My very first CPU, so many good memories. What's interesting, paired with 64MB of Ram and Voodoo 2 did good enough till late 2001.

Played Lucasarts adventure games, the first Command & Conquer, Need for speed 2/3 and even UT99 once overclocked to 262 with a Voodoo banshee. Tons of memories on this system

honestly i was stuck with a pentium 120mhz for so many years and the number of “minimum specifications” that started at 166mhz was such that i absolutely lusted after this cpu!

My first computer had a Pentium 75. I wanted a Pentium with MMX so bad. But by the time I saved up enough, the Pentium II was out. Things moved so crazy fast back then. I remember getting a Pentium II 266 and then later that year my friend got a Pentium II 350 on the 100MHz bus and I was jealous, haha. Then the Pentium III 500 was the new hotness about a year later along with AMD coming out of nowhere with Athlon. It was so exciting back then watching technology take such huge leaps. Such a great time to be getting into computers and so many fond memories of that era's hardware. I will forever be sad 3Dfx didn't make it.

I had one of these but it was the 200 mhz version. It ran Windows 2000 much better than I anticipated. I always loved the look of them.

P200 MMX was when my circle of friends and I built our own machines. I remember that era well. I was able to run Quake II, Unreal 1 and Dark Forces 2 on that machine.

This was the first CPU I bought entirely on my own as a teenager. I paired it with 32MB of memory (now 32GB is common, just wow) and a Voodoo 6MB card. It was also my first Windows 95 machine. It was fantastic.

February 1997. Paired with the S3 Trio 64 V+. The following year I added a PowerVR Apocalypse 3dx (4MB VRAM) which made it last a bit longer, until 1999, when I got a Pentium III 500 and a Savage 4 with 32MB VRAM. I always went for the low to mid range stuff but it was more than enough for that time. Windows 95 CD - Edie Brickell - Good Times.

My Cousin had one in 1996, we played a ton of Games on it: Command & Conguer 1&2, Duke 3D, Outlaws, Jedi Knight, Quake 2, Kingpin, Unreal, Fighting Force, Subculture, Tomb Raider 1&2, Fallout 1&2, Jagged Alliance 2 and much more, all on 64 MB and an Matrox Mystique; great Times :)

P166MMX was a great chip in its day too, they sold a lot of those! Combined with a 3DFX card it made a PC that was competitive in gaming for a couple of years which was pretty long back then :)

Like! My first ever PC back in early 1998 had a P166 MMX. With it I played for the first time Quake 2, Unreal and other great games of that period (in 320x240 of course). I always dreamed of upgrading it with a Voodoo Banshee but unfortunately when I had the money to do so I also changed the CPU to a faster k6-2 400 and never got to see my P166 MMX running with hardware acceleration.

What a coincidence, I was afraid I had broken my MMX 166 when the voltage regulator exploded, but after some soldering it is perfectly fine. You might want to give Lands of Lore 2 or 3 a try, those games play well enough on this CPU with a Voodoo 3 PCI. Thanks for the video ! 👍

I started with a Pentium 200MMX back in the day when these where almost new. It was a beast back then 😂. Thank you for these Videos, I really enjoy watching them!

While I didnt have a computer at home until well into the Pentium 3 and AMD Athlon era, the Pentium mmx was kind of the first era of hardware where everything is the age actually ran smooth and looked really good, even on much faster CRT's than the monitors of the current age. I want to say this era of performance was the first glimpse at emulating consoles I cared about.

All agreed, one of the reasons my primary dos machine has exactly a p166 mmx. It's been so utterly flexible with setmul. Still having enough horsepower to run late dos games. A Voodoo card rounds it all out for a great Win95 gaming time too. Great video!

Pentium 133 mmx was our first real family PC. We upgraded it from 16mb to 48mb of RAM and Windows 98. It never had "3d accelerated graphics" but it was the first PC I played Quake on and I am still playing Quake games to this day. I remember buying Quake 2 and only being able to run it at 513x384 software mode but it still instantly became my favourite game. I spent a ton of time with the original Roller Coaster Tycoon, as well. And lots of demo discs from PC Gamer and whatnot.

