"...Pentium 133"

I can remember when I would've chopped my left testicle off with a butter knife for something that good. :)

I had a Pentium 133MHz, I remember marvelling at how "fast" it was too, especially compared to my sister's sub-100MHz machine. Mind you, I also remember getting excited about Windows 98 coming out!

BTW, whatever happened to the Plus! editions of Windows? I assume they became the Ultimate editions etc.

I thought that because the equivalent of Home Premium, better media facilities etc

Man that game looks bad, I made something better looking (and sounding) than that for a 2nd year project... mind you they didn't have much to work with those days. PC probably didn't even need much active cooling :lol:

I had a 486DX2 66MHz an laughed in the faces of the slow 386 machines and 486SX wanabees with their missing FPU! I was in gaming heaven lol Although at the time a soundcard and speakers were an optional extra. Only one other person at my school had a PC. I'm sure at the time PCs werent considered gaming machines at all really, or at least not mainstream.

I also remember upgrading later from 4 to 8MB of RAM for £90+VAT!!!

A year down the line (I think) and P60/P66 started to hit the market. I craved for one. That or the DX4100. I didnt upgrade the CPU though until I got the AMD K6-2 333MHz and a Voodoo2 :D
