It was very common to have DMI / IRQ conflicts between network and sound cards back in the day. This is why when Windows 95 came out, "Plug and Play" devices were all the rage. Of course, those of us who really lived it know that as "Plug-and-Pray"...

"Recycling centres" don't exist where I'm from, the closest thing are junkyards with washing machines and stoves at best. IF you find a TV it's always broken beyond repair, and never have I seen a computer.

People here charge you absurd amounts even for DDR2 RAM if you can at all find it, too.

This was our first Windows PC in 1999, was an ex office workstation. Had a Pentium 100, 16MB RAM and Win 95, later upgraded to 32MB RAM and Win 98 when it became my own PC in my bedroom circa 2002-2003, as we had again obtained another old ex workstation around 2001 as the family PC (this time an MMX, 64MB and 98SE) This brought back some good memories. The last ex workstation PC was an IBM with a Celeron, 512MB RAM and XP that we got in about 2005 when we finally stopped dealing with second hand underspecced computers, but they did the job. That served us well for about 3 years and then I think we pretty much went with laptops as I had just started working etc.

All versions of Windows 95 liked to assign conflicting resources to sound cards, most often the parallel port. If you'd manually change one's resources it would change the other device to match. So then the only recourse was to manually assign both the sound card and whichever device Windows was insisting on improperly assigning resources to match it. Windows 98SE was when Microsoft finally got Plug N Play working correctly. I encountered many PCs that had problems with Windows 98 original that worked fine with 98SE.

Good to see others saving old hardware. I have several old/vintage PC's, the oldest ones being XT/8088's. My oldest computer though is my Commodore 64, the first (of 3) bought in 1983. But my oldest machine is a Coleco Telstar Ranger game console bought in 1977. I do not really collect computers, I just keep what me & my family have bought over the years & I have become the de facto owner of them after they have become obsoleted, simply because I just hate throwing away machines that still have some use in them, so that includes vintage computers.
