Just curious about this one. The consensus seems to be to go Socket 3, 7, or SS7 for gaming in the era that the Socket 5 machines would have been around.
My very first machine was a Packard Bell Legend 406CD, P75 on a Socket 5 board. I played tons of DOS and early windows games on that machine without issue, though I have to admit I didn't play a HUGE range of games that would have tested compatibility.
Is there any reason to build up a Socket 5 machine, other than nostalgia or uniqueness?
