It's not the CPU alone, it's ALWAYS the combination of the components.
Though the CPU choice is a BIG point on this...

Yes, and your opinion about my “problem”?? I see that you have a system similar to my IBM...

Try Wing Commander 1 on the 486. Or 2001 games on your p3.

2001's a piece of cake for my P3. I built mine to handle games from 2000-2005. 😜

94 MHz NEC VR4300 | SGI Reality CoPro | 8MB RDRAM | Each game gets its own SSD - nooice!

Wing commander 1 is perfect speed when I disable L1 cache on my 486 33Mhz while keeping turbo and L2 cache on. It is also perfect system for ultima 7.
I think most 2001 games would run just fine on my P3. At least I have not come across any win9x games that I would have problems with. It is also perfect for dos games that need faster system than my 486 and glide games.

If I would have to choose, I make it very simple.
Put another PC-Board in your A4000 for 2D Dos/Win3x gaming und use the 300GL for early 3D. Put a Voodoo1 in it.

I did LOT's of testing and there is NO All-In-One that does it all...that's my resume...
therefore I use lot's of different systems...

My idea to all in one is that: using sbc make simple to swap from sbc with with K6-3 to another one with 486 SX25, even a Tualatin or P4 sbc is easy to find. The real problem that i see is that i am limited in a onboard graphic chip. If i need more graphic power i need to put out the sbc from the A400 and intall it in a backplain with only PCI alernative for graphic card. I already have an ATI 9250 PCI.
