some people really like the "hobby" of taking a computer apart, seeing how it works, and putting new stuff in, which i can respect

computers work essentially the same as they did 50 years ago, they just have a lot more redundant parts that are way smaller. when you break it down, the way computers work are extremely simple

If you're having problems you're either holding the phone wrong or you have tiny girl hands.

what was the absolute last, most powerful AT form factor motherboard ever produced because I can't find anything after early Slot 1/S370

they make i7 boards that still have isa slots for zany industrial reasons, so why can't i slam an iwhatever into my ibm at 5170 without destroying my hand with the metal nibble tool
