Title: Anyone want 486 chip + memory?
Post by: menace on October 01, 2003, 08:27:09 am
Its a 486 dx-33 chip ...waits for laughter to stop...with I think 8 Mb of EDO mem on the side.  If you want it i will throw it into an envelope and you can have it (shipping paid by you)

Throw in $20 and you got yourself a deal!  ;D

Seriously though, I have trouble getting rid of Pentium II 233MHz.  :P

He isn't having trouble getting rid of it, he is offering it for free.  It's no trouble to just throw it in the garbage if nobody wants it.

its so sad--when they first came out I would have sold my right hand for one--now i see them on ebay for 1.99 for 50!  and thats just to get the precious metals--if no one has any crazy experiments for them they just go in the bin.

When I got my first 486 I paid an extra $600 for an extra 12 megs of ram (for an astronomical total of 16 megs..:-)

the good ol' days...when Ram was $50 a meg..lol

Sounds like 1992 to me...   I actually paid $120 to go from 4mb to 4mb.  Yep, I got upgraded from 8 512k chips to 4 1mb chips just so I would have room to expand later.

I remember paying $109 for a used 10 MEG MFM hard drive and thinking that I would NEVER use all of that space. I also used to say I wanted a hard drive but I was actually talking about a 3-1/2" drive. I had Apple's before my IBM XT clone. I didn't know any better.

I remember paying $600 for a floppy drive (tired of typing in all those programs form magazines only to loose them trying to record to a crappy, over used, noisy tape). I was fourteen...saved all summer for that thing.

Ahhh, the good old days!  ;D
