18:15 It doesn't matter which memory module you put in where
If memory serves me correctly (no pun intended), you populated the slot closest to the processor as that was the first lane that the processor was looking for a memory module, And then it would work its way away from the processor looking for the next available bank to store the data onto. This would also explain why the slot on the left (closest to the processor) had the 64mb module. shrugs I was only a teenager at the time when this type of tech was available, and I was learning on a Packard Bell before I built my first PC only a few short years later.

Sleep was most def a big thing then is the reason for the big sleep button, most times PCs version of sleep was put on a screen saver, so actually putting any device in sleep was a giant new thing where the screen wasn't just actually turned off, sleep existed but people didn't really know the difference Nore was it easy to get to vs a giant button, now sleep barely works on my new desktop I built lmaoooo

love when you show off the old hardware! its amazing to me how little so many people know about this era nowadays! That is a SL2HC pentium 2 which is the Klamath core, not Deschutes, so its TDP is actually 38W not 16 - the lower TDP 266 model came with the die shrink to 250nm

Gordon, now you ruined Christmas for me and my family. I can't sleep tonight if I don't bring out the P2 and K6-2+ out to race them in 3D Mark 99, glQuake, Quake2, Quake3 and Unreal. Hope you're happy now!
Anyway, merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Lovely video. I had a Pentium 2 400Mhz back in 1998 which i later upgraded with the Geforce 256 SDR version. What a beast it was back then. In 2000 i bought the Athlon 800Mhz that had the same type of cartridge. Good times.

Reading the title of the video makes me think my grandmother wrote it. Like, saying Nintendo cartridges without a specific system or saying generic game console cartridges, because ALL game consoles are Nintendos

guys, you of all people should know, the AGPset was the northbridge, the PCIset was the south bridge, literally one north in the upper part of the motherboard, and one south side.

I remember a friend that had a Celeron from like 1998 which was in a slot too.
Passively air-cooled and overclocked!
Played so much games on that thing.

How many times did people reuse that chassis? DELL xps 266 and some weird powerpc clone machine also used it. Only difference being the front panels.

Lol the overclocking. I did that with my AMD Athlon. It had 750mhz or something and I set it to 800 or higher. That was my live's first over clock. :)

Sleep was important because it took 5-10mins for your machine to fully boot, the good news was that sleep probably never worked right.

Showcase that Falcon Northwest on the bench for the next retro PC video. I remember that beast from the Maximum PC gaming issue Oct. 2002.

Nothing beats the old days when a blood sacrifice to the PC casedesigner gods were a must for any upgrade you wanted to make.
