might be worth checking if the PCI cards are compatible with newer motherboards...

...older ones wont fit i dont think...

 

[KGB-911]

Thats why i said that some may / may not work with XP

 

[ChristopherP]

you can have windows 98 on a new PC and that wouldn't change the size of the PCI slots on a motherboard...

 

[KGB-911]

OK,

You want something?

 

[ChristopherP]

no - just saying for the benefit of other people.

i have about 7 sticks of EDO ram laying around and a broken motherboard (P4 i think) and some other crap if anyone wants that so i have no use for any old bits - they end up clogging my wardrobe lol...

thanks anyway...

I've got a Voodoo One Grafix card, boxed with CD and that connector cable you needed to connect to your regular PCI grafix card, which would probably, at the time, be a Matrox flavour of some kind if you had any class. It's a freebie folks! You pay postage.

I also have a very nice Heinz baked bean can, no lid but in perfect condition and thoroughly clean. I'm sure some enterprising folks could find a use for this valuable artifact, a slice of Britain's history free to the first person to ask. You pay postage.

 

[KGB-911]

Ill take the been can, How much do you want for potage?

Do you want any of my stuff?

 

[KGB-911]

Chris, what do you want for the P4?

[ChristopherP]

I'd pay £32.50 just to watch Flops try and do that!!

You did see that the P4 board is (aparently) broken... i don't know what the problem with it is and iv'e never tested it either. the school IT teacher gave it to me and told me it was dead...

physically its in perfect condition. It might be missing a jumper (2 at a push) but otherwise tis fine...

i THINK its an i845 chipset...

 

[KGB-911]

Yeah, i wasn't interesed in the whole board, just the P4 chip!

 

[floppybootstomp]

Woo!

[KGB-911]

Well you have got the town: Poole!

 

[ChristopherP]

iv'e been to the city of poole... its a dump...

theres no CPU in the mobo - its just a mobo...

 

[KGB-911]

Chris, Is that a nice thing to say?

I like Poole!

 

[floppybootstomp]

iv'e been to the city of poole... its a dump...

It's OK, sort of on-a-holiday-and-let's-have-a-look-round-this-place kind of way.

Real good swiming pool/water chute theme type thingie there, except for some 12 year old landed on me head and nearly drowned me

Anyway, as in any town, ya gotta know where to look

Which, admittedly, can be somewhat limited when you're sixteen

Now, what else I got for sale here? Bag of assorted EDO RAM, all 32 and 64 I think....

 

[KGB-911]

Are you talking about 'Splashdown'? (Water chutes)

 

[ChristopherP]

along the front is really nice with teh reastraunts, pottery etc but the actual city centre...

have you been to the Dolphin Shopping Centre recently?

my god its awful! as is the high streets

 

[floppybootstomp]

Are you talking about 'Splashdown'? (Water chutes)

Dunno mate, can't remember, but probably. Had a short holiday, a week, in Swanage in '99. I think it was '99, we saw Mr Bean at the cinema next door. And had a Pizza there too as I remember.

It was some kind of modern complex on the outskirts of town.

And now, what else do I have for sale? Ah yes, two oscilloscopes.....
