486SX 25Mhz vs Windows 95!

Un vetusto ma ancor perfettamente funzionante 486SX 25Mhz, 8Mb sdimm, S3 1Mb VGA, 165Mb HD1, 2Gb SCSI HD2, SB16 VALUE, KE2000 PNP network card, lettore cd collegato in slave sull'hd primario e floppy che contro ogni previsione fa girare e anche piuttosto bene Windows 95!

Piu' che nerd mi fa piacere sfruttare cose che si danno per spazzatura ma ancora stupiscono con un minimo di impegno. ;)

Poi ammettiamolo, abbiamo tutti un goccio di "nerd" in tutti noi.

It's way "snappier" than my i5 laptop at work with win7. Everything obviously isn't "oh so much better".

@linuxguy2009 I believe that a 486 with 8 MB ram was actually listed as the recommended requirements for Windows 95.

@1xWertzui works well on a Am5x86 (133) which by the way could be run as 160 and suddenly you could play Quake.

LOL I have the same computer, expect I have put the motherboard into another PC case.

I avoid putting a Windows 95 on a 486SX, I think Windows 95 needs more like a Pentium to be fully operational.

@morepl0x Knowing DOS commands was the craziest thing ever? It was NORMAL before Windows. I actually liked those times way better. People knew their shit. Not like today, everybody's got a computer but no1 knows how to use it for more than browsing the internet. The OS's are getting simpler and more idiotic every few years. I think it's sad.

oh man, the craziest thing ever was logging out of windows so you can enter dos commands, and the craziest thing ever ever was knowing dos commands.

why talk like that? because this is so ancient i talked liked that back then.

I have an old Compaq 486SX 25mhz computer running Win95 that I've used every day at work since 2000. It is a print server in my office that shares 4 printers on our SOHO network. It still runs every day!

More Fast than my HTC touch pro @ 550mhz 256 ram ... (emulated by Bochs)..

I had once worked with Win95 OSR2 - he tolerates working on i486 33 MHz, but not less than 8 MB of RAM, although running at 4Mb.
