Really need a 386? Hmmm!
I did. Because my collection is a project.
The goal of the project, is to have at least one of each CPU class. From 286 to Athlon. That is mid-80's to around 2000. Shure I can not have it all, so I have choosen only to focus on Intel and Amd. So to speak.
The goal is to have a collection that are showing the progress from the "nerd machine in the basement", to the families everyday everything Workstation.
A collection that tells a tale of history, so to speak.
EDIT:
For the record, I went for a 386sx33, of various reasons. One is that it is what I had, and another would be, that it is hard to get stuff older than 15/20 years were I live.
It was what I got to get, and I went for a build with that.
Not picky with such old hardware. Not picky with my 286 as well. It is an 8/10mhz (Turbo button is a BIOS setting) and it means more to me that I have a 286 and not that the 286 is a 8/10 mhz and not a 16mhz.
The collection did get those two CPU Classes never the less, so I am happy about what I got to get.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
