/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>534886
You could get a socket adapter to go down to a socket 8 or up to a 370, When those things came out I was all butthurt that intel went proprietary diverging the compatibility of amd and intel motherboards. Socket 7 was my favorite because all the motherboards could run Cyrix, AMD or intell.

You should try to find a 66/33 486 if you plan on running dos games. The P2's and P3's sometimes had issues. Have fun configuring extended memory. Play some good old fashioned X-Wing. I ran this on a 386 with one meg of ram and a 40 meg hard drive, the larger missions it got so laggy that I would have to fly out to deep space and wait for half my team to die before coming back. Good times, good times.
