Well, I found an old AMD K5 (aparently not working) here at the office depot (ya know old chairs, tables,... CPUīs) complete with keyboard and Viewsonic monitor. A small talking with the boss and later was up and ready at home. The computer works fine (it didnīt work anymore!!!??? and came with W98SE, trident card, CD, modem and 32 Mb) and Iīm starting to enjoy early and not so early good old computing days. After a small tune up, the comp works like a dream, and in pure DOS is quite fast. I downloaded some games here...and thinking about how funny those days were with no accelerators, or massive ramīs fighting with hungry OSīs. :crazy: Iīm spending most of time in this AMD than in my main 3.00 Gb workstation....just a bit more RAM to get the job done with Windows and I have a good old system for nothing. Have a look around to get an old system. Itīs worthy and youīll enjoy every penny k:
