I have had a couple of quite old (in PC terms, anyway) systems on hand for awhile
that still worked when I put them in a corner of storage area. I just might have
a use for one or the other of them (not really sure). One is a Dx4 486 / 100 MHz
machine from the early ISA to PCI changeover period (Socket 3), and the other is
a slightly later model, Socket 7, that has an AGP1 video bus.
Both last used Win95 as their primary OS. One has a 540 MB Hdd and 72-pin SIMM memory.
The other has an 850 MB Hdd and 168 pin DIMM memory, max 128 MBs each, "Low Density"
RAM (I have a range of possible CPUs for that one, from 120 MHz on up to 350, from
AMD, Cyrix, and Intel).
I'm pretty sure that whichever one I go with, I will want a newer Hdd than what these
two started with. The oldest requires an AT power supply, and so far, I haven't
had it working in a newer, AT/ATX case I moved it into (switch problems). I only
have one potential CPU option other than the Dx4, and that is a "586" K5 processor,
which I believe is 133 MHz, about which I have no "OK - not OK" recollection any
more. Whichever works reasonably well, I'll put a fresh Win95 install on it, I think.
