Believe it , IT would speed it up. I know of a 486 that is almost as fast as this thing on the web. Put a couple pair of 32's in it.
Youngest sister will not trade it either.

I will. But first, I'm putting any extra cash I find laying around here into the pocket of my jeans with the hole burned in it. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Extra cash?? sounds like very unfamiliar term to me! Hole in pocket/Yes I resemble that remark.

Good morning, Queen_Of_Hearts...your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to build yourself a "dream machine" computer. As always, should you zap yourself, this forum will disavow all knowledge of you or your actions. This post will self-delete in 30 seconds....
Morning All, Nasty weather here, ice and such, staying at the house today. Nothing much has happened yet, I see.... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Pretty nasty here too greengoose !
No sleet yet. A little concerned about those flights out of Dallas....my UPS man said thats why my delivery is not here.
bistro,
I already am building my dream machine. Do that each night in my sleep.
I was perplexed about the cost of the RAM for this computer
compared to the 128MB prices we found for the new system.
Is that what sdtech was referring to here:
Originally posted by sdtech:
"hmmmmm....I see there are some questions about price of CPU's and RAM. Remember, if the item is no longer being manufactured,
(ie. 16Mb 72 pin EDO RAM) then its price will increase! Resellers must pay higher prices for dwindling supplies. They end up passing the price increases on to consumers. This may be the case for
Celeron CPU's. Most of them were in the 500 to 600MHz range."
snarfll also said in one of his posts that we should buy the best BRAND of Ram.
What's a good brand ?
Can't wait for the answers QoH. Good questions - now I don't have to ask them. Great. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Be Back.
If you get a mobo designed for ATA-66 and it takes PC-100 or 133, you're not going to have to worroy about buying the older RAM as sdtech mentioned. He's right though; folks who have older mobos (we're talking only a few years here) and want to upgrade their RAM, are seeing some price increases on the type of RAM they need. They got a choice; pay the extra bucks, or upgrade their mobo and buy the newer RAM--damned if they do, damned if they don't scenario.
As far as brand names, it's a toss-up--try PNY or Kingston; both good. Just make sure the sticks are exactly alike.
I had RAM on the brain and we were talking about adding to this one to make it faster. The link Train posted last night was for my present computer. Just was wondering why the RAM for this one was so much higher. Way higher for it than they are for the New one. I think I even need the 72 pin EDO. Then I remembered way back when sdtech posted that and went back to see.
(I had no idea what EDO meant at the time or that I would have it on this system)
Just rereading.... makes more sense now.
