Hello everyone, figured I would join this place, first topic would be to introduce my K6-III 90s machine.
I didn't custom build it as such , it was actually originally a machine built by a company called Mesh , I simply added various parts to it to make it a more well rounded system.
the specs for the system are
250W PSU.
Epox EP-MVP3G-M SS7 motherboard
AMD K6-III 450 (thats the original K6-III , not the + series)
128MB PC100 SDRAM
12GB Seagate hard drive (didn't check which model)
80GB Seagate Barracuda hard drive
Voodoo 3 3000
SBLive! CT4760 (instead of the AudioPCI 128 which was in the machine)
SB AWE64G (ISA , for the DOS games of course)
ideally I would have gotten a 500-700mhz Coppermine PIII or an Athlon , but there are a few things I'm worried about
1)would the PSU be enough
2) how it would affect the DOS games, this one already has its issues with some of the Lucasarts stuff in particular (disabling the cache solves that).
overall its a decent enough system for what I need it to run.
