That could be kind of fun. How slow can you go?

Well its out of commission but I have a K6II that does a villan frame in like 21.6min it takes this thing 1 1/2 days per villan I have to ask myself if its worth the power bill to run it? I know its not worth the money to buy replacement parts cause I robbed them for the duron system.

I'll would surely win if the software could run on my first brought CPU in 94' or 95. It a pentium 75 with 8MB RAM.

LOL

i have a 286 and 386 collecting dust but win95 pushes the 286 i think the 386 can take win95 if i compress the hard drive, i did that once when i was about 10years old my first pc a 386!!

My PII 233 is slow!! that would be cool

The slowest box I have access to is a p133 that can't be OC'd. No internet connection though

I cant get to it till later in the week though.

The slowest machine I could possible get is a 286

It would be very interesting to see what kind of frame rate that thing could do.

I'm down for such a race.. how does it work?

I've got a P1-166 Linux box I need to rebuild (its in pieces right now).. And a 486 or two sitting around.. And a P2-266 and the my current rig K6-2 450. I'm all around slow over here, but I love these machines. Too bad I sold that 8088

lennytiger · Dec 25, 2001

I have a p 200 mmx.

lennytiger · Dec 29, 2001

great so we must set the slow comps up then!!! do we create a new team or just fold as for example "lennytiger_slow"?

adamtekh · Dec 30, 2001

hehehehehe cyrix :beer:

lennytiger · Dec 31, 2001

So shall we start one?

adamtekh · Dec 31, 2001

yeah im ready for it

lennytiger · Dec 31, 2001

OK, for all your slow boxes fold under your usual name except add _slow at the end that way we know who is in the slow computer race, could we make this a sticky so all the team members know???

Kendan · Jan 2, 2002

We should set a date to start. I will need to get a hub or switch or run another cable to get the p-200 online.
