ouch... i'm sensing some hostility... how bout this you tard... ferme la bouch tu sac de merd, vous avez baisez et tu bais ton mere!

translation... shut your mouth you shit bag, your a fucker and you fuck your mom!

you even give french a bad name

well, i didn't sense any hostility from this guy... it's like to sense hostility from a kid with a down syndrome(or how do you write this). i sensed some...retardility...i don't know if that's even a word

Not to be rude..but you are giving french a bad name too...

Quotes ad nauseum (or some spelling)!

That might serve if you had MS DOS 3.3 & GWBASIC to load on it to fiddle with. I sometimes regret dumping an older machine, but have moved on in life. It used to run a few ham radio programs & wrote GWBASIC proggies for formulas, etc.

Pass it on to the kid of a neighbor you don't like, it will take up space in their house!

We're just a bunch of bad people here, joking with the poor kid like that... He's maybe sick or something...

It's 4:02 here already and i'm confused. Did i write something the wrong way?

making joke AT someone is not nice, but WITH him.. well, guess it is ok

I was laughing at him lol... stupidity bothers me :x

Dude topic is over!

LMAO. He's (maypep_necro) probably one of Los Alamos's nuclear test subjects. I see them all the time... hiding in the shadows, making a run for it toward the fence in the middle of the night, crawling around in the air ventilation shafts. Sometimes we hear strange screams coming from the mountains in the middle of the night. At first we thought it coyotes, but then coyotes started showing up dead in the hills.

Hmmm...

</mpjesse goes and retrieves his Glock 22 and Beretta 96FS and puts them under the pillow...>

I'd be surprised if he comes back for more of this... burn frenzy. It's like he's a fish head in a shark tank.

I have an old supercharged 486 downstairs. Works wonders as a step ladder. Very heavy so it's extremely stable.

aaah, damn, i miss that thread

Really?

There is a guy here that takes old computers and extracts the gold from the motherboard; he gets about a buck for each one he figured. I found a few 486/66's in our local dumpster. The local charity takes old computers but won't touch anything under a Pentium 1. Course that's California where they grow on trees. I save the fans.

I might have doubted 10-15 comments ago that we've been punked by you here with all that insanely stupid thread(but extremely funny too). I have no doubts now. You're a retard born with the down(would anybody please be so kind to tell me if i'm writing it correct?) syndrome living in a nuclear lab and been test object to some rude "gamma radiation on living beings" experiment. And who the hell was stupid enough to give you access to computer connected to the internet? Those are only speculations though, i don't expect you to tell your sad story here although it would be kind of amusing...

Dont waste your time trying to overclock it. A 66 mhz? That thing belongs in a museum. No one would buy it, this isnt like a classic car or anything. Hell I had an old pentium like that sitting in the guestroom for years until we finally scrapped it.

You figured it out. All new CPU's are nothing but overclocked Pentium 1's with a few bells and whistles added, ask any ol timer whose been around.

If you are speaking of a P5 Pentium (66 MHz) then you should try one of the small Linux live CD distributions such as Slax, Austrumi, Puppy, or Sam. You probably will not have sufficient memory to run them as live CDs,and you may not even have an optical drive at all, but if you could install their code into your hard drive then your would have a real (Unix, not Microsoft) computer.

Because the more spped a CPU get, the more it "vibrates". to make them stable, they either tried a new design like slot CPU or more pins for the CPU.

The slot was good to absorb vibration, but wa costly to manufacture. So, creating newer socket and adding pins to the CPU cost less and basically do the same thing.

That's why today's CPU has more pins than older slower CPU.

QFT

if ur gonna throw it out, send it to me. I like to mess with old stuff... no fear of busting it if you got it free.

Hell I have a 1Ghz machine that I can use for anything.
Heres a problem solver take the cord from you existing machine and try it on that relic you call a computer and think is worth money.

punked!

Where did you get this Dinosaur!! MY GOD! I doubt seriouly if this comp would run anything well, holy cow! 500 mb hardrive, that used to be huge. Now its not even worth the materials it was made from. Sure it could work, and you might find someone to buy it, but would they want to? One, you won't likely get any software thats new to work , and Win95 is so out of date that you can't get support for it, and I think Win98 would take up 9/10 of the hard drive space.

I kept trying to keep my old P133 alive for stuff like that. Especially for Master of Magic. I love that game. Nostalgia is great. Then I found DOSbox. Who needs to keep alive an old PC for nostalgia when you can emulate?