My first CPU from back in the day. What an incredible boost when I upgraded to PII 400 :)

Back in the day I went from a 486 DX2 66 to the Pentium MMX 166. The difference was HUGE! All of a sudden I could play this new crop of 3d games that were way too slow for my old 486. And some of the games I already had (like Fifa 96, Screamer, Hi-Octane, Mechwarrior 2, and others) were running much better. Around the same time, some PS1 games were made available on PC and I remember being super hyped about stuff like Tomb Raider, Wipeout, and Destruction Derby. Those are all great titles, but my big game for this system was the first Fallout. Such great memories of that old computer and lots of love for the Fallout franchise too!

My FIRST Windows PC ever! Came from a Commodore Amiga. Built a 166mhz system. Then not too long later upgraded to 166mhz MMX Then finally 233mhz MMX! 233 was REALLY NICE.

Never had the chance to live this PC era (started with a socket 754 athlon xp with win98), and I recently restored a baby AT with a 166 mmx, 32mb edo ram, cirrus logic video, avance logic als100 sound, and win95. Without you I could have not been capable of this operation, thank you so much for all your support!

Perfect timing for me to watch in my lunch break, thanks Phil!

The mobile Pentium 133 MMX is very difficult to obtain, but I am glad you included it in the spreadsheet

Great video Phil, I am in the middle of working on a 166mmx digital research desktop I found with monitor at a thrift shop for $25 CDN a few months ago. While I have 486 project on the go as well as a 200mmx dell tower I am trying to make similar to my old pc I had back in the day, the Pentium 166mhz MMX was something I wanted to try and run DOS on. Helpful video !

I jumped over the Pentium era completely. I started with a used 386 with a 486 overdrive chip, moved up to a later 486 board with a Cyrix "586" or something, then leaped over into an AMD K6-2. I then developed an appreciation for the stability and compatibility of the Pentium II with the 440BX chipset, and that's my preferential target for a retro PC when I finally get the space, time to dig through half-functioning parts, and finances to finish it.

Due to your multiple recommendations of this processor I, of course, have it (233mhz version). The 233Mhz one is the model to get I think, as the multiplier is unlocked. So you can set it to be any of the lower models

i really appreciate this channel thank you for making this stuff for us.

Our first family computer was the MMX 200 with windows 95! I was just blown away. It came with a cd rom and a generic sound card. Also came with an encyclopedia and a demo of a few games, including Pandemonium. It was great at running anything that was a few years older and non demanding current gen games. Tho by that time there was already pentium 2 at 266mhz.

@7:25 - I believe that's a 32 MEGAbyte, not 32 GIGAbyte SDRAM module. Really nice looking game, Epic. Never heard of it before.

Ah this is music to my ears, I have access to a Pentium MMX 166, so knowing now there's a utility that can help hit the sweet spot for certain DOS games is exactly what I needed to hear to get it out of storage!

Another legendary video from legendary Phil. Looks like I've been wise to put away a handful or two of 166mmx machines these last few years

My first PC had a Pentium Pro 200 MMX in 1997

Interesting to see this video. I have a stack of them for just this reason. Perfect DOS machines!

Still have my First PC Gateway P5 133 so many good times...Thanks for the Info and the Video

I totally agree. The 166MHz Intel Pentium MMX is balanced in many respects. It has great processing power for late DOS era games and most early 3D Games using DirectDraw (software rendering) or the 3dfx Glide API/OpenGL. It is an inexpensive CPU and not that much sought after, compared with a 200MHz offer while it has the same powerful 66MHz bus and cache size. I think that the generous L2 Cache and the 66MHz bus are the major causes for its performance compared with the older Pentium architecture. Later in the production cycle, the higher clocked Pentium MMX processors did not have much improved performance as the architecture shown its limitations. Before the 166Mhz Pentium MMX you would have CPUs that had bus sizes all over the place, ending up with a poor performer such as a Pentium 120Mhz (2x60Mhz bus) and a sudden boost on the Pentium 133MHz (2x66MHz bus) out of nowhere. Of course, the CPU was not to blame, it was due to Socket 7 motherboards that only late in the product manufacturing cycle ended up with a lot more CPU frequency multipliers and bus speed. Of course Cyrix was also part of the reason for this surge in interest in the aging Socket 7 platform, as were the popular AMD K6 and K6/2 processors. In the end, the 166MHz Pentium MMX was and still is a great performer while being not that demanding on cooling and highly stable. You may wonder why I did not mention the MMX extension as a major benefit. First of all, there were few games/apps that initially used it, and when there were more, a Pentium MMX processor, even at 200MHz, was not enough for them. The MMX extensions were actually called Matrix Mathematics Extensions not Multi-Media Extensions, but since they were used in multimedia apps, games being highly popular, it was an example of successful marketing of Intel.

