300 W PSU
1 sound card
8.61GB 5400 RPM HDD
LAN built into the mobo
32x MAX cd-rom
unknown video card
1 floppy drive
LOTS OF RAM(cant remember an exact number yet)


PC:
unkown video card
56k Modem
200W PSU
1281.9GB HDD
cd-rom
PI (unknown speed)
1 sound card


Thay are both at a friends house but i'll get some pics tomorrow

Yeah, Dumpster diving is fun. I found a Dell PII 800, 256MB, 20gigs but sold it for quick cash about a year ago.

ive never found anything but a crappy painting and some desks. and lawnmowers. and one computer (it was a 486, so i wouldnt call it a computer). and a refridgerator. ooh and speakers, and a bike, and...

well you get the idea. theres no point in dumpster diving.

I'm jealous that you're actually able to find decent stuff. The only time I've found decent stuff is during throwout week here in Fargo.

throw out weeks are great, mostly becaus ei have 4 or 5 colleges within close range.

What I have found:

Brother Dot Matrix printer circa 1991
HP DeskJet 920c
Keyboards & Monitors
200 Yards of telephone line
2 buisness phones
A fax machine
Zip Drive
Foot pedal for a dictaphone
FireWire. Lots of it.
Largan Chameleon digital camera/webcam
Sony Clear Voice Plus recorder
Generic computer microphone
Platinum UBL speakers
My chair
A microwave
Tons of pretty paintings.
Plus many books & posters.

so erm, I found a P3 1000 Mhz the other day in a small plastic little box, I know its a socket 370 but I don't really know much about the P3 era. I kinda skimmed from a PII to a P4. Anyways, I need to know how to tell the difference between the coppermine and the tualatin and I need to find a compatible motherboard.

Lol, Nice find. Im having to buy mine. Oh well. Tigerdirect sells 2 370 sockets that support 1gb mem. Otherwise get a 810 off of ebay it supports 256max.

So long as the mobo runs 133Mhz FSB with a BX chipset it should run it fine. I could be a lot more specific if the pictures weren't so blurry. Can you give me the text that appears on the sticker there?

sorry, my camera kinda sucks...

Ok, it has 3 stickers

the big white one has a UPC code on it

one says:

Intel '01 Malay (date and locatin made?) and says 1000/256/133/1.75 which is the speed, I think the cache, the bus, and the power consumed

and another says

0510A444-0459 Pentium III SL52R

and I just realized it was a coppermine...

and I just realized it was a coppermine...

Yeah, that 133Mhz FSB and 1.75v is a pretty sure sign.
