Avant, il y avait les MHz qui comptaient vraiment.
Intel 486 DX2-66
33 MHz dehors. 66 MHz dedans.
8 Ko de cache. 1,2 million de transistors.
Et le PC beige put afficher Doom avec une ambition nouvelle.
Le radiateur bleu ? +10 en charisme.

Almost done! Software-related shenanigans next!
Yes, the optical drive is gray. It matches the power button (which is 3D printed)! It was also the only IDE drive I had that worked. Plus, many systems during this time had beige/gray aesthetics.

So, today I unbox an eBay purchase, basically a random bid I didn't even expect to win. Did I luck out, or is it junk?
And yes, you know what this is.

It works!
Now to clean, address the missing power button, get a hard drive in it, sound card, maybe more RAM, and test test test!!!

Also, janky Linux stuff.
Yes this is my original boot floppy, though I have lost the actual install media, manuals, etc. 🥲 Might still be at my dad's house...🤔
And even though this thing has abused me enough, once done maybe I'll do a Linux install on a 486? 😬

The Nvidia 1080 card is the Intel486 DX2 of our time.
Really great at release and stood the test of time so gamers didn't have to upgrade for many many years.

Linux開発者らが37年前のIntel486のサポートを終了し始める
1989年に発売されたプロセッサ「Intel486」のサポートを、Linuxが終了し始めたことが分かりました。Linux開発者のリーナス・トーバルズ氏は「サポートに1秒たりとも無駄にする理由はない」と語っています。

I miei figli stanno leggendo e rileggendo i miei vecchi Topolino, ed oggi (su uno del 1994) sono incappati in questa pubblicità dove con il PC (Intel486 con 4MB di RAM) regalavano addirittura una bici…e questo mi fa pensare a quanta strada abbiano fatto (con o senza pedali) 😅🚲

Strike Commander Big Box including an undamaged poster arrived! I remember trying to rebuild the skyscrapers in 3D Studio back when I originally got the game. Had the poster for a few years in my room. I had a 486 DX 33Mhz at the time which ran the game ok 😉.

Nah, xbox360 (just about as old though.)About 5 years ago, I worked In a resale shop and we had an in the box, never turned on Intel486 with all the toys come in in an attic clean out. I kick myself for not grabbing it.

Intel/EA "cross-ad" : Strike Commander poster praising the Intel 486 DX2 CPU, and Strike Commander as first game listed on the back (french version). Only games published/distributed by EA on the list (Interplay games were then distributed by EA in Europe).

System Shock came in a big box and on nine 3.5" floppies when it was first released. It required MS-DOS 5.0, a measly 35 megs of HD space, 4 megs of RAM (8 were recommended!), and rendered its world in blistering 256-color VGA graphics running on a 486DX/33 (a 486DX/50 was also recommended!).
