Remember these days??

Believe it or not, I just finished decommissioning my last NT4 Server box...remember ISA slots? This one has PCI too! I paid $4K for all that ram in the day....512mb was a ridiculous amount of ram. This one is circa 1997 and was still running strong!

Makes one want to cry when you have to throw away old hardware that was costly and now isn't worth diddly...........................

the good news is, there's not much progress being made in chips anymore, so stuff does not become as outdated so fast.

i remember doing some work for a print shop that had a massive graphics computer. it had a graphics card packed with ram, like your picture there - i was shocked beyond belief to discover that video card had a whopping 32mb of ram!! (and a very well supplied os that had 4mb of ram!!)

Wow - I'd say you definitely got your monies worth out of that server. What were you using it for?

Over the years things got moved off it, in the end, it was only doing internal DNS. It did that task like a champ, I was sad to see it go, but it this point, the gold in the PPro's is worth more then the box as a whole.
