First post, by Intel486dx33
I want to build a 486 like my first PC.
It was a
486dx-33
Generic ISA motherboard.
4mb ram
120mb hard-drive
Sound blaster 16
Sony 2x CDROM
Floppy
ISA controller
My questions are that this was all I could afford back in 1993 and costs me $2,500
What modifications should I make to this build to make it more useable.
I can upgrade the CPU to 486dx-50 or 486dx-66
I can upgrade the ram to 8, 16, or 32mb.
For the Hard-drive I will use a 540mb.
What speed CDROM should I use?
For Sound card I can use SB16, Vibra 16, Yamaha Audician, AWE64.
OS - DOS 6.22 / Win3.11
What do you recommend ?
