>>738954759It's 40MHz, so asssume a 486 with no 3D acceleration.

>>738954856so just old dos games? I suppose some oldschool shmups and oldest D&D games?
we're reaching break-neck computing power guys!
>>738954856There were no 486 CPU clocked at 40MHz. Very first ones have 25MHz clock, followed by 33MHz and later by 50 MHz.Pic is most probably 386DX machine.

>>738954925doom II, BITCH!
>>738955026IIRC the turbo was there because some older games using the CPU clock would run at unplayable light speed if they were being fed through a faster one, so it was there to artificially slow the CPU down so you could still play them. Why they called this function turbo instead of slow-mo or compatibility mode or something I dunno, marketing I guess.
>>738956583Sort of like how games that use CPU without frame limiting jump up to huge numbers with modern hardware? (Touhou games from Zun for example if not from Steam.) They thought faster = better but for some games lower FPS/Refresh Rate is better. (2D Arcade games, bullet hells etc are better on 30-40ish fps, readable screens, 60fps is unplayable, 20fps will make it stutter too much.)
>>738955934>DX2See >>738955026. It's showing a machine build around this exact CPU. Original clock speed was 20MHz, which when 'turbo'd goes into 66MHz,thanks to extra 16kB of cache with enabled 'writeback' function. 486 CPU with real 40MHz clock were rare and never ofically issued for the market of home PC's, They were used, but only in some embedded machines for industry
good old touhou

>Silverstone has a new retro style pc case>It's like fucking $300>Can't get a straight answer if I can get one of the (now cheap) 5000 series cpus for my fuckin b-450 doodoofart msi motherboard
>>738954542boot up the telnet client and play The Forest's Edge
>>738956984You sound retarded. Yes, you can.
>>738956984Oh, and because you're retarded, update the BIOS first.
>>738957034I fully admit I'm retarded, I have a probably unreasonable fear that putting a (comparatively modern) CPU to replace my 2700 would make my computer doodoo its farts, even if I feel like that'd be a good cheap replacement.That and replacing my rx 5700 with something more modernEven if admittedly the only modern game I see myself fucking around with in the near future is Half Life X if it has dev tools (for linux users)
>>738956805Turbo is the real clock speed. They didn't overclock to double their frequencies. They underclocked to half for compatibility (since some shit would run too fast at higher clock speeds). A 66 downclocks to 33. What that video is showing isn't true.
>>738957238just get a mid-range portable PC if you only care about old dated games and install linux on it.
>>738957238Only the early AM4 mobos have trouble running 5000s simply because the BIOS size started to get too big from adding too many gens.
>>738957361I thought about getting a gabe cube, but with the am4 cpus cratering and consumer gpu prices about to eat shit, I figured it might be a good idea to just get a new gpu and a cpu.I already have 32 gb of ram
>>738954542Mega man 3
Anything I want after I double my ram!
>>738957430I think some things like these mini-PCs on Amazon would be a good trade-off for old games tbfh or mini-emulator machines etc.
>>738956518Doom 3, WHORE
>>738957662They're also way more fucking expensive since they have ram you doughnut.
>>738954542Wolfenstein 3DStar Wars: Dark ForcesStar Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, and Mysteries of the SithMS-DOS RPGs.
>>738957430Mini PC is a trap, you don't get those if you're looking to game, you get them as HTPC or emulation stations.
>>738954542>floppy and disc driveSOUL therefore I'd play Doom, Starcraft and some poorly coded SNES emulator
>>738957796Dude, as discussed, the gabe cube is better than my pc
>>738957859Pretty sure it's not better than a 5700.
>>738957726Depends on how much you are getting them for, currently they start the lowest at $200 to $1000. Its a trade-off.
>>738954542If it has zero wait states, you can play NES games on it with nesticle at full speed and all **you do need to set it to frameskip 1/30FPS because the ISA bus can't handle 60 FPS fullscreen anything.
>>738957895I'm pretty sure the 7600 (or some kind of equivalent) is better than the 5700, but hey if I'm wrong I don't have to buy a new gpu.Unless we're talking cpu in which case, yeah probably.
A bunch of shitty MSDOS games like Jill of the Jungle and word rescue. I kinda wish i got given some good MSDOS games. Monkey island or sam and max woulda hit hard.
>>738956583well right there in the fucking video it shows the clock speed going UP when you press turbo you nigger LLM

That 40mhz is killer though.

