Just tossed a 1994 IBM 486-66 which was around $5000 in its Day. The chip itself sold for around a thousand when it first came out. Lane |

That's as slow as my Palm handheld if I underclock it with this hack I've got. 1MB RAM upgradeable to 4 MB on motherboard, and it's got 8MB ram... $1099 And I got it for just over $200, I think (was a gift) The high end system was a 80486 @ 33Mhz, That's 1MHz faster than it goes at normal speed. RAM upgradeable to 16MB on motherboard, That's the size of the smallest flash cards these days. 5.0..... COST $1935 And that's just a little expensive. Happy 4th. Happy 5th. |
