Pentium2-300: With the money I had from my 166Mhz and a lot more I bought my first Pentium II. The mainboard was an Asus P2B, a Pentium II @ 300 Mhz, it had 64Mb ram a 2.1Gb HD and because I sold my 17” Goldstar monitor I bought a 19” LG (new name of goldstar, price tag for the monitor: 36000 Bfr). All built in a YEONG YANG big tower case. The original graphic card was a my old Miro 20SV for a while. I bought an ATI All in Wonder pro (PCI / 8Mb) in the Makro-EKE for 5000Bfr, I had to choose between an AGP with 4Mb or a PCI wit 8Mb for the same price. I took the PCI version, maybe not very clever at that time but now I am glad I did decide so. It’s the best PCI card I have. Later I bought an Elsa Erazor X (Geforce 256 with 32Mb Ram) at computerwinkeltje – Brugge (price tag: 13000 Bfr) and inserted it. I had lots of problems with it because there were always artefacts visible, I tried and tried but couldn’t find the problem. So I called to the store, there they said I had to contact Elsa. I did and the people at Elsa would send a new card to the store. The store was kind enough not to wait till the new card arrived and gave me another one immediately. Afterwards I read somewhere that this was a well known problem with some Elsa cards and it even was some kind of a test to make cards cheaper but I have doubts about this. I updated to 128 Mb Bought a SoundBlaster Live player together with a Creative Voodoo 2 at Microman (price tag: 6000 + 6000). I bought a REALLY BIG server case at Neva to install my stuff in it for the ridiculous price tag of 1500 Bfr but of course there was a BIG problem with it too. It was NOT ATX conform. So together with Luc de Groote and Hans Hooreweghe we forced it ATX conform with the help of two other friends: Black and Decker. This system is still running and I am mainly using it to surf the web and receive my mails. Today it is running like this: Asus P2B Pentium II @ 300Mhz 196Mb Ram Seagate Medalist Pro 9149 / Model: ST39140A - 9 Gig @ 7200Rpm Western Digital Caviar WD400 / Model: WD400BB-00AUA1 - 40Gig @ 7200 Rpm ATI Radeon All in Wonder 32Mb Iomega Buzz (only used for the SCSI controller) 10/100 Mbit Netgear FA310TX NIC 5x Creative PC-DVD DXR2 player SoundBlaster Live Player Built in my REALLY BIG server case. |
