Anyone remember what a "fast" PC was in '98

NERRRRDDDDDDD

If it is all in that good of condition - ebay that shit. You’d prolly fetch $1-2k from some suuuuuper-nerd.

holly shit lol

128MB!!! sweet fancy moses!

i remember going on prodigy and BBSes on my 12Mhz computer with ooh! amber screen!
if i hit the “Turbo” button i could get it up to 24Mhz on a good day. i was nearly bankrupt when my 8MB hard drive died and i had to buy a new one. i was so special, most people only rocked the 2 floppy drives, but i had a HUGE hard drive too.

that clip was great by the way

/supernerd

yea i remember that, i bought my first computer in 98, it was a P2 300mhz with a 10 gb hard drive lol fuckin shit cost me like 2 grand with the monitor, and that was a good “deal” back then too :rolleyes:

Holy shit I remember the Turbo button on the computers in school. That is so funny.

I had almost all the same stuff as they did back in 98. Smaller version of the addtronics case, Abit motherboard, but I had a Celeron 300A that I OC’d to 450!!! :eek: Adaptec 2940UW, 2 8GB SCSI drives, 2 MonsterII accelerators in SLI… and I think I had 128 MB of RAM in it too.

I just remember having about 8 people crowded in my dorm room the first time I ran GLQuake on this thing. A god 4 or 5 of them had to run back to their room for a clean pair of shorts.

i think i still have my VIC 20

I still use my computer from 98. g3 450 MHz with dual ultra 2 lvd drives, dual ati cards, and 768 mb ram. It was over 3k for the tower alone, but well worth it IMO. It’s been running pretty much non stop for 7 years, crashes about once a year when I install some crap shareware, and I’ve never repaired it.

remember laserdiscs?

what happened to that “wave of the future” anyhow?

i used my dell pentium pro until recently :slight_smile: it still works like a champ. they don’t make them like they used to :shoot:

I remember Roger Ebert singing the praises of laser disc. It was like a chrome record. I think the size was the cause of its downfall. Who developed that technology anyway?

Atari 600XL + Acoustic Modem = :pimp:

First computer here was an 10MHz 8088, with 40MB Hard-disk, VGA, 3 1/2 floppy and with a CD-ROM!!!1111. CPU was the suck, but the rest was pimp. Nothing like loading a Hi-Color (256) image at 320x240, and watching it draw line by line.

omg…

L O L!!!

440 BX HAHAHAHAHAHA

“new”

wow, btw ,the 440BX was the best mobo chipset ever.

omg, i just found my OOOOOG Sony SCSI external CD ROM (1x)

It has a caddy and everthing.

LOL
