Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 What I mean is good luck finding anybody in the forums who has a C3, regardless of core. I can only recall seeing one person who had one. For a while, though, I remember TigerDirect had lots of bundles and barebones kits with them...that was when they were still socket 370, though. I was always tempted to get one and see what it could do. And the fact that you could passively cool them was neat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Up until a few years ago I had a 386 machine with 4 megs of ram. Good times. My friend has a bunch of pentium 120 compaq laptops...they're slow as heck. We also have some old compaq desktop with a pentium 100 and COAST in it. No Cd-rom drive, may I add.

Guest FxXP Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 The oldest thing that I have kicking around is a Cyrix 6x86MX 150 (PR200+). I could fry eggs on that thing if I wanted to, they ran that hot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva_Unit_0 Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Good lord, that must have been a driver nightmare. I thought it was annoying enough just to get my sata working in WindowsXP setup... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 (edited) Barton not only added the larger cache size, it also was the first and only chip to support 166 and 200mhz fsb (333 and 400 if you're one of those folks too dumb to actually read the fsb and listen to the AMD version of it). My thoroughbred 2600+ has a 166MHz bus (333MHz) I had a Pentium 60MHz (ceramic, no heatsink) with 64MB of EDO RAM until March 2003. It was so slow, I had trouble running SimCity on it. It had Windows 98, and all it could do was run Internet Explorer 5.0 Edited December 16, 2003 by Paranoid600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neural Interface Posted December 16, 2003 Posted December 16, 2003 I have a 50MHz i486 DX2, It was my first comp and to my recolection ran win 95 quite well which supprises me when I think of it. I remember playing Wolfstein 3d and quake on it with 4 mb of onboard video ram and i think 8MB RAM, which was amazing for its time, in contrast my cely only had 4mb onboard video ram and it was made like 6 years later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
