I Get My Computer Components From The Future

Postby Steeltemplar » Wed Dec 21, 2005 9:38 am

So my PCI slot fan that I use to cool my video card went out on me. I bought a new one and it just arrived. Here is part of the instructions for installing it:

1. Turn off computer's power.
2. Remove the computer's cover.
3. Put the WS-8SLFS under the Pentium VI or A.G.P. card.

And, under "Features and Benefits":

5. Second cooler for Pentium VI & A.G.P. card.

Whoa! Pentium VI? My PCI slot fan must be from the future times! :lol:

The future's video cards must suck if they're still using AGP.

Clearly, they only need AGP because of the awesome power of the Pentium VI ;)

Athlon256 was never released in a quad-core version - the last Athlon to support quad-core was the Athlon128. Athlon256 debuted in 16 and 32-core versions.

...Of course, I don't know this for a fact, I would have to be a time traveler to know that.

Age of Empires 5 would be like what, World War II or so?

In the future, PCI-Express is outdated, instead there will be AGP-Express

actually, there was a pic in the collectors edition that put AOE 5 as korean war period, and an image of AOE 6 looked halo-esque
