even if I stil had a mobo to support it (which I could prob find on ebay), I don't feel like having to wait 1.5 weeks for it to complete a 1M run of SuperPI

that rig was running MS-DOS 2.0 - came on 5.25" FDs
last version of MS-DOS I used was 6.22; I've got like 5 different versions of MS-DOS around here somewhere, 2.0 and 3.1 were on 5.25" . . . I remember 4.01, 5.0 and 6.22 on 3.5"

I still have a MS-DOS 5.0 user manual on my desk, it has all the DOS commands, sytanx, and how to work with the OS.

Back then, I could navigate DOS so fast I could sometimes get the system to hang cause I was inputting command lines quicker than the OS could execute them

I was pissed, though, when MS dropped the DOS console from WIN (what was that, WIN ME or WIN 2000?). WIN 3.1, WIN 95 and WIN 98, I'd get frustrated with WIN and drop to a DOS console for moving files, searching, making new folders, etc.

Impressive speed at that voltage. My 5200+ is 1.35v and won't do 2.8 at that voltage (stock is 2.6)

Same here. I used to keep my old WIN95 machine around so I could play my old DOS only games (till it died) Now I probably dont remember half the commands I used to in DOS.

You need a new cpu, and you need to overclock what you got! P4 + HD3850 = mad bottleneck.

Yes I know. The only reason it's this way is that I sort of "came in" to this 3.4 GHz system and it had a junky X300 in it to start. My previous system was AGP based so I couldn't just move its video card over. Since I'm the sort to upgrade part by part anyway I figure that once I get a proper motherboard and CPU I can just migrate the 3850. And in the meantime, my graphics performance is kickass.

in the same boat with ya. All I really need is a new CPU - the two 1950's I'm stouting are still capable contenders, just not DX10 capable. I'm still eyeballing a Q8650, or maybe a Q9650 when I've got the money . . . but I've also been eyeballing investing that money into AMD stock instead . . .

TBH - I wish I still had the rest of the hardware to run those old procs. I could rack up a ton of point for TPU in hwbot

I had I don't even know how many 386 and 486s that my Dad nabbed from his work whenever they upgraded computers. I just remember they had Windows 3.1

From then on:

Athlon 1GHz (an HP)
Pentium 4 2.8GHz (first custom build)
Athlon 64 3200+ (laptop)
Pentium M 1.(?) GHz (laptop)
Athlon 64 3200+ (desktop this time, another build)
Core Duo 1.83GHz (current laptop)
Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (latest build, but recently sold the whole rig...)
