It was a 486, in early 1995.

486DX4-100
4 MB RAM
1 MB GPU
ESS 1887 soundcard
1 GB HDD

Came with Win 3.11 and DOS 6.22 dual-boot and a bunch of games.
I think demo versions of Doom and Raptor, full Wolfenstein 3D, Legend of Kyrandia 2 (with full Polish translation, voice-overs included... but the voice-over file got damaged at one point ) and a few others I don't really remember right now.

It got broken in 2004... late 2004, in fact... having served nearly 10 years. And it would probably serve for 10 more... if I haven't reversed the power plugs on the motherboard.
You know, the motherboard could support up to 4x64 MB SIMM-format RAM modules... Now, that's 256 megs max... something one would never suspect from such an old thing...

(drifts away in memories)
