I was going through one thread where appo was telling about Asus Cusl2 mobo for P III. I also happened to use that on my first PIII 900MHz.

Want to share some old timeless pieces of hardware, that made their debut in old times and rocked the world ?? Know for stability and best of the engineering. Totally invaluable pieces of hardware that changed the trend at that time. That gave us something totally new, stable, engineered with engineering not existing before that time.

Asus Cusl2 :oops: for PIII is also my vote. Really rocked in PIII days. :eek:hyeah:

Please share some of your old and gold pieces of comp hardware here.

Looking forward for some senior members to tell their experiences with different and awesome hardware in old times. :clap:

:O GAWD... thats an awesome overclock on a baccha of a proccy.

But pentium series uptill some P IV used to run pretty cool. Even my P III 900 Mhz used to run so cool.

anyone used AMD Durons ?? One of my friend had it and it used to have that overheating problem then. He got some International Warrant Card and some Club Card and stuff with it. Elite !!

TVS Mechanical Keyboards were pretty good and sturdy. I still remember the mild chuck chuck sound which used to come when the keys were hit. One of the most durable keyboards. Whatever treatment you give they never seemed to bother.

Also i think that the earlier LG CD-ROM drives were much better in quality than the crappy ones we get now.
 
I still fondly remember my first PC, I am not sure whether it was a 286 or just an 8086..... and THAT truly changed the face of desktop computing.

:O How much did that cost u in those days ?? My friend had got a Pentium 1 in around 1995 or something for 1 lakh rupees or something. It had 32 MB RAM and came with Win 95.
 
my first was a 386. ..... with no sound, no multimedia ,15" moniter, 8 or 16MB of ram and a 900MB HDD .......

i think that was around ~75k and we have to keep that in AC rooms as instructed by the dealer lol ...... i remember playing prince of persia in that machine and sound used to came from the cabby speaker .....

but i upgraded this thing to a 486 in 2 months with creative CD ROM with remote(yeah it was a big luxury that time) and multimedia speakers .....

i remember listening to music was really problematic those days coz of changing CDs everytime ...... one day my fren told me about MP3(at that time i was having a P3 550 Slot type processor) ..... AFAIR it was 1998 or 1999 and i wasw surprized to see more than 100 songs on single disc ...... :D