My first PC ~1997 is a Sony VAIO with this CPU. I am very happy with it and spent countless hours playing the 1st Diablo game. Those were the days.

Ahhhhh Pentium 1 MMX love 🤩🤩

Another awesome video. Looking forward to see more retro parts.

My first real PC back in the day was a P1/166. I approve. A very hearty chip for what it is.

My first system was a 233mmx, 32megs of ram and a Awe64 bundle with Wihpslah, capitan claw, moto racer, actua soccer, time commando and twinsen odyssey! Amazing Days! This pc come with pc chips vx-pro II (via chipset) so i was able to put an k6-2 in 83mhz bus and dimm memory, so many good memories😊

I went all the way for the 233MHz in my recent MMX build. They're cheap enough (at least in the US) and since you can lower the multiplier anyway, figured it'd be nice to have some headroom for more Windows games.

My Pentium build is probably my favorite one currently. It works well with DOS games, it runs Windows games and with a Voodoo 1 I can play all my favorite early 3D games. A Trio64V 2 MB or better a 4 MB ViRGE and you also have great video (the regular Trio64 unfortunately missess the video features) and hi color graphics in high resolution (high as in matching my 17” monitor). And ISA slots for sound on top of that.

I literally just got an entire Fujitsu PC with that exact CPU from an old lady. Unfortunately, i am not skilled enough to recap the motherboard/PSU and my knowledge doesn’t go earlier than maybe 2004, so i gave it to a friend of mine who can renovate it and have it for his collection of retro PC

Slow and steady wins the race!

I love what you serve 2d/3d transition period is always a cherry on cake

Pentium MMX 166 was my first PC class computer, so i have great nostalgia :)

Great video as always. I had one of those sitting in my attic for years. Sadly i have a board with no ps2 outs. Managed to get a ps2 to at adapter but need to find a ps2 to 4 pin for the mouse. would be easier to just get a newer mobo i guess lol. Had a feeling these old parts will one day come in handy around 15 years ago. Also had a voodoo 3 3500 just laying there haha. Looking forward for the next video.

I remember on my super socket 7 board PC, that I still do own, there was a program that opened up all of your BIOS settings that the manufacturer of the board kept turned off and hidden from view. It did make a pretty big performance boost to your PC depending on which settings you used. I remembering seeing it open up my BIOS settings for the first time that I never knew were even there and I couldn't believe how many were actually hidden by the manufacturer! It was super fun to play around with. I know that I have it saved somewhere but for the life of me I just cannot remember where. I actually can't find it on the machine itself anymore! I remember that it was mostly free to use, but if you donated some cash to the creator he would open up even more features for you! I did use that machine quite a lot back in the day. Now I am feeling nostalgic for it and maybe I will try to get it set up again soon! It does have a AMD K6-2 500mHz CPU and an AGP slot with what I think has an ATI 9200SE in it. Not the best GPU at the time, but it was all that I could afford and does run games decently. I did manage to "squeeze out" just barely playing Morrowind at the time. Good times back then! 👍👍

I had that cpu in a socket 7 system back in 1998 before updating to a super fast amd k6 2 300, it was ok paired with a voodoo 1 but with the k6 2 everything was butter smooth

Wow yes my first new PC had this with 16MB RAM - upgraded to 233MMX and 32MB RAM very soon after. Awesome days.

I have an HP Vectra XA/5 133, and whilst I was inside the unit removing the BIOS password I set it to run at 166MHz and it runs absolutely perfectly. It’s even got 80MB RAM now which is plenty! Runs windows 95/98 nicely and does DOS really well. It even came with a Sound Blaster 16 PnP ^^

Happy Friday Phil!

Thanks Phil

My first PC after a C64 had a Pentium 133. I always wanted an MMX machine but my parents could not afford it. Things were changing super fast back then. Some years later I jumped over to a Duron system. Now in my retro PC I have a Pentium II 333, which works fine for both DOS and Win98 games.

I like old processor benchmarks

This takes me back, I can still remember the moment that the guy who ran our local netcafe got his 166 MMX, and we were all very jealous! I ended up with a cyrix PR200, and my mum had a p133.

