Photos of Some Old Computer Parts

Last month, we cleaned up our storage room and filtered out the things we don't need anymore. I realized I have put a lot of items that I forgot about there. Mostly electronics. We decided to throw or give away some of them. We don't have a lot of spaces in our house after all.

Before parting with these items though, I figured out I can take photos of some of them and post it here on Hive's Stock Images Community. I don't know who might need to use these photos, considering how old all of these are, but internet is full of surprises. Isn't it?

This post will be about an old Graphic Card and a broken Motherboard, both of which are at least 15 years old.



The Motherboard

This is an old motherboard for an old PC. The CPU should be there, but I don't know how many components are missing for it to be able to work again.

I don't remember which computer this motherboard belonged to, but it's either my mother's computer she got around the year 2008 or my first computer my father bought in 2001. Either way, it's too old to be viable in modern age, so I didn't bother to check the CPU inside.

If you want me to check for you, please tell me in the comments. I'll be glad to oblige if I still had access to it.

To take the best photo I can, I put a bunch of printing papers below this motherboard, but while I tried to get the best lighting, taking photos isn't my specialty so I know the quality isn't the best it can be.

I took photos from multiple angles, if it helps in any way...

Modem-Sound Card?

I'm not sure which part of the mother board is this, but it has both Audio Jack and dial-up modem jack. I didn't know its name so I looked it up, and it seems it's called "Modem Sound Card."

If you know anything about these cards let me know, for now here are the photos I took:

General Info

  • Photos are taken using Samsung Galaxy A51's Android Mobile Phone's Camera.

Terms of Use

These are Free-to-Use photos. No Attribution Needed. You're Free to Use these images anywhere online. Don't claim they're your own and I'll appreciate a link to here if possible.

Since these devices are the intellectual properties of their owners, be careful if you use these photos for commercial purposes. These photos have Brand Logos on them, but they're tiny so I don't know if they fall under the "Recognizable Properties" rule on the Stock Images Community. If photos like these are against the rules, please let me know.



What do you think?

These were my old motherboard and sound card photos I'm dedicating to the Hive Stock Images Community. I'll be happy if they help anyone.

The motherboard looks like it's for a late Pentium 4 system (probably circa 2004). Definitely not from as early as 2001.

Good to know, yeah, we had a Pentium 4 PC before. I think.

What are the chances of this being a Core 2 duo motherboard?

Unfortunately, it looks like just Pentium 4. It has an AGP graphics slot. I believe Core 2 Duo motherboards only had PCI Express. If I read the model number right, this is the motherboard: https://www.asrock.com/mb/VIA/P4VM800/

There are modern distributions of Linux that would still run on it but the biggest limitation is the RAM. It only supports 2GB. You could run Linux but not a modern web browser. At least not reasonably.

It's nice seeing a comment from someone who knows their stuff, I owned this, but it's been too long I forgot what device is it.

Thanks!
