in 1995 that must have been a SUPER COMPUTER. Wonder what a Super Computer is going to be like in 2035 - twenty years from now?smalpierre said:At that time, my machine was pretty good and serviceable - a 486dx2 66mHz with math coprocessor, 4mb ram, a 512mb hard drive, 16 bit video, a 56k modem and a single speed cdrom. It ran Doom and Descent halfway ok, and I had a dialup shell account on a UNIX box, so I was a-ok![]()

WOW! Didn't know dialup was still being used. What speed do you get with dialup?ssamjh said:Probably a tower that had decent-ish specs for the age. We still have dialup internet so I can handle that if I need to. We have dialup and ADSL2+.

:shock: I've got 10MB/s and think it is not that particularly fast. How on earth do you manage to get a page up with 50Kb/s?ssamjh said:Now it's free. I get about 50Kb/s which is alright I suppose.
That's really a low end processor even by 1995 standards!.. I would have opted for a 100MHz Intel 80486 instead.mameroms said:ha, the year is 1995, My pc would have :
