Pentium4 with ISA slot is (i think) the fastest machine with ISA DOS support.

As anyone knows, I like ibm systems because of their legendary name. However, I noticed that in their thousand hardware combinations, the ISA slot has already been eliminated with the PentiumIII.

Is anyone aware of an IBM Pentium4 system with ISA slot ???

By the time Pentium 4 came out, there were nothing legendary in their desktop computers. Very ordinary and boring PC line.

To begin with, P4 ISA were very niche boards for industrial use, which is obviously not a target audience of big manufacturers.

Pentium4 with ISA slot is (i think) the fastest machine with ISA DOS support.

The fastest machine with working ISA DMA is Core 2.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

I agree with you, their legendary name I think is in vogue until PS / 2, but having to choose a brand in my opinion is the most legendary globally.

If IBM does not have produced the PC P4 (or core2) with ISA, do you know another excellent brand that made it? Assembling one is really the last of my choices.

Pretty sure my old P4 IBM tower has ISA slots. Are you looking to buy one?
