I have not finished building my 486 yet and this little retro beast inside me wants more!
I'm a retro lover! hardware and software wise.
Love Graphic Adventures, and even though my 486DX4 75Mhz its still not to its 100%. Actually I'm waiting for a new Motherboard. (finally got a Gigabyte GA-486AM/S), I'm in the process of purchasing a Pentium II.
I was not going to do it I swear! I don't whant my house full of oldschool retro junk! (forgive me guys!)
Why did I buy it?
a) Pretty good reason: I got it for 5 euros (6-7 dolars). Not from a flee market but from a guy that had it advertised in Craiglist's version of Spain.
b) To play 96-97-98-99 era games. To keep it simple and summarize: To play games that cannot be played with a 486
I see the Pentium II as a quite versatile machine: Possibility of clockdown, etc.
I don't know the exact specs, neither what's inside of it.
I didn't want to ask the guy. Let it be a surprise...
The only thing he told me was that the CPU's brand is "jump"?
c) I liked the case, it even has a turbo button. Hell, just the case is worth 5 euros for me!
I know...... 😊
