Lovely donations there! Personally I would open package number 1 (after all, the guy spent time to send you something) but afterwards frame it / display it in a box or something similar as a nod to the success of your channel. Keep up the good work!

That Cyrix Math Coprocessor and 486 DX 50 are the rarest of the bunch. Great haul of retro stuff.

Fantastic donations!!! Those short SIPs were used on some PC motherboards (and I think some laptops) - I've seen them on the 3-State MegaMix III (Amiga Zorro 2 RAM card) too.

Congrats on all the donations, that's for sure a testament of how much your channel is loved and the impact you have on people with the lovely content you provide. Ps. Can't wait to see the projects that will follow. Thanks, Peter!

Wow, some very nice donations there, Peter! Santa came early this year! I think High Treason did a comparison video featuring the DX-50 vs. the DX2-66 amongst others, nice to watch! The DX-50 was indeed the fastest CPU available in 1991 as it was released about a year earlier than Intel's clock doubling CPU's like the glorious DX2-66, which they released in 1992. I remember both of them being very expensive back then and really high end. The DX2-66 is quite a bit better at integer and floating point operations, naturally because of its higher internal clock speed. The DX-50 is faster at IO because of the insanely high external clock speed for the time. The latter was mainly used in servers and workstations that required high speed IO (fast RAID controllers and such) and it was combined a lot with EISA mainboards as it didn't work that well with VLB (or at all), because of this high external clock speed. A lot of VLB videocards did not like that and even a 40Mhz (like on the AMD DX-40 or DX2-80) bus speed was quite a challenge. Because of this it's a pretty rare CPU compared to the DX2's which you can still find everywhere in abundance.. The DX-50 was left in the dust by the DX2. A shame really but Intel's own doing, competing with themself once again.. The DX2-66 and VLB @ 33MHz however was a match made in heaven, which is why it became one of the most popular CPUs of all time, especially for gamers. I remember this combination being very expensive in '92/'93 but around '94 just about everybody and their mother could afford one because of the release of the first P5 Pentium based machines in 1993. I remember seeing DooM literally come to life on one of those DX2's back in 1994 after being a slide show on most PC's people could afford back in '93 :-) I had an AMD DX2-80 back in '94 and after quite a while finally found myself a Spea V7 VLB accelerator that would work right with my 40MHz UMC mainboard :-) When I look back at that period (1991-1994) it really was the golden era of computing.. Things just picked up like a whirlwind! We got superscalar CPU's, high clock speeds, clock doubling, VLB, PCI you name it!

I remember buying a Cyrix 82S87 exactly like that for my first PC. My first PC was a throw out from where i worked i had to "buy" the pc to bribe the person who threw it out.The PC was very long in the tooth at the time! I remember that i had to upgrade the graphics card from EGA to VGA to be able to get a monitor that i could buy. And had to buy a new multi i/o and a massive 40mb ide hard drive(the orginal hard drive had broken hence why it was thrown away)The coprocessor was nos and was only a few pounds as 386 was the norm at the time and many people had 486 it made such a difference(The co-pro) and i used it for a few years until having changed jobs and was incharge of IT for my departrment a hard drive broke in a 486 so i was allowed to take it home.

Wow. More CPUs!! Very nice!

The SIP RAM is for an IBM Hummingboard. Adrian's Digital Basement did a video on the card a while back. I'm sure they have other uses, tho.

Wow, nice donations! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic gifts, nice to see you again Peter! :)

Looking forward to the benchmark of the Soyo board. I have a slightly different version (same chipset) that supports up to 1024K of L2 cache, sporting a POD with reapplied thermal paste and a voltage mod, making it run rock stable at 100MHz. Great donation.

Happy 50th birthday to the 4004

More amazing chips to add to an already amazing collection. Great video.

Wonderful video like always 😃

You seem like such a nice and passionate guy. Always great to enjoy your videos 😊

If you have one, I'd like to see a comparison between a double sigma 386 and a 16 bit SW 386 and maybe try to install an incompatible OS like OS/2 and swap in the 16bit SW cpu and see how unstable it is.

regarding the 486 DX50mhz cpu being the "fastest" and then CPU Galaxy commenting that he thought the DX2 66Mhz being faster, Id like to chime in to remember the 486 DX2 80Mhz existing. its much faster than the DX2 66mhz, but also had a faster bus speed, it was less problematic than the DX50mhz's bus speed as the 50mhz caused issues with many Video-Localbus cards

Amazing! Soon you will ne needing more MOBOS to test these ones. I'm kinda interested in the 68000 too

Peter wir lieben Unboxings, bitte mach weiter so

Now we want to see if there is any performance variations on all them 286's. :)

That 33Mhz 386 was my first PC when I was 5 years old. After that I upgraded to a 66Mhz, 120Mhz, 160mhz, 266Mhz, 333Mhz, 450Mhz, 800Mhz, and 1.2Ghz, 1.6Ghz, and I think after that I got my first Core 2 Duo. Back then, I could upgrade every year and double or triple performance. Whenever my Dad, Mom or Sister got a new PC I would take theirs and between the 3 of them there was always something less than 2 years old for me to add to my collection.

