80486 DX2 Computer Startup

[ComputerPowerBoy]

4 MB of ram slow for win 95

[callmepistol]

Try upgrading the ram, there are pretty cheap now

[gjunior96]

what is the hard drive model???

[ookachaka10]

yeah, I have an IBM thinkpad 760DV that runs DOS from the floppy. The battery is worn out to shit , the hard drive somehow can't be formatted by fdisk, can't load COMMAND into the CPU RAM and works like a charm!

[kingofmexico5268]

i miss those days

[leerees]

lol I remember when 4mb was a lot, in my day you were rich if you had a 486 dx, most of us had 386 dx's or 486sx 25mhz. I remember upgrading to 2mb and then 4mb. It was like this for years then all of a sudden everything just went crazy and people had 256mb, then 512, then 1gb! I think it was the pentium that really started things off.

[halo22222q]

I could smell the heat coming from that thing "Dusty heat" or was that my power supply

[MrComputerfan]

I think in this PC is a Fujitsu and a Western Digital Hard Drive.

[MixerVM]

Does he still function?

[XtreamBFSquad]

lol 512 kb graphic lol

[kc2jga]

Oh the days of the 486 66MHZ, 16 megs of RAM and 120MB HDD. Wolfenstein 3D flew on that machine. Most of you don't even know what its like to surf at 2400.

[MichaelYoshiFan]

lol 4 MB ram

[MrMakesmoke]

he dreams of playing hl2

[cyberman486]

@MrMakesmoke It's still quiet unreal to play him even HL1 but he might get a try)

[Core2QX]

old hdds heard like geigercounter

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

i don´t know why, but i like loud computers... i love the loud noises of my wd black drives, and of all those fans in my pc

[cyberman486]

@Messerschmitt262a2a I'm too, I have 9 fans in my computer :)

[robinjo26]

@cyberman486 i have 10 ;) im the beast LOL :D

[MrComputerfan]

@cyberman486 I love Loud old Hdds in old Computers,and loud Fans and those Beep noises!

[MrComputerfan]

I like those old WD CAVIARs. These are my favourite Drives!

[MixerVM]

It's 2011 now, is he still working?

[cyberman486]

@MixerVM Yes, I will make new video, as soon as I will be back to Latvia :) With some new hardware and software of course)

[MixerVM]

@cyberman486 When will you be back to Latvia?

[cyberman486]

@MixerVM in April

[MixerVM]

@cyberman486 It is April (at least in the US)

[exoticg9]

put crysis on that :P

[MixerVM]

click click rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrmmmmmmm grind grind bleep!

[cyberman486]

@ccrogers15 Yes! But I am not at home now, maybe when I will back I will do one more test launch)

[007agent0007]

try upgrading the ram to atleast 32 mb (64 or higher will be better) and install Windows 2000.... it will probably install/boot :-)

[TomimaVideos]

yeah...I remember that.....I have still computer with windows 98 :D,but i´m using windows xp and 7

[m9078jk3]

If you increase the RAM to 24 to 32 megabytes that 486 will really work well.

[6364gg2]

That beep sounded like the apple 2 bootup sound XD

[michaelboett173]

0:55 u say it has 2x 4mb, but later at 1:48 Windows shows only 4MB at all. .... So, repair it :) And P.S. 2,88MB is just 3,5" ED Disk ;)

[MichaelYoshiFan]

your ram is low 4 MB

[vinitmundada22]

Crysis

[CssniperAus]

@vinitmundada22 It wouldn't even run the installer for Crysis

[thechar911]

CLICKY

[MixerVM]

It sounds like a vacum cleaner xD

[MrChezco1995]

i think when you play Farmville on that pc it will crash like hell.LOL

[Dreambro1]

@MrChezco1995 DONT PLAY GAMES ON COMPUTERS!! IT WILL RUIN THEM!

[malcommerriweather]

@Dreambro1 Who says?

[MixerVM]

@malcommerriweather Mac users says

[malcommerriweather]

@MixerVM Mac users have no say over what a PC can do lol

[scaleop4]

@Dreambro1 were the hell did you get that info from...and yes i know this is a late reply.

[Dreambro1]

@scaleop4 Computers were meant for business back in the day, but i remember that playing games on them were a novelty then. it was just for chuckles sake, or demonstration sake.

[scaleop4]

@Dreambro1 ok then.

[Starflyer1609]

it can run vista perfectly, i think ;) xD

[cyberman486]

@Starflyer1609 unfortunately, It cant run even XP due to architecture purposes (It even haven't cache memory, lol)

[Eep386]

@cyberman486 I got some 32k x 8 cache chips, PM me if you want any.

[derpenstein]

Man do I ever not miss the sound of hard disks grinding forever.

