I'm always browsing ebay looking for junk. I spotted these things, and wondered how useful or useless they are?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt … em=250753376600 (386SX-33 mobo)
It's got an AMD 386SX-33 CPU soldered on to the mobo's PCB. It's also got a 66MHz oscillator, which doesn't appear to be socketed. There's also one big empty socket. I don't know how SX machines work, but presumably this idea won't work - put a chip in that empty socket, and the SX changes to a DX machine. I'm just guessing. I expect I'm wrong.
What games can run OK on a 386SX-33? Nothing too demanding, I would think. I expect Wing Commander would struggle a bit. Any comments would be interesting to read. Thanks a lot.
