I enjoyed this and it covers some of the potential gotchas in building a late 486 machine.

I watched and enjoyed that too. One of his better videos.

LGR's channel is rad.

Envious of his storage room. I'm surprised he didn't have a GUS to put in there, it's nice for those Epic games that he's into too.

I think he forgot to put in cache and that's why Duke's performance sucks.
