It's sad that this is literally the equivalent of a modern Snapdragon smartphone, with the exception of the memory.
[QUOTE=Justice;24939522]Think that's old? My father still has his old NEC MultiSpeed somewhere in storage. It still works, but I'm fairly sure we're missing the floppies it needs.

That actually does sound like a total beast for a 12 year old laptop. I have a desktop from 9 years ago with almost the same specs, and that computer could run a bunch of games like red alert 2 and return to castle wolfenstein.
Going to post pictures of the whole process on installing Windows 98.
Holy shit that laptop is older than half the people in this thread.
Install Half Life 1 on it, post FPS results.

Time for installing Windows 98! [img]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5205/p1000046d.jpg[/img]
That's a Thinkpad T23, right? My sister's got one. Nice little internet browser, I guess.
1.0 GHz CPU? 256 MB RAM? LAPTOP? I find it hard to believe that it's from 1998.

[QUOTE=CounterTunes;24961051]Did the computer have windows 95 on it first time you found it?[/QUOTE] Actually no, It was installed with Windows XP.

I still have my old Dell Latitude CPi A lying around with a 360MHz Pentium II and 128MB RAM. All original hardware 'part from the battery still works fine after probably 15 years.
Shall I post a video of it running half-life or just the fps?
[QUOTE=tisseman890;24961492]Shall I post a video of it running half-life or just the fps?[/QUOTE] Post a video of it running Crysis and I'll be impressed.
It runs half-life perfectly! :buddy:
[QUOTE=tisseman890;24961885]It runs half-life perfectly! :buddy:[/QUOTE] how much fps?