Hello Phil, I can't believe the time I "lost" searching for the perfect parts to recreate the 386DX I had and a 486 DX 2 66 with VLB that I always wanted but slipped between my fingers and a Pentium MMX (that I already had) was everything I needed. BTW Phil are your test benches available somewhere with an affiliate link, when the GPU mining craze I tried to get one but the prizes went full into insane mode. Thanks for all your videos I'm really enjoying your new style, combining hardware setup with a mini game review by the yone of your voice you seems to be enjoying it too.

I love the Pentium 166 MMX. Wrote my diploma thesis about it. The long latency of the EMMS (Empty MMX State) instruction pretty much killed the benefits of the new instructions but the larger L1 caches gave a small speed uplift over the non-MMX variants.

A lot of good points in this video! Love this kind of reviews. I still think this alternative offers way more fine tuning options for DOS than I would ever need in practice. A super socket 7 with a K6 plus version is often more than good enough and can do a bit more Windows9x stuff if you want it too. And I think you can put a Pentium MMX in the same motherboard in case you want try them. But I understand those boards are not that easy to find compared to a normal socket 7 mobo...

Awesome cpu. One of my first high end cpu at the time. Had it paired with ati gpu . Noiceeeee

love it!

Still enjoying my Pentium MMX 233 "time machine" system; slows down excellently, all the way down to 8.5 in 3DBench at 50MHz FSB! And when not slowed down I keep it comfortably "overclocked" at 75MHz FSB for ~266MHz! With a Voodoo 1 and S3 Virge DX, it plays GLQuake buttery smooth! Even Unreal is fairly playable. Though I'd use my Slot 1 system for that :P Interestingly, I was curious to see if I could get a lower score in 3D benchmark than 8.5, and I found myself a Tseng ET3000 ISA graphics card after hearing those were really slow. And yeah, it seemed to go way slower, down to 7.5! That wasn't the end of the batch file you made though, and strangely, for the last two tests before disabling the L1 cache...the score jumped back up to 86.9, then down again to 76.2 (the registers all disabled)! I can only presume that I managed to get it to run so slow that 3DBench underflowed or something. Not sure what games would need to be quite that slow before they need an actual 8088/8086, but it's interesting!

I have a Pentium 200 MMX in my DOS PC where I installed some switches to allow me to clock it from 166 to 266mhz. (by over clocking the bus) It's just so versatile where 166 with caches disabled, it is nice and slow as Phil points out.

These are great CPUs for gaming on. I was sold on it after seeing your older video, and was lucky to find one rather cheaply (a few years ago). For even older games I use a AMD 386 Sx40. That's still too fast for my favorite XT and 286 era games but I can use AT-slow to reduce the PC speed to the correct speed to play things like Death Track, Spacewars and Sopwith. And it's period correct since it was available back when these games were being re-released on CD for 386 and 486 computers.

i remember getting 10-15 pcs for free with p1 166's from my school around the year 2002 as they were upgrading to new ones with p4s, took all of them home and built myself a 3 hard drive'd pc with as much ram as could cram in it (probs 512mb or 256? dont remember lol). Built probs 6-7 as good as i could get em' with the parts i had and sold them off for round 20$CAD a piece, ah the good ol days

I had a Pentium MMX 166 running at 200 MHz. It was a great machine but only for quite a short time due to the mentioned incredibly fast development around the year 2000. The MMX 166 had replaced my IBM 6x86 P166+ but was much faster in many games due to the faster floating point unit. And it generally ran with much less issues and crashes, but that might have been due to the improving operating systems as well. After the MMX I tried an AMD K6-300, but I never was as happy with that system, I think the main issue has been the VIA chipset. That's why it always hurts my stomach when you're dealing with VIA chipsets in your videos - bad memories of crashes to desktop and blue screens come back into my mind ;-) Then I went back to intel (Celeron 300A @450MHz, ran games like a dream, but again not for that long...), but that's another story ;-)

Interesting video and interesting mobo, I have to look for it.

My friend had 166 MMX on his old PC someone from his family gifted him. We were programming simple things on it under Windows. We even played Half-Life 1 in software on it!

