I know this is smallest version of Windows 95. Because it will fit in a "floppy". Tested and it is working. Make a coffee, it will take a while.

Re: Best Core 2 chipset?

Hope it serves you long and well. My Core 2 system went through two P5Q PROs, and is currently on a low-end Gigabyte G41 board, just to work, sort of. I wonder if it's a matter of luck, or higher-end chipsets dying faster, or Core 2 Quad CPUs (mine is a QX9650) stressing the board more. These times …

Have a Asus P5QL P41 with CoreDuo E8400 Geforce 9700. Is rock solid XP/7 machine for 15 years. Will really be depressed, if it will break someday.
Re: Are there any games that require at least a Pentium 1 and would not run on a 486?

Windows 95/Direct X is really a Pentium+ era. But were there really a pure DOS game that absolutely needed a real Pentium?

For me it is simple. Computers with ISA slot or hardware DOS sound compatibility. After that the computer are just Windows machines with different levels of speed. But ok, there starting to be problems with sourcing good XP/7 machines. PS. Yest to two small tinny speakers. But no to Roland equipment …

Lets just say that REMOVED still for now does not have Petsci Robots. But those other games look nice. Project Clover looks exactly what I am talking about. Simple game.

It depends, was a active NES clone gamer. Never got on that Playstation bandwagon. But if I got my first computer, never looked back. All my computers after DOS 6.22 Win 3.11 era were multiboot. So had no problems with badly behaving games or software. Just choose my operating system partition.

Windows 7 should had been the last Windows. Not Windows 10. Then they blatantly lied. Now we have Windows 11. Sure we gonna have Windows 12. Maybe not Windows 13 for obvious reasons. 🙃

I have a short attention span. So like really like the arsthetic of that Planet X3. But just can not get in to it. Make a simple game. Action. Arcade. Platformer. Maybe even adventure. Or even some simple mouse controlled RTS. Main problem with new modern DOS games. They are too sophisticated and …

Then came the Windows 98SE era that lasted to golden XP era that lasted to the time they launched Windows 10. And then in that time I migrated my …
