2 old dinosaurs

I just bought two 486 DX boxes from one of my instructors at school.

Here is what I got:

1)
486DX2 80
8MB RAM
120MB HD

2)
486DX2 66
4MB RAM
120MB HD

They both have floppy drives but no CD ROM.

I got the pair for $30

I plan on making one for the kids with Win 3.1 as the OS.

And the other I will make a Linux box to toy around with for myself.

Now all I need is a few cheap 14 or 15” monitors, and a CD ROM drive (I have one I can use already), and some more memory. They both have 72 and 30 pin slots for memory, but I am not sure if I can use both simultaneously. Oh, and a few 2GB hard drives may be in order.

I know it’s not much…but for $30, what the heck?

Cant complain at that, would run ok on 3.1
My first pentium (75) came with 8meg ram and it cost me $300 for another 8meg tehehe times have changed. You did good

I've got a 486/66 with win95 and it runs fine with as low as 16mb ram but best at 32. I havent used it in a long time but used to alot for net cruisin. They're ok for some things and good to learn on.
