A nostalgic "how it was made"🤓

[@simonlathwell]

About 90 minutes to build a complete computer using late 1990's computer from scratch. I used to be able to build a complete system with additional PCI cards, and additional drives like an extra optical drive and ZIP drive in less than 45 minutes, sometimes a lot quicker if using less hardware without any mistakes. The longest part for me was installing the current version of Windows and all of the drivers which normally took me about an hour.

[@shannonrhoads7099]

Yeah, but the guy putting this computer together was paid by the hour... 😂

[@notmuch_23]

I think How It's made should go back and update their technology segments, and perhaps point out the differences between how it was previously made. Like now I'm pretty sure that not all of the memory modules on the wafer fail _completely,_ and the ones with partial functionality will likely get used in lower-capacity devices.

Video RAM increases have nothing to do with the smoothness of the video that’s being displayed. That would be the processor on the GPU.

[@henryairconcepts2999]

RAM increases the smoothness as well. I played first Mortal Kombat with 2MB, and later with 4MB, the difference was day and night

[@massmike11]

You are forgetting that for a long time there were no GPU’s and the main cpu and system ram did the graphics work, more ram would often improve your graphics.
