How would a DX33/40 do in Ultima VII Pt. 2? I guess U5SX 486-33 is probably a sweet spot CPU for both games?

There's a thread for that

welcome! I always give a thumbs up to dual cpu setups! I do want to ask why you chose W7 and not XP.

[Obijuan1983]

I had Windows XP Home edition that doesn't support SMP.

I receive the packet yesterday and couldn't wait to find Windows XP Pro

By the way with Windows 7 Ultimate its working fine...Beast...

I am waiting to get 2GB RAM (4 x 512MB PC133) , 120GB SSD, PCI Sata Adapter , 2 x waterblocks and a new PC Case with window...

My newst buy, a Aopen AX59 Pro with VIA MVP3. I have installed this big Socket A CPU cooler on the AMD K6-III+ 500ANZ!

I ran a K6-3/500mhz system once a long time ago.... the ultimate space heater it was, no joke.

I have several Pentium 4 systems that are space heaters.

Just got this cute GX110 for free recently, came without expansion cards (empty riser card) and WinXP install. I've done some upgrades to make it a retro gaming PC.

Specs:
Pentium III Coppermine 933MHz
256MB PC133 SDRAM
CT6760 Voodoo Banshee 16MB PCI (with cooling mod)
CT4830 SB Live! Value
80GB WD Hard Drive

I had to mess around a while with the IRQ settings in the BIOS to get the sound card to work, but it came out nice in the end.

I ran a K6-3/500mhz system once a long time ago.... the ultimate space heater it was, no joke.

The K6-II+ or III+ was manufactured in 180 nm and runs much cooler than the original K6-II or III with 250 nm (both without +). My 500ANZ also does 600MHz with 1,95V VCore and runs very cool. It will not even run warm under Prime 95 load.

The + version was special produced for embedded systems or the mobile market.
