That was back then. They'd have a C2Quad, or i7 if they kept up with the upgrades. $50 per year isn't bad.

My dad had one of those (no, I was not with him when he bought it). Horrible.

We have an E-machines at work that runs a print station, 486-SX, still runs fine. That processor seems like a joke now but it was a budget model from many years ago, good basic system just not much of a gaming rig..

I think it's early-mid 90's vintage. it's all relative you know?, to me "many years ago" was when I had a Commodore 64..

My first PC that I bought was a 486 DX. I still have the CPU somewhere. It ran at 100 MHz. It had about 16 MB of RAM with a 540 MB harddrive. Some dude at the time told me I had a 'screamer'. LOL
