Looks like (on paper) an R9 255 that's been overclocked and has some more vRAM,

SimCity soundtrack spotted.

Care to try again with an SSD (native or adapter)?

Have one on laptop with Linux, works well.

If I remember correctly, CompUsa once sold these new for something close to $100USD after rebate. It was not advertised at that price. I think somebody realized that a large rebate was applicable for this model and so bargain hunters bought them up.

I used a Matrox Millennium back in the late 90's. Super stable card!

Use it as a nice-looking extra monitor for a windows laptop. Best possible use for it.

Tempted to get this just to, like, play TF2 or something. Can you still get those earbuds everyone was crazy over years back?

"Fallout 4 is another game that people are asking to have tested again for the life of me I can't figure out why and after all of these years" It's become popular again because of the Fallout tv show

I've got one of these! It's actually most similar to the AMD FirePro W600, and will actually run the AMD FirePro driver package and identifies itself to the system as a W600 instead of a C680 if you do so.

3:00 Clearly missed the opportunity to say "Intel-esting"

This video made me discover this channel. Weird how yt works... Watched it like 10 times, watched the older successful android mods, made me look into ROMs (never knew about them or programing for that matter). I'm looking to buy few old phones just to mod them and try to have some fun on the side... As a long time iPhone user I don't thing i'll switch back to android because of this but it did bring back that spark of imagination and creativity back into a world of phones which I viewed only as pokedex(es) that help us do daily tasks more efficiently. Currently waiting for a s3 and bidding on s7 edge lol Thank you for this video, I would really want you to try with more S series phones and use these Roms in the modern day...

Those benchmarks are wrong, its a saggy gpu put some support to GPU and run the benchmark again

Get the RAM Druaga1 high 2:56

Is that the Grim Fandango soundtrack I hear??

1st rule of thumb: NEVER connect a flash drive to a system with a pre-installed OS! I always wipe the partitions with read-only media, then proceed to install a CLEAN OS. That flash drive could potentially have been infected with virus/malware, that you would then connect to your day to day PC and ruin it. That being said, love these low budget PC reviews!

This is what you call binning

Its an fx5200 for this era. My 9800gtx+ is a better card. Albeit with half the memory.

I am watching this video on my PC with GPU - nvidia GT 220

Faptops arent meant for gaming outside of dosbox 😂

Funny thing is that GTA V should be ran at 30 FPS as with high framerates the physics break.

Matrox drivers were crap....I ended up with Voodoo 3 with (gasp) 12 MEG of VRAM. So i bought 2 and SLI'd them...THAT rocked back in the day...

3:23 He casually boots the pc with a USB connector.

Lol i installed windows 11 on one of them not too long ago. Was a cheap facebook machine and did this failry well to my surprise.

I had a 2013 iMac and used it until 2021. It really was amazing, what Apple made of that hardware. Unfortunately the support for newer updates was dropped and then it ended up becoming a brick, which is a shame.

Re Fallout4: Monsignor Plaza is a bad test for exterior-interior cell behaviour, because the inside is NOT an actual interior cell (you can notice when you are at the top level and can see outside through some holes in the wall).

call me a conspiracy theorist but the fact that we need a decent up to date computer to browse even the simplest text based websites, makes me thing why is there so much unnecessary stuff needed to load - on a single page.

No way i made a sleeper build with this exact case 😱

Matrox is still around. They no longer make GPUs. The make IMM/Idrac/IMIM for the big 4 Dell, HP, IBM/Lenovo, and Supermicro. The produce the firmware and server control modules.

I have one with a perin C2D 2.4 ghz running linux mint from a internal sata SSD and it runs great. Its my kitchen pc i use it a lot. Under linux mint you get any modern browser, security, wifi connections, the sound is good youtube runs minecraft runs. Its easy to put away to the side i find these to be a bargen. You will need to clean the inside of most are just one big dust ball inside.

As an ex-CeX worker, it always amuses me seeing how other shops would handle computers like this. We had a strict no Apple keyboard/mouse = no buy policy with iMacs but the account being left on there is a common mistake in so many poorly run branches. The staff usually couldn't give half a shit and I had my fair share of email communications with other stores trying to clean up their messes such as store accounts! Even at their worst grade it amazes me that they bought this in, hardly worth the buy in for the store. There's an operations manual that all branches have to abide by but you know yourself, the average CeX worker probably doesn't know it exists lol

The 1% lows are truly impressive.

I wouldn’t pay $28 for a brand new Mac! All apple products are over priced e waste for nepo babies and trust fund kids

I didn't think this thing could be worse than my 9500 GT

I got that pc for free with a monitor, i found it on the side of the road

the music selection is awesome

When i considered buying a graphics card to my windows 95 in late 90s - I consider buying the matrox gaming card or soundblaster own made grapics gaming card - I went with Soundlblaster - after a some time the graphics card basicilly went dead and could not be revived. I should have chosen hMatrox and saved like 80$ in 1998s money.

so crazy as it sounds i have this same computer but with the Pentium 4 and it has the original hard drive with the original restore partition, any way of some how converting the partition too an iso file?

15:15 I can bring a Xeon E5-1620 @3.5Ghz to a struggle on The Sims 2 with the things I have built over a 15 year game save I recently acquired a Dell Precision 8510 It has all the sata and legacy boot options to boot my WD RaptorX WIndows 7 drive I modified my graphics rules ini file for a custom 2560x1080 UltraWide resolution capped the frame rate at 100 in Nvidia control panel made it much smother

So it seems you have basically a Retro PC case that only cost 5 L.

No way you got sis mirage, My first laptop use sis mirage graphics and it was bloody awful, constantly crash, and very lag when playing low end games even flash games

Way back when, the Matrox Millenium II paired with two 3DFX Voodoo 2 cards in SLI configuration was THE combination to have in your PC.

I actually have the PCIe 2600 XT and it still works! Fun card to mes with. For yours i would try to reflow the GDDR, as it seems like memory issues. Might bring it back just enough to become stable for a while ;)

I work at a large manufacturer of industrial PCs that owns the market for computers used around the world for fire alarms and building control, we used this card for years until it went EOL.

i used to have a phenom ii x4 955 95w still running in my ex's pc, i build it from a pc that was thrown to trash so i revived it and put a rx550 to game some stuff. great machine

It is now obsolete in at least one way. It will not run the latest build of Windows 11, 24H2, at all, not even with workarounds for officially unsupported processors, because it does not support some newer instructions that are now used in the OS.

Your old FX PC looks a lot better than mine did. I think I still have mine somewhere, too, and for some reason this made me want to dig it out and tinker with it.

Moved to Matrox. Then moved onto Voodoo4 then Voodoo5.

After many hours of struggle, I finally managed to convince myself that it's ok to thumbs up this good video about auch a terrible card. Yes, this card is that bad. I would rather have a late 90's Matrox.
