Ahh. Thought maybe you'd be running pure DOS. I never tried Win9x on my PB, it's a great DOS PC though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Well my pentium-s kept crashing not sure why but it's unstable, I figured I could use the mmx but I've also got a k6-3 380 so I decided to use it at 400 6x66 for now

My games are still slow of course in fpu terms I'd be surprised if I was much faster than a 233mmx but I gain faster desktop and file transfers. Not what I wanted but i suppose it represents close to my original final upgrade way back when to a k6-2+ 450 @ 75x6 right before I went to axp 1700+

On the pentium chip it has 4 burned pins I didn't think much of it but appearantly it affected something
