So, PCChips taught me well, in fact!
Random and slightly irrelevant fact. Harrison's marine chronometer H5 built in 1750 ish had an accuracy of +/- 0.2 secs a day. It would have lost or gained maybe 5 or 6 minutes in 5 years...As long as you kept it wound up...
Ok I'd have guessed a Western Digital judging the hollow rattling but the spin-up sound like a jet engine should have lead me to the bigfoot. Had a 4 GB bigfoot once, was just awful slow but otherwise quite reliable. We still have that drive somewhere I think. The second drive you have looks suspiciously like a Maxtor old stock that has been bought out and relabeled by Quantum because original Quantum 3.5 inch drives traditionally had more a brick shape with a flat top plate.
VWestlife Yes you're right had seen some Quantum Fireball-ish Maxtor drives around 2000... must have got confused what went on. But was there another third party manufacturer where Quantum sourced drives from and relabeled them? But can't find anything useful about it.

No, LGR was wrong. In most PCs, pushing in the turbo button makes it run at full speed (as indicated by the turbo button lighting up). If you leave it off, the system will run slower.
Cyrix MII = shit. PC Chips = shit. I had to fix a computer from PC Chips that had the mobo PCI slots in the wrong order, so that you couldn't avoid a conflict with the AGP card, which was onboard, so you couldn't avoid a conflict. SIS chipset, too: WEAK. The AMD K6-2 CPU was the strong-point in the rig, go figure.
I always loved Cyrix's cheeky stab at Intel with the "CyrixInstead" tag line
Genuine Intel
Cyrix Instead
Authentic AMD
Those were the text you get when you execute the cpuid instruction in your program.
I watched this two times because i love those old computers! More please!

Why does the Windows 98 startup sound always skip a little?
+skil3z #becausewindozed
+𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝟯𝘇 It seems that it does on older hardware, on a SoundBlaster Audigy, it doesn't do that.
I think the CPU is at 100% utilization and it chokes a little. On faster CPUs it doesn't do it, in my experience at least.

Those IBM monitors are really nice and sharp.
I found a custom built P II machine with alot of cards, PCI and ISA, and I also found a custom Socket 7 Pentium MMX.
It's not a PC Chips motherboard. It is an Amptron PM8600A.
Right. The PC CHIPS M863G V5.1A motherboard is red.

@@gentuxable Another manufacturer that relabeled Quantum Drives was Nikimi. I had a 15GB Nikimi (Quantum-based) which had the motor dead.

it makes the system run like a 8088 or 286 cpu so you can play old dos games that run too fast on newer pcs.
No, LGR was wrong. In most PCs, pushing in the turbo button makes it run at full speed (as indicated by the turbo button lighting up). If you leave it off, the system will run slower.
I don't think your system supports turbo.
Mine didn't and they did not connect the turbo button to the motherboard.
It was for 486 systems.
nice

Ihad 1,2gb Bigfoot and Cyrix 6x86 133 :)
Quantum Bigfoot?
Cyrix MII = shit. PC Chips = shit. I had to fix a computer from PC Chips that had the mobo PCI slots in the wrong order, so that you couldn't avoid a conflict with the AGP card, which was onboard, so you couldn't avoid a conflict. SIS chipset, too: WEAK. The AMD K6-2 CPU was the strong-point in the rig, go figure.
The problem was the PC Chips motherboard.
