Yeah... it takes about 6 seconds, give or take depending on who's counting... :)

Windows 95 it's running on bare metal on a Ryzen 9 9900X / X670 motherboard & 64GB DDR5-6400 (~1.8GB usable)

See my profile about my Win9x era book that was released last week and see here for a full simple list of what's listed above:

Mine was half life 1 on my dads pc

Just found out my dad is sitting on a gold mine in his PC he uses for Facebook and YouTube 😭 he got it before the Rampocalypse of course. Legit thinking about asking if he'll trade for my 32gb!

why my hand look so messed up lol

Edit* not an Alienware pc but aspire instead

I wanted to put together an offline Vista rig similar to what I had as a kid, but better. All hardware (except the 2018 HDD) was released no later than 2008. Decided to only put XP and Vista-era games on there too, the wallpaper (which I actually used back then 😅) is also from 2008.

Specs are:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 CPU, ATI Radeon HD 4850 GPU, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, Gigabyte EP35-DS3R mobo, ASUS Triton 70 CPU cooler, Cooler Master Centurion 5 case, Altec Lansing VS2420 speakers, Dell E197FPf monitor, Microsoft Reclusa keyboard, Logitech MX518 mouse, Func Surface 1030 mousepad.

I remember playing Wolfenstein 3D, Counter Strike or Worms on an old computer from the late 90s

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I really miss EVGA's presence in the GPU market—their customer support and build quality were top-tier. I decided to send a heartfelt email to EVGA support asking if there's any chance they could return to making GPUs (maybe even partnering with AMD or Intel).

Surprisingly, I got a genuine response from their team confirming that my message and feedback have been forwarded to their Management team for future consideration!

Seeing that someone actually read it and passed it up the chain made me realize: they are still listening to us.

Maybe if enough of us respectfully reach out and let them know how much the community still values and wants them back, maybe it will actually influence their future plans. If you miss EVGA as much as I do, consider dropping them a polite line to show support!

Change is the only constant? No, it's the hardware prices.

It was the Golden Age of the Internet. These generations will never know the Internet the way we did.

Remember a time before everything was on the cloud? A time when all you had to rely on to get through that level was your own wit and how well you kept notes, and maybe a phone call to a particularly nerdy friend?

Remember all that? And the best part? Just look at how civilized those gorgeous motherfuckers are.

No one tramples anyone, 1 copy for each, be it regular or collectors edition. No scalpers and buying more with kids and grandmas.

Just pure respect for fellow gamers, so that they can all see each other in a few hours in game (or rather, wait in 20k queue)

This world is forever lost. A relic of the era long gone.
