Lifthrasil: The XT was from the 286 generation btw. I believe (there were some nice games on it though). But I don't think the even older 8086 (86 for short) had any graphics support to speak of and so had hardly any games beyond text adventures. It basically was only an desktop-size pocket calculator. :-)
The initial issue had indeed a monochrome, text only, display. But most models featured an 8086/8088 CPU and a graphic adapter such as Hercules ( monochrome graphic adapter ) , CGA (4 colours) , EGA (1984, 16 colours) and even MCGA (1987,256 colours). The IBM PS2 mk30 for instance had either a 8086 or a 80826 and a MCGA adapter

Lifthrasil: Ah yes. And before that the times of the good old 640k base memory. The 'joys' of fiddling around with highmem, EMS and XMS under DOS. Those were the times when (getting) games (to run) was still challenging. :-)

I guess you're refering to a customized (barebone based ) laptop. There isn't much we can do with the reference in question as it refers to the item reference number in the seller's system. Is the barebone a MSI 16F3 ? If so, the RAm in question is probably clocked at 1600Mhz, but with a higher latency or with cheaper memory modules. The difference in performance is probably minimal . Even if it was 1333 Mhz memory module, that would mean much in terms of gameplay ( although in benchmarks you'd notice a difference )

tinyE: Why is this thread low rated? Am I missing something? Is "is this ram still good" slang for "Hitler was right"? Seriously people, derep me to hell for no reason, I don't give flying fart, but do you have to be such assholes to everyone else in here!?
Can't you see he is not giving away free games nor saying stuff about steam? He must be downrep! [/sarcasm]

s23021536: I remember I immediately tried to see whether Testdrive worked any better and took the Lamborgini for a spin.

It did. Notable titles were: Lode Runner, Bushido, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest and a whole plethora of arcade game ripoffs. :)

My family's first PC aside from a Vic 20, was an IBM compatible 8088, that ran all of those games. Only down side was the monochrome monitor. :(
