Maw hahaha the Ultimate system

[Stumps]

Woohoo Windows 3.11 kicks ass hard especially on a 386DX40..yep thats what i just posted with and it works pretty good.
It even runs IE5 pretty good, similar in speed to an average P4 or Athlon with WinXP...no bull
the system spec are:
AMD Am386DX40
AMD Am387 40MHZ math co-processor
ISA/VLB motherboard (I have no idea what brand it is)
16MB 30pin RAM
VLB Tseng labs ET4000AX vid card
10gig Quantum HDD
SB AWE32
creative 8x cdrom

fairly old stuff but hey it works..and has less hassles thatn XP..ahhh the memories..now back to some DOS doom

10 gig?!! I didn't think a 386 mobo could adress more than 2. BIOS update?

also... DX40? or DX4.. That was a clock multiplier, no? so... 386@ probably 25Mhz x40 is what... 1000Mhz? Or is that another AMD marketing thing.

I had a 486@25 then got a Overdrive processor which bumped it (with a few jumper changes) to "486DX4" @~100Mhz. No stopping that.

the CPU is a Am386DX40, the 40 is the clock speed as in 40Mhz, the motherboard runs at 40mhz(wow!!!) and is synchronous with the cpu, no multipliers. the Vesa Local Bus also runs at 40mhz.
the real difference between the SX and DX models in the 386 was how it addressed the system memory, the DX model could address a 32bit wide memory bus the SX could only address a 16-bit wide bus, but of course any AT member would know that right?

and no the modem is a 33.6 internal

How the fsck did you get IE5 installed on a Win 3.11 machine?

 

[dighn]

there is a 16-bit version availible for download for win 3.1 and NT 3.51, it works pretty much the same

 

[Saulbadguy]

Are you using the entire 10 gigs of the drive?
