Guess what caused the most bluescreens in Windows XP? nVidia grafics drivers! That´s why this was changed since Vista ...

I used to drool over this machine so bad back in the day.

In 30 years we are gonna see videos about this with Nvida AI chips. "I bought $400,000 worth of AI chips for $500 on ebay" haha That 200mHz cpu was crazy for 1993. A brand new Pentium at the time was only 60mHz. Most people were lucky to even have a 33mHz i486 with windows 3.1

The phone I’m watching this on is more powerful than that. SGI workstation. Consider that for a minute.

We had these at the university I went too between 1996-1999 (I think they we the original Indigo machines?). We had a room full of them, and the Uni was very restrictive who could use the machines and those that were allowed - had to be supervised! Unfortunately I don't remember doing anything graphics related on them, but I do remember we had to create a C program to simulate semaphores... mine was a car production line, so it had four lanes with each lane taking different times to complete making a car, and only one semaphore or "car" could be active per lane at any given time. As the semaphore simulation would progress, and a new car would move onto the active lane. That's about all I really remember about the SGI I used. That was also the first time I had used a Unix operating system. Great looking O/S too - made more impressive due to the year it was out.

The music is a bop in this vid. Good shi my fren🔥

This should be in classrooms.

the random Astolfo in there

It's been a year daddy I really really miss you mommy says you went to the store to get some milk, anyways im failing all my classes and mommy hits me very frequently and she changed my name to steve poops. anyways daddy i forgive you for abusing me please come back

1.44 MB OS before GTA 6.

And to think that an old phone from 10-15 years ago could wipe the floor with that.

i litterally wasnt born when windows xp released but i love watching these videos, also, Astolfo :3

MUM.... GET OFF THE FKN PHONE!!!

Can it run classicube

We were cheated by Nintendo with all the "SGI" and Jurassic Park graphics hype. You are not getting that on a $200 N64.

I remember these in the mid 90's that were always used by the early CGI film industry companies, Animal Logic comes to mind. They were deadly expensive to purchase. Then what was wild was how quickly they were wiped out and these incredible computers were seen as junk. Some units ended up in museums as a reminder to their amazing ability a long time ago.

astolfo 😭

uh uh uh you didn't say the magic word uh uh uh

I would love to touch one of these.

ASTOLFO DHSUSBAJEYSJEHSUEBEU AAAAAA :333

in 1995, upgrading from 4mb to 8mb of ram was a big deal.

Back in the day I was running high end Macintoshes and my own Appletalk and then Ethernet LAN, and I ran across a girl who was the daughter of some University of Colorado professor... and thanks to his University professorship, he had an Indigo2 at home running a webserver, connected by a long distance wifi link. I was like, holy crrp that's elite and was envious. I was still locked down to dialup. I ended up building some IMPs (486's dedicated to nothing more than moving internet packets) under flipped up outside trashcans, to wireless get internet from one side of the farm to the other where my sister had a cable modem. Eventually it evolved into a DD-WRT system in Client Bridge mode which I have no and that has been running for the last 10 years or more, along with my own solid state webserver running Tinycore linux. My Ryzen 7950x would smoke that Indigo2 now, but I wonder what she now has... or rather, her dad. My system is by no means the top of the line but gets the video rendering I need done. I once saw and Indigo2 and monitor parked on a rolly cart right next to an unmonitored exit at a Smithsonian museum on my way out... I guess at one time it had run a demo... I was sorely tempted to roll out the door with it. I didn't though. One, I had my friend with me, and two, the proprietary SGI ecosystem was probably a bit jaded and old news. I knew there probably had been very few apps developed for it, and none of the high end desktop and image editing ones like I enjoyed on Macintosh from having pirated an entire software store I had wored at. That was the one and only time I saw an SGI machine in person.

I click for da contents and sub for Astolfo fig nearby

I had an indigo 2 on my desk for several years for molecular modeling. Of course it also had a flight simulator... That 3D demo demo brought back memories.

Need to see some programming examples.

This brought back happy memories of my University CS department’s two Indy’s acquisition in 1993, one of which was upgraded to 24 bit graphics a years at a cost of £23,000 The CD drive alone cost £1200. One of the PhD students modelled flame simulation on these systems

fire soundtrack

its so BLUE-TIFUL!!!!

I had a rough day and this video makes me happy. Thanks for putting it out there!

That PC case looks cool I would rock 4090 RTX in some how.

Breh this is like that movie "contact"

this build is insane even for modern computing

Wanted one of those soooo bad (don't tell my Amiga)

Nice astolfo figure

Can it run Flappy Bird?

I remember seeing these back in the days and they were expensive.

I would love a super gaming windows 98 pc

Who was dumb enough to buy this workstation at that price?

PORTLANDIA

lol I was thinking you were going to use the fastest XP PC using late 90's early 2000's hardware.

The sync and pin-out issues are insane. So nice we have standards now.

Got to use these (or something under the same line) in college. I had no idea what they cost.

8:08 Oh my goodness I was obsessed with that scene of jurassic park too...

man has spore in there what a legend!

There was something so brilliant about Windows XP, i miss my childhood on counter-strike 1.6. This was my machine specs from 2004-2009 "Windows XP , Pentium 4 3.0ghz, 1gb ram, gtx 440 fx (i think).. Had the best times ever. The thing i miss the most was the download screen/box with the loading bar in the middle..

About that time I purchased two Pentium-90 towers. Yes, a 90, just plain Pentium-90. Final cost $5000, each. $32k is an awful lot, but people were already dropping 4 digits on money on computers. So to have one do what that thing did, you could argue that the $32k was justified.

this is just right up my alley, i looove old computers and all that fun stuff
