Hello from The First One! · 4:49am Mar 21st, 2019

Logged into Fimfiction on a backported version of K-Meleon 74 on Windows 2000, lag abound over the 10mbps ethernet card!

I was actually posting the specs earlier, but for some reason I got logged out and lost that blog, so I'm just gonna leave it at this. Final specs will come later. :twilightsmile:

EDITS FROM MY SURFACE GO:
Yeah, The First One is a cheesy name for a computer, but what else would I have called it?

Specs:

  • AMD K6-233 underclocked to 166MHz by the motherboard (166MHz is the highest the clock and multiplier jumpers can go to.)
  • 384MB EDO RAM (and it is still to this day the most expensive thing I've gotten for the PC.)
  • S3/ViRGE DX video card (This was originally in the system all the way back to when I got it, so it was likely OEM installed.)
  • DVD drive
  • CD drive
  • Floppy drive
  • 40 gig HDD (that I'm likely going to replace and clone, 'cause the fact that the drive soft-locks the system and starts clicking when I try writing beyond the two existing 8 gig partitions worries me)
  • Promise Technology UltraATA 100 IDE card (to access larger drives that the BIOS can't see the space of)
  • USB 2.0 card (and *holy crap* was it annoying to find one that didn't prevent the system from POST-ing.)
  • 10 megabit Realtek 8029(AS) Ethernet card
  • Windows 2000 dual booted with FreeDOS
  • Creative Studios Soundblaster AWE32
  • Logitech Mouseman Serial 3-button ball mouse
  • lag. lots and lots of lag.