I didn’t know there were so many ‘88 and ‘86 manufacturers, nor some came in PLCC packages.

Pretty sure I have that exact PLCC extractor, the packaging looks very familiar. One word of warning when trying to extract large PLCCs, be careful and try to hold it down while squeezing. I tried removing a PLCC84 and the tool came out of one corner and put a huge scratch across the top of my chip. 😔

Wow, any chance you could take & post a macro photo of those thousands of pins up close & full frame? It'd make a super-neat desktop pic

14:51 Great MoBo!

so sincere child pleasure in voice. good to hear dat. congrats and thx for your work. keep on please)

Amazing donations, if i find something interesting locally i will deffinetly send to you.

Gr8 donations! Do you have already any video with comparision of similar VGA cardc with PCI and VLB bus? Now you have great board to make it.

The 486 DX 50MHz came out almost a year before the DX2 66, so it would have been the fastest 485 for a decent while.

Это ТРЭШ... Везёт тебе, такие Подарки!!! А мне в поисках, достаётся только по случаю....

The pro of the MC68000 the DIP package are breadboard friendly for example you can run a linux kernal on breadboard :-)

SOYO 4SA W2 - I've the same mainboard & also with the Penitum 83 on it!

Your are Austiran :-), you know Arnold Schwarzenegger and his dialect in movies like Conan? You are able to do his synchronisations ;-) Greetings from Tyrol.

Wow so cool, as you say Christmas and birthday! So many CPUs and so many possible projects, do you think that 486 DX50 would work with VLB? I believe I only saw these in very high end EISA MB and they vanished from the market as soon as DX2 66 and VLB appeared. Best regards!

MHS (Matra Harris Semiconductors) had their wafer fab in Nantes, France. The site is now owned by Microchip Technology but they no longer make chips there.

Those odd memory chips with the pins are zips, i had these memory chips on my Comodore amiga a4000 zorro 2 card, very unusual to find these in one piece these days, those are awesome donations, ime only just starting out on my cpu collecting journey, ive only been at it a couple of years & ime finding it really hard to get the old cpu's here in the UK unless i pay silly prices for them here. I dread to think of the money ive had to pay out so far here & i still dont have very many chips, ime lacking most of the 386 & more unusual 486 chips, i seem to have massed a lot of gold top ROM's tho & have a few rare ones here including a pair of c27c240's & a load of pic16c63's that i got by luck at junk sale

congratulations on all those nice donations! not jealous at all, not at all. 😉

I think I still have the Cyrix FasMath chip which was in my PS/2 Model L40SX. It was certainly one of the fastest math coprocessors available at the time. A Hitachi mainframe MCM designed for direct water cooling...apparently there were rumours back in 2016 that Hitachi was going to purchase IBM's Z system business...

Excellent.

The none standard SIPP memory was used as a kind of chache memory in the eraly days. What is the nano seconds specs of it ?

You can never have enough 386 CPUs. 👍

You know germans don't joke around when "have fun" is written damit, lol.

I have a vague recollection of watching a likely well known vintage computer youtuber mentioning smaller SIP modules, iirc some TIGA graphics card... I'll hunt it down and report back if I managed to.

I believe "PR" stands for "Performance Rating" not Pentium Rating.... I could be wrong though.. I seem to remember a cyrix tried to call it pentium rating but couldnt due to trademark reasons

Does this mean we can now send packages to "Austria, not Australia"? 😄

Old xt’s used those sipps

Haven't seen a video in a while, I want to see a test between a 386SX and 386DX at 16MHz and 33MHz (with and without cache) as well as how they run Windows 3.11 I have an HDD with Windows 3.11 and when i run it in my 386SX-16 it runs pretty choppy using Windows, don't know if replacing the board with a faster clocked CPU, or a DX would help or if it's just from being a 386, my 486DX-33 runs it much better, the 386 only has 4MB of RAM and won't recognize the additional 4MB I installed.

you got x86, x87, z80, powerPC, and 68000. but sadly no 6502s

Are the smaller sipps not for laptops? Because that standard we have got still in 2021 by DDR Dimm and SO DIMM for notebooks.

Sadly no ceramic 4004 ;)

Without damaging the CPU: Yes. Without damaging the socket: Hahahahahahahaha....no.

Ja!

Ganz lieb

So you can build AMD 286 0,012 GHz 6-core CPU :D

What size jeans do you wear? I want to send you a new pair as yours seem to be worn out at the knees.

I have some things I want to send you, let me know if you are interested!

Опять без титров :(

Hey, no negs, but not a fan of mail bag. Damn if you didn’t even open the very first package! But don’t concern yourself with my opinion. Your other videos do the trick! I’m looking out for strange CPUs for you. Be well and keep posting.

Postnord is not special :)

...keep it closed... WTF! You can't do that. He can't do that! Nobody can do that! This is horsesh... manure!
