So if I got like a Socket 7 Mb, K6-2 300 it will work ???
What about an AGP graphics card ????
The price of the AGP cards (and other hardware) has really come down. I
bought a refurbished Dell PII 300 and it came with an STB Veleocity 128 AGP
card with 4 MB of memory. I think the card was going for $150.00 about a
year ago. Now you can pick up a simmilar 4MB card for under $50.00. I
have seen ads for 32MB AGP video cards, aimed at the CAD/CAM market.
And what of X-windows emmulators ??? I want to put NIC cards in my machines
and let them talk to each other. I priced Xceed by Hummingbird Software
(or something like that) and they wanted $500.00 for the X-windows
emmulator.
Also in a trade journal I saw metion of a Windows Emmulator I think that
was called wine. It let you run windows under different flavors of Linux,
Unix and BSD. Kind of like VP/IX would let you run dos under Xenix.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Dell and all the new computers we have at
work are Dell's, but I vow NEVER to buy another new computer system again,
as I look at the shell of the 486 I paid about $1800 for. I also think OS
upgrade will be FreeBSD or some flavor of Unix/Linux. I will not upgrade
to winbloze 98.
Thank you for your response.
