No, it's Jesus!

What kind of video card? How much RAM? What kind of monitor? Hard drives?

Did you put it together from parts or get it all together?

My father putted this machine together about 9 years ago.
I was 5 years old by the year my father purchased this olde.
He used this machine with Win NT first. 5 years later, installed Win 2000. 3 years after 2001, I took the 486DX2 out of my closet, installed Doom after I bought it
from ID last year, back in 99, I used to play Doom alot on that 486DX2, but, my father lost the floppies about a few years ago, so I had to buy it from the ID website.
The game installed, but the game did not play, because there was not enough RAM. (I think my father removed 1 or 2 sticks. Next, I tried to use it on my P1 after I installed PC DOS last year, and success.
Anyway, rest of specs are on the bottom...

This computer has a local bus Virge video card

The PC used to have 128 MB ram, but I removed 2 out of the 4 sticks today, because, my cousin, Cristian needed more RAM, and Descent would only play if the extra RAM was removed.
My monitor is a Samsung 17'' CRT monitor.
The model numer is 77V.
I'm not sure which hard drive I have.

Had lots of fun tonight playing One Must Fall 2097 with my friend, Chris, too bad I got beaten by him...
