10gb storage? thats huge!! you should be using 5 1/4" disks, or at most a 200mb hard drive.

Yikes, If you'd have had 16 megs ram back when that thing was new it probably would have run you $1000+.

I remember back in an old gaming magazine maybe in 1993ish (or whenever X-wing came out) a letter to the editor where a reader was asking the cheapest way to get ten gigs of hard drive. The editor bashed him asking what he wanted to do, install 100 copies of X-wing. Oh how the times change.

I was just playing the collectors edition of X-Wing today..the one with B-wing and Imperial pursuit add ons...that game still kicks butt, it runs nice and smooth on the 386
I might need a 486 to run my Dark forces though

I wish they'd do a remake of X-wing. Keep the entire game the same, but use today's graphics abilities. It'd be awesome!

UP until 2002, my main computer was a 486dx4 (100mhz variety). Had 8 30pin simm slots and 8MB of ram, a 1MB VLB card (hercules doesn't even make graphics cards anymore, do they?), and a 530MB segate hdd. Ran win 95 plus slower than molasses. I used to sit there and play pinball from the plus package for hours and hours. I encoded some Mp3's on that biatch, and it took almost an hour for one track to encode...those were the times.

OP, I think I have a socket 3 board somewhere, IDK if works though...
