  • an original AMD Athlon aluminum case badge from 1999

    World class! :hre:
    If you ever run out of stickers, I still have about 60-70 left over from when I was self-employed in 199x!

    They're also from Athlon XP and Duron. Don't hesitate to ask. :) :spitze:

    Hey thanks I did some research the very first AMD K7 Athlons used AMD Athlon decals, these4 were from early 1999 and came out with the very first K7 Athlon CPU's, they look like this:


    These are 3D etched in that sense and are very difficult to find.
    The newer ones that came with Thunderbird Slot A and socket A CPU's are the decails I am have now, they have a white backdrop and a chromatic boarder, but as you can see the first generation AMD Athlon Aluminum Decals. they don't have the white backdrop at all.
    They have a completely chromatic backdrop instead, thereby bringing the AMD Athlon logo more forward, as the photo I added clearly shows.

    Here the four AMD Athlon stickers I have backhand, these are the newer releases from late 1999 - early 2000

    Quite different that the first gen decals, but if you have 1 or even2 of them first gen decals , please do send me a direct message of them, I would certainly be very willing to add/buy a few of those, if it's the same ones as I have, then don't worry about it.

  • Ajo, übrigens, wenn es um Aufkleber geht, da habe ich immer von einem Polnischen und einem Japanischen Menschen auf Etsy gekauft (wo man unabhängige Künstler unterstützt, was ich nice finde). Der Pole ist scheint's verschwunden, aber [hier ist der Japaner]. Der Grund aus dem ich den bewerbe ist der, daß der auch bereit ist eine Tastenkappe oder Aufkleber für dich zusammen mit dir zu designen! Also kannst dein Photoshop, PhotoPaint, deinen Gimp oder was auch immer starten und gemeinsam mit ihm dran arbeiten. Ziemlich lässig, finde ich. Dies ist ein Ergebnis meiner Zusammenarbeit mit ihm (FreeBSD statt Windows Tasten für mein Model F):

    Das Logo und seine Skalierung und Platzierung habe ich gemacht, die Schrift und die tatsächliche Herstellung er.

    Ich mein nur, falls man mal WIRKLICH einen Aufkleber oder eine Tastenkappe will, die man sonst nirgends mehr finden kann. :)

    Und wie ich anderorts angemerkt habe, hat die EU eine Freihandelszone mit Japan umgesetzt, ich mein' nur. ;)

    Oh by the way, when it comes to stickers I used to buy from a Polish and a Japanese guy on Etsy (where you'd buy from independent artists, which I think is nice). The Polish dude seems to be gone, so [here's the Japanese one]. He does stickers and keycaps and stuff. The reason I am advertising this: If you request it, he will co-design a sticker or keycap with you! So fire up your Photoshop, PhotoPaint, Gimp or whatever and you can work together with him. Pretty cool in my book. This is a result of such a collaboration (The FreeBSD keys instead of Windows ones for my Model F):


    FreeBSD key on Joe's IBM Model F clone keyboard (click to enlarge)

    The logo and its scaling and placement was done by me, the font part and the actual manufacturing by him.

    Just saying, in case you ever REALLY want a badge or a keycap you can't find anywhere anymore. :)

    And like I said elsewhere, the EU has by now established a free-trade zone with Japan, just saing. ;)

  • Sorry, but as "compensation" for my offtopic, 8o I can give you mine, if you can't find a R6 DDR.

    Hey many thanks the card arrived today I'll make the payment on Tuesday March 24th, 2026.
    Many thanks again bud!

    Here some pics I added my 1971 Lufthansa B747-230B the D-ABYD named: "Baden-Württemberg" with the R6 card I bought from you, since you live in Germany and this is the first Radeon I thought to match it with Lufthansa's first B747-200B, sadly I do not have the Lufthansa B747-130, D-ABYA named "Nordrhein-Westfalen", so the D-ABYD will have to do, same classic Sunrise Delivery livery, so hey that counts :topmodel:
    --------------------------------------------
    Hey, vielen Dank, die Karte ist heute angekommen. Ich werde die Zahlung am Dienstag, dem 24. März 2026, vornehmen.
    Nochmals vielen Dank, Kumpel!

    Hier ein paar Bilder: Ich habe meine 1971er Lufthansa B747-230B, die D-ABYD mit dem Namen „Baden-Württemberg“, mit der R6-Karte ergänzt, die ich bei dir gekauft habe, da du in Deutschland lebst und dies die erste Radeon ist. Ich dachte, sie würde gut zu Lufthansa's erster B747-200B passen. Leider habe ich die Lufthansa B747-130, D-ABYA mit dem Namen „Nordrhein-Westfalen“, also muss die D-ABYD reichen, gleiche klassische Sunrise-Delivery-Lackierung, also hey, das zählt :topmodel:






    That card will be used in my AMD K7 Athlon Thunderbird 700Mhz Slot A build, I hope to add a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 PCI SGRAM in May, so the 3dfx
    function also remains with it.
    ------------------------------------------------
    Diese Karte wird in meinem AMD K7 Athlon Thunderbird 700 MHz Slot-A-System zum Einsatz kommen. Ich hoffe, im Mai eine 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 PCI SGRAM hinzuzufügen, damit die 3dfx-Funktionalität erhalten bleibt.

    ------------
    Update:
    Here the card in the system with an Intel Pro 100S Desktop Adapter for the network card, it seems the 3-Com 3C 905 TX-M didn't like the ATi main graphics card in combination with the AMD 751 Irongate NB & AMD 756 Viper SB, the Intel Pro 100S Desktop adapter gave no issues, which was interesting to find out.
    ----------------------
    Update:

    Hier ist die Karte im System mit einem Intel Pro 100S Desktop Adapter als Netzwerkkarte. Anscheinend verträgt sich die 3-Com 3C 905 TX-M nicht gut mit der ATi-Hauptgrafikkarte in Kombination mit dem AMD 751 Irongate NB und dem AMD 756 Viper SB; der Intel Pro 100S Desktop Adapter verursachte hingegen keine Probleme, was eine interessante Erkenntnis war.