[user12119]

But can it run crisis? That is the real question. nah I'm only kidding this pc is a fine example of "they don't build them like they used to".

[AntonStraista20]

Western Digital is HDD?

[cyberman486]

Yes, it is WD Caviar

[Eep386]

@cyberman486

I thought I also heard a Maxtor in there... dual hard drives FTW.

[cyberman486]

@Eep386 WD Caviar 1210 and Fujitsu Limited

[Eep386]

@cyberman486 Fujitsu! Those were the best hard 486-Early Pentium hard drives you could buy. Always ran forever. The best I could afford in the 486-Early Pentium days was a Quantum 3GB and an old 420mb Conner :P

[Jerkwad152]

@Eep386

Yep. I've got an old 540MB Conner that started out on a 386, and it's still going in my 486 today. :D

[MrMpajer]

@cyberman486 , no HDD is Fujitsu MPA, I had it, know it by its sound - 00:13

[xMandalorex]

should isntall a server OS? and use it as a web server private FTP server

oldest computer i got is my 1998/9 Pentium 2 which is on 24/7 as a FTP server !

[SwiftRoman]

2.88??? you mean 1.2 mb

2.88 is 3.5" and that 5.25" is a 1.2 Mb disk.

[cyberman486]

yes, it's my fault..

[XxD3MONULxX]

can you run crysis on it ?

[joke]

[cyberman486]

hah, only checked Quake on Ultra High settings with 16x anisotrophic and 8AA :)

[XxD3MONULxX]

and how much FPS you got ?

[sirhendro]

harrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm bloob bliep peeeeep!!

[majesticlizard]

256 colors! The bomb, right?

[clone4crwproductions]

I just LOVE the sounds of old computers.

[cyberman486]

ah, this great sound while he is checking RAM :)

not like the new one, 2048MB and all..

[clone4crwproductions]

Yes, and the old hard disk spinup and floppy noise. They actually sounded like machines. I miss is so much today.

[nickitas87]

@clone4crwproductions mfm hdd))))))))))

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

i think 2 hard drives, wd caviar and fujitsu

[cyberman486]

:D you guess!! Exactly WD Caviar 1210Fujitsu Limited! How did you guess? By ear ?

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

its not difficult for someone who has similar drives with exactly the same sounds like me xD

[tehbbqbox0r]

Heh, I still have a 486BL-75 tower and an SX-25 desktop, both running as DOS gaming rigs. They're quite awesome machines, perfect examples of the saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to."

[MichaelYoshiFan]

you have a good pc :D

works fine

[c64gyro]

Nice vid.  I still own my 486SX/25 I bought in '92 for around $1395.

[cyberman486]

I hope, I will be able to sell it after years in 10 times more expensive)

[applesauceprod]

back in the old day

i bet that computer was pretty costly

[OLTCITKA]

Half-Life 2 fan? :P Me too! :D great video,and the fact that amazed me is that 220 W power supply. It is in fact a good supply,today you can still buy supplies of 250 W,the regular being around 400. Si that was a prestty damn good supply back then. 5/5!

[cyberman486]

yup, love Half Life very much))

It's just a little upgrade for this old pc)

[whrm3]

its so slow, it seemed so fast in 1994 :(

[ashthepokemonmaster]

i question, what prosessor can handle a 3.5 5.25 floppy disk drive and a cd-rom drive?

i think it is a pentium 1 or a pentium 1 mmx

[cyberman486]

where do you see Cd-Rom there ? And what can hadle PC is depends only on Motherboard.

[cyberman486]

on this motherboard it's depend only expansion cards)

[ashthepokemonmaster]

well the motherboard can suport the floppy disks and cd rom and the prosessor is a pentium 1 166mhz its a realy old custom pc =)

[kargaroc386]

an i7 can support a 5.25 inch drive

[superbran2008]

i have got 1 exactly the same and myne runs xp profesional verry verry slow but i find it a grate challange to doo something with thees old pcs like put 80 gb hard drives and 500 mb of ram up there ass if thats posible but not in some kases lol

[cyberman486]

Of course, not In all cases :) This PC can't handle 80gb hdd or 512mb RAM because he is too old. But really, this PC isn't really very old. 8086 or 8080 - that is really old.

[Bricklin1990]

I remember my old Ultra brand 486 processor computer with Windows 95 and a total of 12mb of ram. Should've never tossed it. I do still have a compaq with a pentium pro. 88mb of ram.

[Neoplan6o]

Great little system you got there, I've always wanted one of those :D

[cyberman486]

I've found this under the couch in the apartment of a friend. He was very surprised when I ask if I can take it) Search for it somewhere too))

[jmans25]

i have this same computer, but i somehow got it to run xp very slowly!!!

[cyberman486]

80486 can't run WinXP.

It is proved. Maybe, you have Pentium?

