Howdy!
Recently I have become an owner of computer from 90s on (mostly) retail parts! 😁
Motherboard is Gigabyte GA-686LX4 rev 2.0
CPU is Intel Celeron 300A

I already OC'ed Bus to 100MHz and CPU to 450MHz.

Motherboard user manual in 4th page lists some benchmark results

It's not same specification as mine but I think it still would be nice to see how much points I will get 😁

Issue is I run Windows Me on this machine. I do it and I want to do it because I have already enough NT and 95/98 machines and laptops in my room, while I never experienced Me beside once installing it in VM.
While installing Winstone/Winbench I either get bluescreen with VxD or program crashes with illegal exception. Any idea what could be the reason? Is there any workaround?

okay fuck this shit. this piece of shit software doesnt even fucking work with basic 56k pci modem and hangs on searching for drivers on fucking CD if it doesnt fucking randomly stop seeing CDROMs because why fucking not. Maybe it's because of OC. idgaf anymore, i will install 98.

never try Me. Its fucking dogshit.
