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.