[ACCESS2B]

This was my first computer I ever had. We gave it to a smll store accross the street from where I live (about 10 years ago). The store owner took it too the dump yard when the closed a few weeks ago. It was still fully working right up until a few months before they closed.

[cyberman486]

yeah. 486's were really revolutionary PC's. Unfortunately, my first PC was Celeron900 with XP. That's why I'm so interested with old PC's.

[unreal111]

220 watts psu, wow thats huge for 1994, thats like getting a 2000 watts psu today

[cyberman486]

yup, because it was upgraded by my. This PSU was feeding P2.)

[Eep386]

I hear that old Western Digital Caviar chatterin' in there. :D

[CoolConejo]

Sir, I am prepared to write you a check for this fined tuned peace of Machinary, I feel as tho it will aide me and my attempt's To the be the Successor over Technology. Thank you for your time. Lads. I must be going now, I don't know where But i have a vision, A vision yes. Goodbye

[ashthepokemonmaster]

wow 0.0 8mb of RAM my pc got 255mb RAM

[cyberman486]

it is not a pc, it is a history)

[SASCOMER]

this thing has 0.08 ram and i've got 4gb 800 mhz!!

[ashthepokemonmaster]

no 0.0 is a smily lol

lucky lol

[ILikeKiks]

[ashthepokemonmaster]

shut up lolol

im upgrading my laptop to 2 gigs of RAM

[rhodri24]

FAKE

[fordmoparguy]

wat do you mean

[Lunarvx22]

What about this could possibly be fake?

[cyberman486]

There is only one Fake. You :)

[limeimac97776]

Great Computer. its a classic! I have 2 486s i have an old gateway server tower with the DX2 and i upgraded the ram to 64mb it runs win 95. And i have an ibm ps/2 running both win 3.11 and os/2.

[cyberman486]

I was upgraded this pc too) Now it has 48MB of ram and some new coolers))

[asassinoooo]

Great piece!

[cyberman486]

HL is best game ever :)

[kiltsonfire164]

The Boot screen says 1994

[turkishvan11]

the lower drive is a 5 1/4" drive, which type had 1.2 megabytes, not 2.88, unless you're able to run it at a higher density. If you can, then how can you?

[Telstar85]

For Your Information, The lower floppy disk drive is NOT a 2.88MB as you claim at 1:11. That is a 360K or 1.20MB, 5,25" floppy disk drive. The 2.88MB floppies are physically equal to 1.44MB disks that are 3.5"!

[CmteChiarello]

I have a Toshiba laptop... His processor is also an 80486. It has a 502 MB HDD and 32 MB of RAM....

Mine's running Windows 95 (the first version). Yours came with Internet Explorer. Mine's worse... ^^

[themaritimeman]

Thats cool, I love old computers! If I had that computer, I would wipe Windows 95 and put Windows NT 3.5x on it.

Is the 2500 MB hard disk split up into 2 or more partitions? Windows 95 can only handle hard disks/partitions smaller than 2000 MB. Or is this Windows 95 OSR2?

[cyberman486]

no, there is no partitions, only two HDD, and he use all ~2540 MB. And I dont know really, what version of win95 is there)

[themaritimeman]

There is the original Windows 95 (Version 4.00.950) which supports only FAT16 (HD's less than 2000 MB), and doesn't include internet explorer.

There is Windows 95 OSR 1 (Version 4.00.950A) which is basically the original Win 95 with Internet Explorer 2.

There is Windows 95 OSR 2 (Version 4.00.950B) which supports FAT32 and ATA disk drives, and comes With Internet Explorer 3.

(Continued...)

[themaritimeman]

(Continued from message below)

Windows 95 OSR 2.1 (Version 4.00.950B or 4.03.121x) which is basically OSR 2 except it adds support for USB.

And finally, Windows 95 OSR 2.5 (Version 4.00.950C) which is basically Windows 95 OSR 2.1 except it includes IE 4 instead of IE 3.

To see what version of Windows 95 you have, right click My Computer, click properties, and the version number should be near the top. I can see it in the video, but it's too blury to read.

[bieda2]

i want that pc!!! =[ i used 2 av a compaq presario 7222, only 8mb nd 75mhz xD

[cyberman486]

I think, you can find old PCs in offices. There is much old computer dust.)

[italiaimputita]

wow its lowder than my aprilia rs 50 at 12.000rpm

[cyberman486]

I think, he is not lowder then a IBM server at 100% coolers :D

[whocaresnow2]

what a piece of crap. toss it in the trash

[InspectorTag]

Oh, I still remember my first 486DX2 around 94... and I still have the computer somewhere! Will never sell or throw it away.

[phoxetis]

I think that 5.25" drive would be a 1.2 MB drive (HD) or a 360 kB (DD)
