My Old School Computers Part 2, The Compaq Presario CDTV 520

This computer was so amazing to me when it was new! This is the second of a few videos about the computers I grew up with. Originally this had an AMD 486 SX-2 66Mhz CPU and 4MB RAM. It now has a 133Mhz CPU and 64MB RAM.

@vidmanproductions I've been in a couple other videos too, you probably just didn't notice. Like in the "Kilgen Organ For Sale" video.

This would have been a great computer to use for games like Doom and Rise OF The Triad in the mid 90's. What do those 3 buttons on the right hand side of the case do? Is the power button a real hard on/off switch like what you'd find on AT computers of that time period, or it is a soft off type switch that you'd find on more modern computers?

@Lachlant1984 The 3 buttons are volume and mute. The power switch is a hard switch.

@Remi1115 It's the virus scanner. Some old DOS based one.

Why is there a folder called 'Virus' on 4:50 :P .
