That's a very nice collection - all systems being "IBM" is really the icing on the cake(beautiful cases).
What main board "powers" the 486 system?
Maybe add SCSI to the P60 so that it has a bit more cycles to spare(or a PCI based IDE controller) and on the sound front a card with wave table support(or header+module). An overclock to 66mhz may also help to realize the system's full potential.
As for the P4 - I think their forte is playing build games at high(er) resolution. Maybe a Soundblaster Live! would be a nice addition to the system.
what means “what mainboard for the 486”? Is the originale one provider by IBM for this computer, i think is the last one, for the DX4, with the optional 3,3v converter. Is younger than the P60, the DX4 computer is from ‘95, the P60 come from 1994 printed inside.
Adding Scsi is not my plan, i have only 3 slot and one is occupied for the S3, another one for the Sb16 and i have also installed (but is not really need) a 3com 10Mbit ethernet.
Overckocking to 66Mhz is not possible because the jumper are not solder on the mainboard and i not want to modified this very rare computer… is totally original, and 6mhz more change nothing… also IBM never release a 66mhz version, only one version in a 3 slot (PC330) and in a 5 slot (PC350). that make this computer sooo fascinating.
Did you see my computer-span? from 486 to P200, like you said in tour post, for me the best moment in the gaming personal computer history.
