Let me also ask... I've never had a computer with the turbo button. Does it actually do anything? it says 188, and when i press it is says 88. I dont think i noticed any difference when it was pressed. Very few boards after Socket 4 support the turbo button. Sometimes you can turn it into a suspend …

in DOS
I thought I had fond memories of Megarace with all its FMV glory... just ran it for the first time in over 25 years and it is awful! Turns out I mis-remembered and confused Screamer with Megarace haha!! Anyone else wish they never re-ran an old game that you had good memories of and it turned out …

[...] Thanks, Ill get all that info when I open it up a gain tonight. I didnt change any jumpers at all. Then you are definitely running the CPU 0.5V too high. Fortunately for you the P55C is one of the most overengineered pieces of silicon out there and it can take a lot of abuse - but it will get …

So i ran the computer with the case off and it lasted a lot longer. I was able to play through street fighter alpha all the way and then almost all the way through alpha 2. Then alpha 2 crashed to desktop . Since it didnt freeze or reboot. I started up tomb raider, which played fine. I got tired of …
