I honestly don't remember. But, a few years ago a guy that my wife worked with gave me a bunch of old computer parts. One of them was a one meg memory card. It was a full height (old foot print, so easily 6 inches tall) card that was aboput a foot long with who knows how many ICs soldered to it. Looking at that thing compared to a 256 meg sim in the same pile of crap was hilarious!!!

I have forgotten a lot, but John do you know if that DX2-100 would work in my machine? And yes, size, yeah. . No comparison.

Youngins.......Jeeez.....my first computer had no hard drive. It used a cassette recorder for a hard drive and had 27k memory. Then I thought I was flying when in thew following year I got a Franklin with 64k memory and still no hard dive. The Franklin ended up with 4 64k modules and I thought it was the bomb! It would crash often from the heat of the extra memory packs. DX2 running 98? I doubt it would run right. Years ago I put 95 in one and very quirky. Not sure of the memory on that one though. My own memory seems to overheat these days

Hmm... with me being 17, my first computer was a Packard Bell Legend. 486-DX2 66MHz, 8 MB ram, 1 MB Cirrus logic video card, 14.4 modem, soundblaster pro sound card, 2x cd rom drive and windows 3.11.

That case with some work would make a sick HTPC case.

my first PC was a Comador 64, then a Amega 2000, then a DX4-100, thena KS2-400, then a AMD T-Bird 1GHz.. and so on

LOL Bandit. I think the Commadore and Franklin were one and the same. Aint it funny how as soon as ya buy a new one, Ya hear of faster and bigger and before ya know it new software only runs on what ya dont have.

I wish I could find the article years ago quoting Bill Gates(of hell) saying computers would never need more than a Gig Hard drive. At that time I had 512M and thought it last for years. Less than a year later I found myself buying a Packard Hell P90 for $1500, And it has never stopped. :?

mine was a packard bell multi~media with a 486sx 33mhz, 4mb ram, 160mb hd. running windows for workgroups 3.11 (nt'* grandfather)

edit. actually its still in the basement lol

my brother and I still have Comadors 64 and 128 in use and working.

Heh. I remember my moms' fiancee had an old Tandy (radio shack i think brand..) with windows 3.1.. CD-rom wasn't even motorized.. push in, pull out tray.. floppy disc games and early cd rom racing games.. i still got the games and they STILL WORK!

even on xP.

I remember also when AOL came on 3.5"
