Ok all , the cheapo dual pentium 3 is up and running and gaming ! Its specs are two 933mhz p3's , 320mb ram , geforce 6200 , and unfortunately a 6 gig hdd. So I only have room for vice city , lol. But got a 40 gig coming from ebay (another cheapo).



You can see the two pentium 3's working together for the game. They sit at 1 or 2% normally.

Also , with these specs , You guys think its bad thats its on a 235watt psu?

Also the other rig is up now, albeit with a Puppy Linux install, (only have a damn old 2gig IDE drive till the barracuda 500 comes on thursday). Still good for testing though, I suppose I could leave it on, might even be good for pushing her harder. What testing apps run on linux?

Its a geforce 6200 low energy 256mb. Doesn't do half bad in these older games. I'm getting a 40 gig seagate in the mail soon , was only 18$. So I should be able to try more games on it.

Ive got a pentium 1 here somewhere from a 486. Damned old motherboard, with like this extender card with card slots on, for iso cards is it? Found it in a cupboard the other day, its where I got the 2 gig HDD from, that just happened to have Win95 on. Scanned the 95 install with AVG and it found alsorts of nasties. So is there anything modern that will support the Pentium 1?

I have an amd k6 thats 200mhz with 96mb of edo ram , and its runs xp pretty well. I'm tellen ya , the old computers are tough as nails. Leave them in a closet or garage for 10 years then pull them out one day and there fine. And thats what I like about xp , works on anything with 96mb of ram or more. Very backwards compatible.
