yeah the one with a celeron 331 has agp and skt 775 – u should see if its core 2 duo compatible – but it might just be a 775 pentium /celeron board
Remove loose rust and spray with phosphoric acid product. It should blacken and neutralize the rust spots. Easy to paint after.
Cool haul, looking forward to the mystery machine reveal and video card reveal.
Pretty cool dual slot system, hope you get everything working.
Enjoy!
Happy fettling!👍👍
You've got a lot of work to do to restore them all… Some of them look really bad, they were probably stored in a damp basement somewhere.
Try to save them all! And that Phenom would have the most potential power of them all seeing as that can be anywhere from a 1 core to 4 core chip. Unless one of those was a core2duo or better that is. Should clean, test, and experiment with them all.
I started with a MJN 486, probably cost more than I've ever spent since, especially as I had to buy a soundcard and CD too, the original SB16 (mine was ASP multiCD) and the CR563
Now that is to be a nice series: How many computer will be saved?
Don't discount the Phillips 4:3 flat panel TV as a useful monitor. Many times they are quite useful for the multiple inputs on the rear, as well as the simple fact they have the correct geometry for older machines. Some of them even support 15khz analog RGB for the older 8/16 bit computers.
The previous owner must have spent a fortune in those dual slot systems. Those must have been very rare. At my workplace I got a dual CPU workstation almost 10 years ago and it was very expensive.
i need a p3 600mhz katmai for my slot 1 machine, that's the max it can take!
do you like cleaning all the grime off?
That EIZA-monitor even does have seperated BNC connectors for RGB, vertical and horizontal signals, nice. Not sure, if that really increases image quality back in the days, but nice to this again. Bit of a shame that the devices suffered so much of water damage. Pressing all my thumbs that you can get the most of it. 👍