>>738958464My computer; I will.
>>738958159>well right there in the fucking video it shows the clock speed going UP when you press turbo you nigger LLMThe button is clicked in before he powers it on, you can see how recessed it is before and after he pushes it. Anon is right that was what it was for, cute little zoomie.

SNES9x, Magic Engine, NeoRageX.
>>738954542>Turbo button engagedYep, it's gaming time
I actually have one of these. It's a DX2 50MHz, some cirrus logic vga, and an SB Pro. Added an old CD drive I had. The only real problem is the 300MB hard drive, and it has no physical space for a second drive.I used to play Wolf3d, Dune 1 (the music on this is INSANE good even by modern standards), Heroes of Might & Magic 2, Volfied, Pinball Fantasies, Raptor Call of the Shadows, Mortal Kombat 1-2-3. I think I tried Red Alert 1 but it was too choppy.Doom runs too choppy on this so I wouldn't even try that.Nowadays I'd just use x86box, it's finally accurate enough with all the ones I listed above, even the music in Dune. Dosbox fucking sucks.
>>73895454240MHz means it's a 386 chip.So for Arcade games you could Major Stryker, Commander Keen, Wacky Wheels, Secret Agent, Crystal Caves.Puzzle games like Millebornes, Sherlock Zen, Canasta.You could also boot Windows 3.1 and play games like Klotski, Kye, Solitaire.
>>738954542Yes I'm old.
>>738959421Oh and I forgot Freecell, which used Win32S.
>>738954542X-COM UFO Defense.
i love old games

>>738954542I remember my friend had one of these like 20mhz and then you press the turbo button and it went to 40 mhz and Perestroika became so fast it was unplayable.
Nothing. I'd sell it and get an N64 or PS1.
>>738955026child me had no fucking idea what the key was for, i think i faked "launching nukes" with it once or twice.

>>738956583Because the computer booted in backwards compatibility turtle speed mode and the turbo button made things go faste.
Are there modern computers with turbo buttons?
>>738956805>Original clock speed was 20MHz, which when 'turbo'd goes into 66MHzWrongThe turbo button was to UNDERclock CPUs for older software that ran too fast from having their speed tied to CPU speed

My childhood computer was a Macintosh with a 33mhz CPU and 8MB of RAMAnd of course being a dumb kid I went for whatever I could run that was newest and fanciest at the time, so I successfully played>Doom>Duke Nukem 3D>Hexen>Warcraft 2>Civ2>Alone in the Dark (real polygons!)>Star Wars: X-WingAnd of course the less demanding Lemmings, Oregon Trail, SimCity, etc.This isn't conjecture, it's stuff I had installed. Duke might've run kinda shitty and I was too dumb to notice.I seethed when I couldn't run Diablo
>>738954542Age of Empires I
>>738956583It's because PCs started with "the IBM PC standard" which called for a 20mhz 386 processor and DOS with no true multitasking, a program would take over the whole machine like a console and use all of its resources exclusively. And for a while PC software developers didn't consider the possibility that anything would change ever, and tied the framerate of the game directly to the CPU clock.
My PC as a small boy was an AMSTRAD with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1. It had Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards, and I actually managed to break through the age verification questionnaire a few times. Wasn't worth it; What a shit game!
>>738954542From the looks of it, it's a 486. So Doom, Wolf3D, Warcraft, Diablo, Duke3D (it'll struggle though, but that's half of the old PC gaming charm) and maybe try Crusader.
Moms job place was getting rid of old towers, monitors, and accessories. She brought me and my brother an entire setup eachit was my starcraft machine, and once we got internet, battle.net and AIM machine

>>738954542what's the lock for?
>>738954913>raptor: call of the shadowsToo based
>>738982896Floppy disks had no "eject" button, so the lock was to prevent damaging the disk/reader
>>738982896Anti-tamper mechanism.>>738982964I advise you to say no more.
>>738954913in raptor call of the shadows, i autistically calculated what my money would be hex and used a hex editor to change the save file. flying in with all weapons loaded was godly.
>>738954542Nothing. I can play all my favorite retro games on my current PC.
>>738958254I had a 486. Mechwarrior 2 could run, but not very well unless using the thermal (wireframe) vision.Return to Zork, Abuse, Rebel Assault, Halloween Harry, Duke Nukem trilogy.I'd like to look through a shop for software around then. What wouldn't seem worthy of being a game was sometimes a great experience. Some edutainment stuff. Stuff then was made for a higher class.
