  1. 8100... wow. Does it have Rambus RAM??

    One of my old 8300s is still running at a friend's house.

  2. Yes and found out that memory was very pricy to add on to. ( pricy in its day )

  6. What a day! Volatility had gone back to the 2008 days. Yaaaaaaaaaaa!

    Haven't seen these kinds of rippy moves for a long time. Glad that my boxes and the laptop held up during market raids. If there is a good time to stress-test your equipment... next couple of weeks should be the time! :D

    Dow dropping 600 for a day... that would trigger some resonance moves... I will be partying like Twenty... Oh Oh Eight... :D

  7. Scat ... for the good times :)

    my Dell 8100 pulled apart to replace the hdd and install XP os.
    These cases have the p/s hung from top and get in the way so I have to swing it on a hinge and remove it. Look how clean I have this inside !
    This image was taken with an old cell phone some years ago.
    Pentium !!

  8. Laugh all you want at these specs. It kicked ass in its day :)

    This was the first image I took when I had installed the new IDE hdd and w XP in the dell 8100, installed all the programs and was trying it out.
    Notice freestockcharts.com running

  9. Looks like the 8100 was before the "clam shell" cases... which were of much better design.

  10. I am not sure what a Dell clamshell case is, but this splits down the middle with a push of a button after unlocking the panel.
    Would that be a Dell clamshell case ?
