i remember my uncle giving me an engineering sample 486 which was twice as fast as my previous 486 and the RAM count was substantially faster actually everything was noticeable and substantially faster. windows 95 was a bit sluggo on a 486-33 with 8MB of RAM lol

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:what exactly was it doing with each increment? checking for bad RAM. probably just writing a value and then reading it back to see if it was the same.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:nice. what kind of kickbacks did you get from the sales rep none actually they just let some machines in. a semiconductor fab work like 5% faster than the 200MHz things they replaced so they actually paid for themselves in like 2 months. if you have ever opened up a pc that has been in a clean room for 10 years its a surreal experience, all those old parts and no dust at all, it is weird.
