Upgrade Your Pentium PC with the Power of Multimedia!!

I found this video series on a old "CD-ROM Today" CD magazine from around 1994. You get to learn how to upgrade a powerhouse Pentium system with a newfangled CD-ROM and sound card! Now you are playing with power, folks, and have a system that meets the horrendously outdated and useless-even-then Multimedia PC (MPC) spec!

Video seems to have been made by Diamond Multimedia. Sorry about the quality; video codecs and the hardware to play videos back really were not all that amazing in 1994.

I run a few web sites and Win3.x shows up in the stats occasionally. I am amazed that people can browse the modern web on that OS. Jeez people, go upgrade already!!!!!! :O

How could you watch this video if it was on the CD-ROM disc if you didn't have a CD-ROM drive? xD

@honam1021 Nope.
