What DOS PC Should You Buy? - Lazy Game Reviews
Loading...
Uploaded by phreakindee on Jan 29, 2010
I have been getting several questions regarding what DOS PC I would recommend to play games for MS-DOS. There are quite a few answers so in this video I give my opinion on the topic.
This is an experiment with something different instead of just game reviews...
More LGR involving actual reviews next week!

@Gregunit You know the phrase "they just don't make 'em like they used to"? It's not just an overused catch-all motto! Many things really did have a higher build quality back then. Otherwise, I don't know. Bad luck I guess.

Hey, LGR!
I picked up a 386sx pc with vga graphics, and 896KB ram. I need help finding ram chips for it. I dont know that interface they are, so if you could help me out, what were the common ram interface for the early 90's

@fortifythamind There were several, but most common for those 386-era machines was 30-pin SIMMs.

@TommyDDoom Not bad. Unless you want to play the later DOS games, like Blood, Carmageddon, or Quake very well at least. 32MB RAM and a much larger hard drive would do wonders. And you left out CPU, which is a pretty vital stat. For that setup I'd recommend a 75-100MHz 486DX/4, although a Pentium will be better for the aforementioned later DOS games.

Everyone! Get a Datel 486! It runs DOS, has a 5 and a quarter inch floppy, a 3 and a half inch floppy, and a quad speed CD drive! I got mine for $10!

@MasterGamerful Or literally any one of thousands of comparable clones! :D That's the thing with PCs... no need to list any brands because you don't really have to. A PC is a PC is a PC, for the most part.
