george Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 The box is a 2 year old Pentium 4 Dual 3GHz. 2MB RAM. Two Philips 19" screens. NVIDIA Gforce card. Vista didn't liked that old crap, so I had to use some profanity and half a box of Chang... Vista is nice! I managed to get a Vista Business OEM for 6,600 Baht.

peter991 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 It seems like every time a new Operating System is released, it needs more memory. Fortunately the price of hardware is falling. Here's a trip down memory lane: The Radio Shack TRS 80 Model II Catalog: 26-4002 Announced: May 1979 Released: October 1979 Price: $3450 (32K RAM) $3899 (64K RAM) CPU: Zilog Z-80A, 4 MHz RAM: 32K, 64K Ports: Two serial ports One parallel port Display: Built-in 12" monochrome monitor 40 X 24 or 80 X 24 text. Storage: One 500K 8-inch built-in floppy drive. External Expansion w/ 3 floppy bays. OS: TRS-DOS, BASIC.

Did a lot of assembly language work with it including modifications of it's eprom BIOS. Highly educational and has made me the mad scientist I am today.

peter991 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Reimar: Thanks for posting that pic. I used to have it - but lost it. I've often wondered about the 'steering wheel' in the pic. Were they thinking about 'Driving Games' back then, or was it for some other purpose? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter As it looks like it was taken off a tugboat, my guess it was for "navigating" the Internet.... even tho' it hadn't been invented yet.

sjaak327 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 This is my desktop. Please note that since Vmware released the 6.0 beta, we can use Vista to run virtual machines. Please also note that I have running Mac OSX 10.4.3 inside a VM. Nice you can have the best of both worlds right on your vista desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
