As part of its 50 year celebration, Intel has dug up its time capsule from its 35 year celebration. Running tests on some of the unearthed CPUs found that those were only around 6% less in IPC. (I made that up.) They did bury another capsule to be dug up in 25 years, and interestingly, it seems no CPUs were buried this time. It was suggested that AMD was already doing that for them. Remember to tip your waitresses, I will be here all week.
 
This is from the early 1990s, so the chopsticks are probably the ones the x86 team gouged into the eyes of the director of RISC research before he was able to announce a breakthrough in single-clock throughput.
 
I worked there back then. Things were already going downhill.
I mean, hell, those are Pentium 4s processors they buried back in 2003.
They should have buried the design years before, before wasting untold tens of millions designing and marketing it.

I guess it's good for us they didn't, though: it was the Pentium 4 that gave AMD a chance to survive.
 
I have a 486dx33 tower still. has Novell Netware 4.0 or might still be 3.12 loaded on it, but hasn't been powered in on over 18 years.. no idea if it works. I don't remember any novell command line commands, but I am pretty sure I know the username/pw

I have my own Intel time capsule at home. It consists of an E8400 Wolfdale, 4gigs of Kingston HyperX ram, and a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L motherboard. I dunno if it will last until 2043 since it's been running nearly 24/7 since June 2008.

My wife's laptop has a mobile P8400. It's been almost 11 years since she got it. All it needs is an SSD but she refuses. Change is pain...
 
Does the laptop even have SATA? I know my Dell M170 is IDE only. Which sucks since there are no IDE SSDs that I know of.
 
I have a lot of that stuff in a cardboard box somewhere around here. Of course, I also have a Zenith '386 that still runs so I can play Wing Commander on the original hardware.

one job i had YEARS ago.. was running huge networked printing machines that were running such PC's. Since i ran the network.. i had installed doom into the netware directories. Made sure the monitors were facing away from the cameras.. and then me and crew would "intensively" be checking the systems out

The only command I remember is BESTART to run Backup Exec
 
I think I might have a Tandy 1000 SL in storage somewhere, 640K ram, with a 20mb hard card. and twin 5 1/4" drives. Probably still have some Microprose games loaded on it... wonder if I can get Red Storm Rising to load....
