Socket 7 on a early 95' build?
Not that it particularly matters I guess. Assuming your going the whole "period correct on everything except for the motherboard/bios date".
I have this debate with myself alot tbh. Period corrext builds are awesome. But then some components like motherboards are often better off being later-editions 😀
Love where this build is heading! Iv been thinking about doing an early 95 build myself.
Don't mind me if I take some notes ;D
I know in the past I had some mobo even older (I don't remember the chipset) with only SIMM modules and 3,2 and above voltages, but I don't have it anymore. I'd love to build one day a Pentium 60 0,80um bug-enabled socket 4/5 build but mobo are rare and quite big for any case. Not to mention to buy a whole pc itself..
So i've to stay to the oldest AT oriented mobo I find. Obviously those later mobo with heatsinks on the chipset or whatever I don't even want to see them.. at that point just go for a SS7 mobo. Actually I don't want to see a BGA chip based card on this build. 😁