My first computer was a Pentium MMX 200 with 32MB of RAM. I did lots of stuff; I've played many emulators and was capable of playing many games - and use Windows 98. I have good memories. I think that most of the motherboards from this time are busted in some way or are hard to find, so I found a sweet spot on the Pentium III. I was able to finally get a Tualatin CPU recently and I am very happy. I never was into very old DOS games and to me, games like space quest or wing commander don't matter. I do agree that the Pentium MMX can be an excellent entry platform for someone that is into early DOS games. Thanks for the video Phil!

Got to say I preferred that PPGA packaging over the CPGA because it looked cooler which is kind of ironic as the CPGA had more surface area for cooling. You are making me want to dig out my Intel TC430HX with P200 MMX PPGA again Phil!

I remember playing tomb raider on my friends PC with a 100mhz cpu, and that ran nicely in dos 🙂

Thank you so much for another amazing video Phil! Did you try Terminal Velocity? I think that may be another great choice to test this kind of machines. Cheers from Argentina!

Funny you picked Epic as testing game, as this was one of my favorite games in the past with a 486DX33. We used to have one of those Colani Desktop PCs and upgraded it twice. I made myself a retro project out of it and rebuild two of them already (486DX33, Tseng ET4000, Soundblaster Pro 2 + Pentium 90, Spea V7 Mirage, Pro Audio Spectrum), for the third I already have the hardware (Pentium 200MMX, Matrox Mystique, AWE64 Gold) but it is really hard to find another Colani Desktop nowadays. As a note, I also rebuild your ultimate Win98 PC as another fun project. Sourcing the hardware for an obtainable price took some months, especially for the mainboard, but now its one of my most used Retro PCs. Love your channel Phil, many thanks for your fountain of Retro PC enthusiasm.

Al leer los comentarios me he dado cuenta que la Pentium 166 MMX es la primera PC para muchos, que recuerdos!. En estos momentos estoy tratando de restaurar mi primer PC y con tecnología de ahora gracias a los vídeos de PhilsComputerLab, en lo único que tengo problemas en poner una tarjeta gráfica ATI Rage XL 8MB que no me funciona.

Combine that setup with a voodoo 1 card to really maximise what you can enjoy with quake etc. Helps to stretch the last bits of performance from the 166 mmx.

what surprised me is how similar the gigabyte board looks to my asus p2b (where i had a p200 mmx running on) i i first thought, yup i had that board too :)

100 percent agree 👍

Pentium MMX 166 was my first PC I actually owned, had windows 98 SE on it, and I played so many classic games on it.

Thanks for all yer retro work!! I'm looking for a pentium mmx 133 industrial board for running a bbs full time - appreciate all yer knowledge. (And website!)

I still have that one in my cpu collection. Even worked without problems at 233 Mhz. So great cpu. But years ago I had only Pentium 133 but I liked that one a lot.

This is brilliant and just in time. I recently acquired an ATX Socket 7 mainboard and coincidentally the seller included a Pentium 166 MMX processor with it. Finding AT cases has proven very challenging so I've been on a quest to build up a system in an ATX case. (Planning to use a black case which reminds me of your "Sleeper Retro PC series".) Those Startech Socket 7 coolers are still available though they can be a little pricey IMHO at ~$20 US shipped. I ended up making a franken-cioler with a Socket 370 heat block and some Socket 7 retaining clips before finding a decent deal on the Startech cooler. All in all, this is a wonderful tour through this platform and an inspiration to finish assembling my own version of this. I'm anxious to finally use my Orpheus sound card in there as well. Thank you for putting this together Phil!

I've a pair of P233MMX boards, both ASUS TX97s (one with just SDRAM, the other with both 72-pin and SDRAM). I bought them off a guy who collected a bunch of scrap machines from some local schools for $20 and a case of beer two years ago (along with some other nice stuff, like a couple 462s and Slot 1s). They're nice boards, and pretty solid, both in excellent condition for their age. Only have one of them set up at the moment, also using a Gotek, but with a CF card instead of SSD. They have on-board Creative Vibra sound, which seems to provide decent SB16 compatibility, but I picked up an ESS1869F to go in it instead. I ran a P233MMX with an AWE64 Gold from 1997 to 2001, first with a crap ATI card, then with a PCI Voodoo3 2000, so the P233MMX has a special place for me. Anyway, thanks for the video Phil. Love your content as always.

