Helloooo Bitwit

Hi

Hey Kyle if you look at the part of the video where they are stress testing the ram with solitaire and everything you can see that they were so cheap that they used a free copy of windows because there is a watermark on the display

Nvm that's the pc that kyle is using my b

sorry Kyle you aint cheap we luv ya

And that's how cache turns into cash

And for many computers of the time cache was external to the CPU die.

I doubt that since even the entry models of Amiga + Atari ST had 512 kB for years at that point. MS-DOS 3.3 (1987) already had a system requirement of at least 256 kB and many programs were expecting 512 kB

Commador 64 went out of production in 1992. Did the salesman try to sell you old products. The office suite on a C64 with a word prosessor, a spreadsheet and a database program was not the best experience... The printer was horrible slow, but we also had a box so we could use a typewriter as a printer.. The i8088 was better. And that had 640kB of ram. So I do not understand what computer you could get with 128kB...

Before your color computer did your family own a TRS-80 Model 1 like my family? Ah the memories.

To be honest, I don’t remember the exact year or specifications...it was a long time ago. But I do remember it was a Gateway box system. And the RAM was really low. But I remember the salesperson telling my dad we didn’t need the upgrade of ram unless we were running photo editing software. I always thought it 128 kb, but again my memory could be failing me there. Before the gateway though, we had a Commodore 64.

must be real hard to play cod on that

Lmao true

@@99Ctube That's not completely true, a good PC in 93 would easily have been usable until about 98, pretty much the standard life for all computers was about 5 years before they were too obsolete to run the newest software, it's like games now a days, where they have a min spec and recommended spec, as long as you hit at least the min spec requirements, you were fine to use that PC. We had a Win 3.1 system in our house that we used until 1997 when we finally got a new one with Win 95 on it and we had that one until 2001 when we finally upgraded to a Win XP machine...after that, we started building our own PC rather than buying pre-builts, but they all lasted a minimum of 5 years each.

​@@xPRODIGYxGAMER Cheaper, perform better, yes...last longer? In what means? An SSD has a finite life and will very likely fail within 15 years of date of purchase, I still have some old x386 machines that boot up on original hardware from the 90's that have yet to fail. If by last longer you mean, be relevant for longer, ok, but that's actually due to diminishing returns in cpu and gpu advancements more than it is due to quality.

I remember going to computer shows with my father and I can tell you you could have the fastest processor and enough ram for a lot less than that. You had to be pretty decked out with unnecessary stuff and probably through an oem to pay that much for a 486. When pentium chips came out I could see $3500 but a lot of people in the know kept their over clocked 486 boxes because of a bug in the pentium so with the exception of some software with pentium requirements to try to artificially move technology the 486dx4 machines actually had some longevity compared to a lot of previous machines. But today we have the luxury of using 8 yo computers without much difficulty.

@@matilija that SSD myth is dogshit. Stop spreading nonsense.

Yeah, while the World Wide Web did already exist back in 1993 the web protocol stack was much more simple back then. There was no CSS or JS.

The advancement of technology, particularly computer technology, has been amazing to watch over the last 30 years that I've been in the hobby. For example, my first hard drive was 20MB and cost me roughly $700 in 1988 ($1500 in 2020 dollars). Today, that hard drive could store six or maybe seven jpegs from my relatively ancient smartphone before running out of space. To put that another way, a full 1GB of storage in 1988 would cost you approximately $75,000 in 2020 dollars.

@Aaron Speedy yeah thats why no one uses it... I like Linux but sadly it's not superior. There are things you just can't do on Linux yet. Hopefully it changes.

@Aaron Speedy Yes but you can do all the things you said plus more in Windows. That's why it's considered better. Even though I like Linux more it's just not as supported as Windows is. Simple as that.

@Aaron Speedy You can customize windows. You can even remove the start menu if you want and run a different shell. You can install different terminals too and there's also WSL to run a linux temrinal. You can install any third party app store you want. However you really don't use app stores that much on Windows. Windows doesn't cost $120, you can get it much cheaper and you can run it for free now. If you can handle a waterstamp.

The only real reasons to use windows are if you want to play all games, or if you have to use CAD/Adobe. Otherwise Linux really just does a better job.

back in the day, macs were good at gaming too

@@RandallStevenson Macs? No. Some of the early Apples were on par with PCs for while, but anything Apple was left far behind in gaming very early in the home computing market.

@@fcsuper yeah not great but I'd it was ok. The mac game prices were super high atleast in North Europe, but had a somewhat decent selection. Spent quite much time playing Warcraft, LucasArts games and Wolfenstein. Stopped following the mac gaming when the Pentium processor was introduced - I believe the mac gaming downhill was quite steep from there onwards.

Guys, evoking the current contemporary war Mac PC vs normal PC, is utterly ridiculous, as you can't see, appreciate nor give justice to History: in that era, the Amiga was the top notch PC machine for gaming as well as for anything else; also the NeXTstation or NeXTcube from NeXT Computer Inc., running on BSD UNIX along a magnificent object oriented GUI (and fully customizable, as its graphical objects could easily be connected or referenced in program codes via an open IDE interface - via "Display PostScript"), but at a higher price - Steve Job's baby... If comparing with an Intel PC or a Mac PC, then both were way ahead of their time: much more user friendly, and much more "multimedia-capable".

Utterly ridiculous is to give a lecture on some obscure workstation and its object oriented GUI on a thread about mac gaming.

Well, unless you had an Amiga, which had auto-configuring expansion cards already in 1984. The Amiga was so ahead of its time that it was ridiculous. The owners - Commodore - treated the Amiga as the weird stepchild because Commodore was trying to be IBM or something, but IBM used Amigas themselves.

@@gunnar6674 I haven't heard of this... Considering how IBM had all kinds of crazy architectures for various uses, it sounds a bit startling! Now I'm not saying it didn't happen, don't get me wrong, but I'm interested - what did they use those Amigas for and was it something where they had not made hardware that could do the same thing as well? I just haven't heard of this before :)

@@robsku1 IBM did not sell Amigas - they used Amigas internally to run information displays and company education graphics. At that time, Amigas had video graphics which rivalled professional work stations at a tiny fraction of the cost.

@@outtheredude hall effect keyboards from the 60's join the chat

Yeah, and VGA was 640x480 w/16+ colors, SVGA was 800x600 w/256+ colors (I put the + because that was a limit of the card not the tube, most VGA monitors hung around and were used in 16-bit graphics as they got swapped to increasingly more capable graphics cards/systems). Kind of wish this guy had a clue about the hardware he was talking about. Laughing at how graphics intensive the applications were (or lack there of), he's forgetting that most word processing was still done in text mode back then and printed on black and white dot-matrix printers, if not by type writers or for mass production type setting. It might be funny to him but being able to put an image in a document was pretty high speed. An IBM XT was my first computer (8088 w/2x360KB DS/DD 5.25 Floppies, later upgraded with a ST225 20MB HDD). My next computer was a 386SX/16 w/4MB ram and the 20MB HDD carried over from my XT, and then a 486SX/33 with probably 16MB of ram and VGA Graphics w/256 Colors that I loaded Win95 on. I miss the days when they did crazy stuff like build printers into the bottom of laptops and have full diagnostics suites in the motherboard bios. Are all my ports working, or do I have an issue with a drive? Maybe it's time for the obligatory 6mo low level format due to bit erosion. Luckily all that can be checked/done in the BIOS.
