Wow I haven’t checked the post for a while and there’s a lot here!
Thanks for your responses!
To clear things up a bit I was able to pick up the Pentium computer just a quick tram ride away from Melbourne for $50. Not the lightest thing to lug home but easier than a eMac G4!
The reason why I got the computer so cheap is because the seller didn’t know what it was and I took a gamble. Came with 64mb of ram, 12x cd drive and a 10gb quantum fireball (replacement).
I certainly agree with people that getting a little beefier of a processor with an agp slot to sport really would boost the options available to me. But half of me really wants to see how far I can get with what I’ve got haha.
I came back home for a couple of days from Melbourne (moved for uni) and searched through the parts I’ve got kicking around.
Turns out these are the Pentium I own: 90, 133, 166, 200mmx OD and 233mmx. So I do have upgrade options in the future.
It’s a shame how hard period correct PCI cards have become to find. I’d love a voodoo but I don’t have the budget for it.
