Pentium4 with ISA slot is (i think) the fastest machine with ISA DOS support.

As anyone knows, I like ibm systems because of their legendary name. However, I noticed that in their thousand hardware combinations, the ISA slot has already been eliminated with the PentiumIII.

Is anyone aware of an IBM Pentium4 system with ISA slot ???

By the time Pentium 4 came out, there were nothing legendary in their desktop computers. Very ordinary and boring PC line.

To begin with, P4 ISA were very niche boards for industrial use, which is obviously not a target audience of big manufacturers.

The fastest machine with working ISA DMA is Core 2.

Good read here on ISA slot boards: https://flaterco.com/kb/ISA_chipsets.html

Hate posting a reply and have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. 🤣 Second computer a 286 12Mhz with real IDE drive ! After that came 386, 486, Pentium, P.Pro and everything after....

I agree with you, their legendary name I think is in vogue until PS / 2, but having to choose a brand in my opinion is the most legendary globally.

If IBM does not have produced the PC P4 (or core2) with ISA, do you know another excellent brand that made it? Assembling one is really the last of my choices.
