Yeah, This is the best Gateway I have. My 486 Gateways are a Pain to work with. The original CD-ROM drive was broken during shipping. So I just stuck a DVD drive in it which is the same type as in the original gateway.

POD 86 will run games like quake the best (due to it's FPU performance), but not at frame rates that I would consider enjoyable enough to bother anymore. Do you not consider a POD83 at 34 fps, or a POD100 at 41 fps playable in GLQuake? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=697548#p697548 It was …

Even into PII territory. I used my Am5x86-133 until Jan 1999.

Did many people really enjoy playing Quake in DOS at 320x200? Looks pretty miserable to me. Then when you shoot up to 640x480, the framerate on a P133 is only 13 fps. For this to play well in DOS at 640x486, seems to me that you really need to use a CPU that is not quite period correct, at which …

Intel all the way. I had a SV8B running for some time and it was not even remotely great. The iDX4 especially at 120mhz(and 133 if you're a sadist) is a little rocket. If only Intel had made a 150mhz version to rock a 50mhz fsb system.

Tuned is highest stable BIOS settings for the given CPU. Can be variable. Feipoa bits is using the cyrix enhancement he used in his Ultimate 486 bench as far as I remember. @feipoa: I totally don't remember haha
