lmao I bough the same motherboard, for the same reason

it also had some goofy cpu slot where u could in theory buy some card with a different newer cpu socket and not have to get a whole new motherboard. lmao @ that bad idea

i had a 9500 pro and at one point i literally had a dream that someone gave me a 9800 pro. later on i bought a used 9800 pro all in wonder because i liked having a composite video input for some reason. i never used it.

back in the day you could buy adaptor boards that let you plug socket 370 processors into slot1 boards - i think they were called "slockets" or something dumb like that.

and in the 486/p1 days there were boards that let you plug four 30-pin simms into a single 72-pin socket because memory used to be really loving expensive so you reused the 4mb from your 386

I'm a little sad that my current account doesn't include my old old orders actually, but that email address is long gone and I have no idea what i was using for a password that long ago.

The oldest thing i've got on my current there is an Athlon XP 1600+ and this 19" monitor in 2003:


i know my first computer related purchase that I made myself was to build an Athlon slot A 600MHz system with a Diamond Viper TNT2. I can't remember what online store I used though. maybe tigerdirect?

how was the slot fast enough for the cpu? would a pci-e 3.0 x16 be fast enough for a current day processor?

cpu to memory is the only real bottleneck, which is why the card has it's own memory slots instead of using the old ones on the motherboard.

everything else is on the other side of the pci/pci-e bridge, which means cpu bus speed doesn't matter
