What you don't like Commander Keen?

You ain't missing nothing

The golden question is: does it come with a turbo button to reduce the clock rate from to 4.77 MHz so my games do not run too fast? Those i386 DX CPUs always were too damn fast.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

You'll be running at 0mhz since it's an AM1 mobo lol

Did someone tear a ram slot off???

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I was about to explain that only EDO ram needed paired chips, whereas this motherboard takes sdram. But then I noticed, lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

When I googled the model number I found a picture that had 2 slots missing, it's an HP OEM mobo maybe it's down to application?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

To be fair, my first gaming PC had that exact CPU. It could run Dune2 and Monkey Island without any issues.

And sticking said CPU on a Socket 7 motherboard is an an art. Bravo 👏

EDIT: That appears to be an AMD socket, not Socket 7.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I googled it, it's AM1 lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes yes, pc may be old and maybe its misisng a ram slot lol. But how much was it listed for? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago
