Radeon 9800 All In Wonder about 15 years ago

Was that one of those that could be re-flashed to a 9800 pro?

Blimey was it that long ago :eek:

Mine was a tub of 25 DVD-R discs. Not very exciting!

aardvark · 25 Feb 2015 at 10:15

i think it was an overclocked celeron, around 2000, maybe even earlier - i think that was here - it was well before i joined the forum.

G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PQ PC2-8000C5 (2x2GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ) back in 2008.

£80 :eek:

I bought two AMD 1700+ thoroughbred B processors at £45 each to replace one that I had blown up overclocking. I never used the second one and do not remenber what happened to it. This must have been 2003 'ish.

I had just moved south from Lancashire and used D*B's when they had a shop counter previously

Scottland · 25 Feb 2015 at 13:11

I don't have any receipts or mails going back that far, but it would have likely been some Socket7/A cooling gear (eg a Silver Orb) c.1999/2000.

Etheco · 25 Feb 2015 at 13:18

Wow some memories, and i am pretty sure this build is still working to this day at my Brothers.

Emlyn_Dewar · 25 Feb 2015 at 13:54

Athlon XP 2500+ (Not mobile, but multi was still unlocked?)
Abit NF7 V2.0
256mb generic memory...

Happier days.

My order history says 2007 but I was building machines in the 90's for Non Linear Video Editing and I'm pretty sure OcUK was one of my preferred sources.

shaank · 25 Feb 2015 at 14:33

My first order early 2007

100 Pack - Verbatim DVD-R 16-Speed 4.7GB (43549) £15.99 1 £15.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500630AS) £54.99 1 £54.99
Corsair Flash Voyager 2GB USB2.0 Flash Drives (CMFUSB2.0-2GB) £13.99 1 £13.99
Razer DeathAdder Blue 1800dpi High Precision Gaming Mouse - Retail £34.99 1 £34.99
Creative Fatal1ty HS-800 Gaming Headset £24.99 1 £24.99

So... that's interesting to me, because I just replaced my mouse last week via OCUK, and I was wondering how old the deathadder I had was. Now I know

C64 and Floppy drive in 1988.

According to OcUK my first purchase was:

OcUK said:
Corsair HX 620W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-620HXUK)
Antec 900 Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black
Intel Core 2 DUO LGA775 E6600 2.40GHz Retail / Asus P5K-E WiFi / 2GB Corsair XMS2-6400C5 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle
Gainward BLISS GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKS)
Asus MW221U 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Silver/Black
Microsoft Windows XP Professional 32-Bit - SP3 - OEM (E85-05683)
Mcafee Internet Security Suite 2007 - OEM (CD Only / No License)
Western Digital Raptor 150GB 10000RPM SATA 16MB Cache - OEM (WD1500ADFD) x2

But I'm sure I bought a Gainward 7800 GS+BLISS AGP before that.
It was a 7800 GTX chip sold as a GS+ on AGP as opposed to the newfangled PCIe which my Athlon64 4000+ and board didn't support at the time..

Minstadave · 25 Feb 2015 at 16:11

AMD 3700+ San Diego for £14.99! Bargain.

Seems like the store only remembers back to 2007.

trickycurve · 25 Feb 2015 at 20:49

An HD4890 I believe.

Freefaller · 25 Feb 2015 at 20:51

Can't remember mine was back in 1999-2000.

schumi84 · 25 Feb 2015 at 21:35

I believe my first order was back in 2001 and was a Thermaltake SK6 CPU cooler for my Thunderbird 1.4GHz CPU.

I paired it with a 40mm Delta fan and the damned thing could be heard from outside my room when I stayed in halls at Uni.
