So with a potential move coming in the near future, I need to get rid of parts that appear to be redundant in my collection.
Before we can get an idea of what I don't need, I'm mainly interested in mid to late DOS (say 1992 onwards) and early 9x to mid XP era gaming. At the moment, I have the following complete systems built:
- 486 DX33 (8MB ram, SB16 and 512k VGA card - DOS) - Keeping
- Pentium 166 (32MB ram, AWE64 and 2MB PCI SVGA card - Win95 / DOS)
- Athlon XP (512MB, SB Live, GeForce2 Pro 64MB - WinME) - Keeping
- FX 4100 (8GB ram, X-Fi Fatal1ty, EVGA GTX 960 - WinXP)
And the following spare parts in storage:
- Slot 1 440BX board with PII 300 and spare mendocino Celeron (on slotket)
- MSI VIA-based Socket A mobo with Duron 750
- ACER socket 478 board with dead Ethernet chip (3ghz P4 HT)
- HP 775 board with Core2Duo E6300
Of these, I'm thinking there's plenty of opportunity for removing redundant parts and systems from the mix, just that I'm not sure what is and isn't. That's where you guys come in, for my timeline that I've specified, what would be the best systems to keep?
