OS/2 - what a blast from the past. I remember it being bundled with my Vobis Pentium 60 plus applications(including a ?Borland? C Compiler)... all LOST unfortunately. Recently the father of a friend of mine gave me OS/2 Warp 4 and a Celeron laptop. I will try the ecomstation version though. There …

1999 was the year of many fun LAN matches in QuakeI/II. Like many I had the low budget speed solution - a celeron300A@450 on a good BX board. If I remember correctly I had a second CeleronA/BX box at a friends house for net purposes. Both had a TNT with 16MByte ram. Buddy of mine whom also befell …

Used to play Quake on my beloved Pentium 60 which was equipped with a Cirrus video card. Timerefresh in the start room was "12.xx fps". I added a Voodoo2 later but it still was too much for it. Nonetheless my favorite setup. Btw, first time i saw it running on a P200MMX I nearly fell out of my …

Great one! Love the crafty engineer stuff.

Would be awesome to see a PentiumMMX being pushed beyond 300 MHz. Also cool chips like AMD's x5 come to mind. An original Pentium clocked beyond 66 MHz would be my arch setup though I doubt there's a Socket 4 board with bus frequencies beyond the usual 66.

Strictly speaking I have one complete retro PC - an Athlon64 @ ~2500 Mhz... though that's stretching retro to Jupiter and back. More interesting may be my SuperSocket7 tech dump where a lovely K5 is nesting(overclocked from 100 to ~116 Mhz).

Fantastic comparison - big props!

Nice grab! ViaGra chip 😀

Nice one - model/specs?

Hi Vogon-ites - yes, the K5 is quite the fascinating little paper weight. Purchased mine from amoretro/"fabulous fabian" and have done a little bit of Doom'ing on it - hoping to post some bench numbers given my schedule permits it. http://i.imgur.com/P7jn6yt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KDNZRBp.jpg …
