    Hope you all enjoy the unboxing. This is definitely more of a raw video, I'm still pretty bad at unscripted stuff so excuse the repetitive commentary haha. Let me know what you guys are most interested in seeing next.

    I get you, I'm the same, I just go with the flow and then cringe when I play it back lol

    Aaaw 🤩 Cool that you did an unboxing. I did not expect that. I'm glad you like the stuff. I'm already working on more supplies for you, but that will probably take a while...😅 anyway, thank you very much for accepting my donation. I'm always happy to help if I can.🤗

    I had that Asrock Dual mobo back in the day... it really helped transition my old system with AGP and DDR to the newer PCIE/DDR2 standard

    Seems like the typical use case for them, they ended up becoming awesome retro boards!

    Oohh, very nice. I just got a pair myself of the same line of corsair ram, only mine are 2x1gb pc3500 cl 2-3-2-6. They are so damn cool, went into my main 939 winxp gamer with a glass sidepanel. What a score you got there, the x800/850 cards are indeed getting hard to find without going broke. I have a x800xl 512mb as my only 800 series card. Can't wait for the reviews!

    Sounds like a super sweet build, I need to do something like that with them! These are two 512MB sticks so maybe something on the older side... And yeah for the longest time X850/X850 cards were completely unobtainium for me due to the inflated prices, so glad they're finally crossed off the list.

    I don't know if the board would support it, but could be worth looking for the core 2 duo e7600 for a 3.0 ghz cpu with 1066 mhz fsb, as the core 2 quad q6600 works it probably has a modded bios that added in a bunch of extra cpu microcode. If you happen to have any E7xxx series core 2 duo around test that one first in the board too see if you have the cpu microcode for them before buying one in that case. It should be basically on par with the core 2 duo e8400 so plenty of cpu performance for testing agp cards instead of a bit worse single core performance of the core 2 quad q6600 at 2.4 ghz. Also not sure if the board would do ok with the bsel pad mod too 1333 fsb on the core 2 quad q6600, but that might also work & then disabling 2 cpu cores in windows too spare the motherboard a bit while getting faster single core performance.

    Good idea, I do have an E7500 so I could try it out in there to see if it'll work! Alternatively I also have an E6700 if I want to squeeze out a little bit more single core performance, I don't think I'll see much benefit with 4 cores in older games.

    @@SPNG By the time you do the gpu's will probably hold the system back anyway for those benchmarks, we're talking like Far cry 2, Crysis 64 bit & the orange box version of half-life 2 here around the end of the Direct X 9 era for benchmarking on a quad core. Speaking of which I'd say 3dmark2001se, 03, 05, blastfromthepast's Opposing Force Benchmark & maybe Doom 3 or Quake 4.

    Maybe you can change the cooler from the x850 AGP to the PCI x850XT PE, I think they are the same! ;)

    It should work! I just don't want to spend the time swapping coolers every time I test one or the other 😕

    but but.... the x850 AGP is a much cooler card...
