Hehe - do you like pain or something?

Running Win95 on a 386 12MHz!!!

Have you overclocked it?

[SoopaStar]

you are kidding right? Are you in the USA? If you are, then let me know and I will send you some parts! I have a 150 processor, some ram and video and even a few 1 gig harddrives lying around. If yer not in the USA, maybe we can talk about you paying for shipping and I will just send it off. I hate to see people going with slow machines like that...

That's a **** fine and generous idea!

I'm sure we could have a round-up of some members old computer bits and sort out an upgrade!

[alondra]

first he needs a newer mobo, his probably wont upgrade. what case do you have?

[CMonster]

Woah bummer dude.. on trash day my neighbor found a complete 486DX-33 system sitting by the curb a few doors down ..

A shop near me sometimes has complete Pentium 166 machines for $199 -including monitor.

Keep looking around in your local area and you are bound to find some great stuff. Inquire at city/local government offices and facilities, many times they discard old computers and they can be purchased for a few dollars -literally

I just gave away my K6-2/300, FIC 503+ m/b and 64mb of pc100ram with it. Sometimes I'm just too dame nice.

[Ultima]

I would gladly give ya some of my parts, wasn't it for the fact that I live in Europe!!

I still have a voodoo 1 4Mb, which you could put next to the regular card!!

I also have a cyrix pr333, don't do anything with that either.
I know they ain't the greatest cpu's, but it is a lot better then a 386 ofcourse!!

I also have 2 hd's of each 1.6Gb, I just have no room for them!!!

Too bad I live in Europe I guess!!!

Pawn shops will sometimes have decent pentium machines cheap.

[alondra]

Hey just keep upgrading, youve improved on what you had 6/11 win.3.0 20 meg HD. ouch.
win 95 with 4 meg ram, what is your secret.?

[Emc2]

Wow, outpatient. My experimenting system needs an upgrade. It's only a P-233MMX, w/ 96mb of PC-66 SDRAM.

[blind to truth]

ill try to get a pic of it,but the machine is in a 8086 case!!Talk about sad...
its windows 95 B to,not the first version.
its not overclocked either.
12 whole whopping MHz.
I hope i get a good one.
I make $180 a week w/ out big taxes cause im not 18 yet.

[Eli]

I can donate a couple of 386 motherboards... One of them is bound to be faster than the 12 MHz beauty you've got.

50 meg hard drive anyone?

[thekingofpain]

I have a Mac I use daily, its a IIci w/ 25mhtz and 5 mgs of ram, Stylewriter printer fits on top, and it takes up about 1¾ square feet of my kitchen table, cost about 6000$ when new, im gettin every **** stinking pennys worth outta this baby... One thing for sure, I knew it would work when the millenium hoax rolled over... X10!

[Inferior]

Oh, my, god!!!!!!!!

You really are a crazy person, how can you use that?

Man, If i had some spare parts lying around, besides my 80386, I'd send it to ya, that is really sad that a fellow sysopt'er has to use that.......
