Heh, I still have a 486BL-75 tower and an SX-25 desktop, both running as DOS gaming rigs. They're quite awesome machines, perfect examples of the saying, "They don't make 'em like they used to."
This was my first computer I ever had. We gave it to a smll store accross the street from where I live (about 10 years ago). The store owner took it too the dump yard when the closed a few weeks ago. It was still fully working right up until a few months before they closed.
I remember my old Ultra brand 486 processor computer with Windows 95 and a total of 12mb of ram. Should've never tossed it. I do still have a compaq with a pentium pro. 88mb of ram.
Oh the days of the 486 66MHZ, 16 megs of RAM and 120MB HDD. Wolfenstein 3D flew on that machine. Most of you don't even know what its like to surf at 2400.
lol I remember when 4mb was a lot, in my day you were rich if you had a 486 dx, most of us had 386 dx's or 486sx 25mhz. I remember upgrading to 2mb and then 4mb. It was like this for years then all of a sudden everything just went crazy and people had 256mb, then 512, then 1gb! I think it was the pentium that really started things off.
@elzabbul well, that's called not cheating, but upgrading :P I have connected 80 gb hdd to it, discoverable by bios) can't remember if win95 was able to see it.
Of course, not In all cases :) This PC can't handle 80gb hdd or 512mb RAM because he is too old. But really, this PC isn't really very old. 8086 or 8080 - that is really old.
i have got 1 exactly the same and myne runs xp profesional verry verry slow but i find it a grate challange to doo something with thees old pcs like put 80 gb hard drives and 500 mb of ram up there ass if thats posible but not in some kases lol
