doccarnby: Oh, I completely forgot about the flash games. My computer can't run flash games without them slowing to a crawl. This isn't a problem with the internet, as the main computer can run them just fine, I just don't think my computer is able to handle flash games.
By main computer u mean your other computer right?

No, my parent's computer. That's the one we all call 'The Main Computer', because it's been around the longest and is the most powerful.

I don't need a new computer, but I AM compelled to ask you.... WHY? If you can't really "afford" to splash out (as is evident by request for donations) then I can't really see the logic...

Not certain, good enough to run F.E.A.R. 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum at pretty fine levels, though.

Miaghstir: Computer:
Victor V386SX (year: 1989)

Problem:
Main battery completely dead and the machine loses CMOS settings when being shut down. I can't figure out where the CMOS battery sits, if there even should be one, and getting a new main battery isn't too easy any more.

Of course, I can use my 1994 Macintosh Performa 475 instead, that one works beautifully and even has ethernet added-in. Doesn't play DOS games though.

I would like to upgrade to a Power Mac 9600. Even a Quadra 840 would be appreciated.
Ah the Performas. I cut my teeth playing MechWarrior 2, Civ 2, WC2, and Descent/Descent 2 on my Performa 6320. I really thought it was the shizzle back then for having a built-in cable TV tuner card with RCA inputs/outputs...

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that there are DOS cards for the Performas out there that had an x86-compatible Cyrix "486" chip in them, though I don't recall if they're only compatible with the Performa 630. Regardless, I think they were PDS cards, so you may have to remove your Ethernet card for it to work...I'm likely wrong though.

And if you're really desperate for an old Mac that you'd take a "G1" PPC Mac, or even a faster '040 Mac, have you tried looking to places like Craigslist for old Sawtooth G4s or Blue and White G3s?

Ryoman and Maxman seem to be near tied in terms of pc suckiness. I have no pcs to spare but if you were to pay postage/shipping I have an old vid card(radeon 4670 with 1gb ddr2[PCI-Express x16]) I could throw in and ship to you....

I like this thread's motivations......hopefully it will lead to good things overall for all those associated with it......those making donations/those receving/etc. It's like creative recycling. And it helps people out.

Well, I do, the thing is none of them could play modern games, and the ones that are better then this one both have major stability issues. I can get pics and specs of them too tomorrow. But my craptop is my main computer, that I use everyday. If one of my better computers gets fixed or something, I'll be sure to let you know.