Thanks for your work. As i remember you have the same video that describes Pentium MMX. As for me, it would be much more interesting to see what Pentium 200 can do, because a lot of CPUs have free multiplier and there are lot of boards that allows you to switch native clock speed from 75 to 200. Also i tried to told you about another cache control utility that allows you to switch between WT and WB modes on P6+ CPUs. SetMUL can't do the same, as for now. It would be interesting to see comparison between Pentium Pro and MMX with all cache and clock options you could set. I even sent you email about it, but with no luck.

Finally had a chance to try this. I set a Pentium MMX 233 as 133MHz (2x66Mhz), got 12.1 on the slowest set (all caches off on BIOS as well). That's between a 386-25 and a 386-33. Wing Commander 1 runs nicely on this speed. I knew Setmul, you just made your point on the convenience and easiness of use with the 136in1 package. Really nice trick to have around for those really old games. My PC history started with a 486DX33 and I did play Wing Commander on it, never knew it was faster than intended. As things were moving fast during those years ( I would sell my current machine and build a new one once-twice a year), I never really went back and replayed such games. As I heard once back at school, there is things correctly or poorly designed. We have software from that time that is not speed sensitive - and some that are. Today we can tell who did right vs wrong. Thanks Phil / cheers from Brazil

I see those startech coolers on ebay all the time, was wondering how good they actually are.

I agree, 166MMX is great CPU for early 95 and late DOS era. I have Tulip desktop which I specifically built for this era. I have Orpheus 2 for sound, Voodoo 1 for that 3D accelerated goodness and ATi Mach64 Pro Turbo (onboard AT24 had compatibility issues, so decided to go with this card). I upgraded the RAM to 64MB, it has a TX chipset which means that it is practically the maximum, but of course completely overkill already. It has built in USB and AMD PCNet adapter, so the three expansion slots available were enough for my needs. Case has a nice small footprint, it is clean and in beautiful condition. For OS, I went with 98lite Micro with 98SE as a base OS. I think it is simply the best option for Pentiums ans slow PIIs, as it gives all the benefits of 98SE pretty much with 95 performance. I built a start-up menu with different DOS options and booting to Win, installed 4DOS and other of typical stuff I use with my other DOS systems too.

I remember my Compaq Armada 1585DMT lappy with its P150 MMX!

Great video as always Phil. Please could you possibly do a video on how to ftp to a Windows 95 PC from a modern computer. Thank you.

I have three laptops with pentium MMX 166, one with w95, the other two w98, and I still occasionally use them, but not for gaming, but for some programs that only run on Dos or w9.x. I'm always amazed how quick it is

My first love the 166mmx! One of the Dark Sun dos games had a time sensitive stage with a volcano eruption which became impossible later without slowing newer cpu clocks.

I have a Pentium MMX mobile 200 Socket 7 CPU. 2.45V stock voltage, same core as the Desktop version with 2.8V, but with a better selected core and it works with all multipliers from 2x until 3.5x. This is my best MMX CPU in the collection, because it runs fine with (also 8h Prime stable tested) 300MHz (100x3) at the stock Desktop voltage of 2.8V. I know, useless for a todays retro build, and yes, I use a K6-III+ SS7 build. There is also a 250nm Tillamook MMX 266 CPU out, would be nice for a later video, if you have one in your collection?

Man, I have 4 of these! And two of that very same motherboard!

This is why I love my Omnibook 800ct which has this P4 166 and in a small form factor I can keep it next to my modern pc without a bulky CRT

The 166mhz CPU pared with 16mbs of ram for Tiberian Sun worked great! So many happy memories...All the new technology crap just not feeling it, like it was back in the dos days.

i still have my celeron300 unlocked by using some tape in one pin and overclocked @450 .. first king of overclocking i think

I love old 3-D! When it's good it's good (Stunt Car Racer) and when it's bad it's bad! (Wings, even though I love it).

A couple of weeks ago I got my hands on a Pentium 233 MMX. I plan to use it in an Acorp 5TX29 board, with a Tseng ET6000 videocard. Can't wait to put it together.

I had a 200mHz MMX back in the day running OS/2 Warp 3.

YEAAHHH! Now we're talking!

I should go through my parents garage and see if they kept the rackmount server I rescued from e-waste a number of yeas ago. It's a socket 7 PICMG SBC machine with some kind of Pentium MMX processor. I always wanted to build a new case for it and turn it into a super compact desktop PC.

Plenty of laptops from 1997 to 1998 had this processor as standard as well, such as the Toshiba satellite pro 460CDT :)
