I'm not sure if I should keep posting here but I would love to hear some more opinions of people that have knowledge on 386 computers. Of the 2 386 computers 1 is a 386dx-25 and the other is a 486dlc or slc. Of the two, which would be better for dos gaming? The 386 can have 8Mb of ram and the 486 …

Ok, so I talked to the seller and it seems like a legitimate screw up. He also has a TNT2 Ultra and messed up on which one he thought it was. He was nice and asked me what I would like to do. I told him I understand mistakes and the price, to me, wasn't so far off for that it was a massive …

Thanks for the info and its less of needing the fpu so much as wanting one :) I can very much understand this sentiment :3 Yeah it is mostly learning for me, but I figure I may as well put as much into it as I can 😁I am also going to try to figure how much ram I have and see what I need to get and …

ill have to look into getting one once I am able to test that they work It's worth setting up an account at http://www.cpu-world.com/forum/ for when you need to buy an FPU. There is a For Sale forum there, and all manner of CPU/FPU/MCU related chips sell cheaper than places like eBay. Collectors …

im not sure which coprocessor goes into that socket or which memory they use, but I thought the external battery was interesting as its a new one for me too....I started pcs around athlon xp days, that was actually my first pc so I am learning all the old stuff now. Any 387DX or 487DLC will pair …

The psu is similar to the one in the small pc just larger and It has a card with a speaker built onto it. It also has some old paperwork in it.

more of the pictures caused they wouldn't all fit. From what I can tell it might be a 486 under the heatsink. The XC87SLC-33 appears to be a maths coprocessor for a Cyrix or Texas Instruments 486 i think from the info i can find online. It said something about a hybrid 386/486 but i got lost at …

And I took pictures of that unkown pc for you all to check out :) I think I got decent pics. I saw nothing with AMD or intel on it. Only 1 chip has a heatsink and I am scared to …

Update on the card. I messaged the seller, it seems he has a tnt2 ultra but got confused and sold me this one. Funny thing is, he is mad at me for not realizing cause he wanted more money for it!!! I mean, heck it his fault for being confused as the seller.
