Hey I got Minecraft 1.3 running on a 2001 dell demession. Intel celron 1.7 GHz and a reason 2900. It ran at like 5-10 fps. The main bottleneck wasn't rendering but it was the game logic.

For the transferring problem, you could have connected the laptop to your network (it has a port on the back) and connect to a windows file via file sharing. I also think windows 95 supports FTP which is a good way to transfer files over the network.

Zacca, I am not sure if Macs support this function, but on Windows and Linux when you are not filling the whole CD, you have the option to either leave the remaining space available for future files (so you can add, but not remove files to it) or tell the disk to ignore the remaining space, making it none-writable. This option can save you quite a few disks if you are transferring small files.

Bro tried connecting a host to another host.. Cable User Error XD sorry man Also you needed the drivers for the GPU in the laptop. It probably doesn't even have proper OpenGL support at all if the driver was already installed from the previous user(s), which is why the file was missing... because it should be. That's why it took so long to find the file that worked, because you had to find the only one that came inside that driver. I actually love how you, not knowing what you're doing whatsoever, somehow got this to work and is running a channel from it. Absolutely incredible. Unless you actually really do know all of this crap and it's an act......

I use to download abandonware and transfer the files to my classic 90s Mac. I'd have to burn the files onto a CD, the iMac G3 was able to read the files and from there I'd transfer the files to a Zip Drive and from the Zip Drive my classic 90s Mac could read the files. You can't just transfer from a modern computer to a classic computer, you have to have an in-between computer that can read the data and write the data for an older computer to read, if that makes sense.

The best way to transfer files at the time those things were used alongside more modern hardware, was by using a PCMCIA card that could interface with an external 10mbps card, the kind so old it had an ethernet port and a coax BNC connector. This kind of setup wasn't that rare in late 90's.

First the Pentium processor in that laptop was the first of its kind to have enough power to handle a mp3 file without doing much else. Second I feel like you’d get better performance than this laptop if you tried on a windows 98 computer preferably with a decent graphics chip. The advancements in computing between 1996 and 1998 is a rather huge one that hasn’t been really seen since, as far as raw performance and some standards are concerned. Additionally you’d even have usb to work with.
