Aldi has not given any further information about the mainboard, other than that it has an AGP 4X and three PCI slots, a 10/100 MBit Ethernet interface, four USB 1.1 interfaces (2x on the back, 2x on the front) and 6-channel onboard sound (Dolby Digital). In addition, three Firewire interfaces (IEEE 1394, 2x on the back, 1x on the front) and an internal 56K V.90 modem (cable included) are offered. The 256 MB DDR-SDRAM module (PC2100/DDR266) on the mainboard comes from Infineon.
I was doing work as a Paperboy at that time, my Grandparents had just given me a couple of extra bucks and my father said to me if you can give me half of the money - I'll say mom that she'll go buy it with you. I had no clue but plugged it all together somehow, it's not like any plug would have fit into two different wholes anyway. And nothing but windows worked at the beginning. I had all those CDs with shareware and Demos and after a couple of days, my desktop was its own battlefield. Most of them were really glitchy and buggy, building a finished product was never a thing for developers' studios I guess.
I just remembered, all my paperboy money came from my grandparents. Because they had to sign the contract with the papers due to my age and me and my sister would then get the work to do and the money in cash. I think nowadays people would not do that, sjw would come to complain about child labor.
That's insane, I remember my P4 was the first thing that I put in my own room. To save money, my parents did move in our house into the basement while still building the other parts. So my sister got her own room on the first floor above the garage and I just took a room in the basement for myself. My mother was very violent toward me at that time and I was pretty happy to be out of sight as much as possible.
Oh! so... you didn't get to play Bushido?
I didn't as well, but maybe I will now!
Haha right on @manniman! :)
Go and enjoy one of the first classic IBM PC games from 40 years ago with full fast action written with barely 70KB of code. LoL
The way they solved those performance shortcomings with ingenuity is so fun to watch.
P4 was the first PC that I bought for myself and just found at home due to my dad, It was a PC from a discounter and I did some tuning to it later.
Check this out golem has the article still online, that is awesome!
