Solution: Buy a old 286 from a antique shop :P - No really, i believe that this is the best option ( if, of course, it can be found ). I would really want to have a old 286 a 386 just for these old games.

I have an old P133 but I gave that to my sister so she could have a computer to write reports on and such. When she gets a better one I want that one back. That can play Privateer II the way it was supposed to. Rather I would have a way of playing it on this computer. It saves on the hassle.

The only computer I ever sold was my first PC a 25mhz 486. I have not regreted that for a second. My P133 could do everything that thing could and could do it better. Right now I'm waiting to buy a new AMD64. Once the 939 pins motherboards and chipsets are on the market and decently priced I will buy it. I'm getting tired of this Athlon 900mhz. It's not even XP. Well this is getting a little of topic now.

My brother also collects the old stuff. I have what I need and I don't keep anything old I don't need. Really what would I want with an old 266mhz PII? Sure I could play some old games on it but that's it. I don't have the room to keep it standing anyway. I just want my P133 back so I can play Privateer II again. That's it. The rest I will either sell or give away.
