For those of us who remember booting up to windows 95, or even DOS, I have a little treat I'm about to show. I have booted up my old Compaq MX400 computer.
This baby still has the August, 1998 stamp on it from when it was first shipped out. It doesn't use the standard ATX, dosn't have a single USB port, and when I tired to install a graphics card, I learned that it doesn't even have an AGP slot, which is amusing, because that graphics card came off of a pentium 2. This baby is one of the first graphical computers to boot off, with 128Megabytes of PC100 (yes thats right, PC100) ram. I have modified it, and stuck in a 128M stick, a 256M stick, and one of the two 64M sticks. It even has a slot for notebook ram, which is convienent because for some reason we have two small sticks of Kingston notebook ram lying around the house. I have this thing booting up, and before I start unplugging and re-plugging the monitor back in, I'm going to research this computer a bit. I'm planning on just messing around with it and benchmarking, seeing if it still has the zip it used to have.
P.S: It has an 8G Quantum Fireball Hard drive.
