Browsing your thread on a DX2-66. Only in 800x600@256 color mode right now. Runs a little slow at high color and the lcd can't take the refresh rate at higher resolutions 😊 ...

edit: not sure what proofs to include unless i flip over to dos mode. I don't seem to have anything to show system specs on win 3.11.. It's an i486-dx2 66 + 16mb + 256k l2 cache

Wait, Vogons loads on IE3? Quite impressive!

EDIT: Could be Netscape or Mosaic, I'm a little clunky on old browsers.

That's IE5 (V5.00.0913.2206). It says it's Based on NCSA Mosaic, but it works on 3.11 no problems, I can mess around on google and browse a few choice websites, but it's not too pleasurable. I would think with a bit more ram, a 5x86 133, and a vlb card that could give me 1280x1024 res browsing this website would be quite doable.
