Mine was something like that too I don't think it was 66 it had a turbo button though, I used it for games.
People think Intel's new turbo technology is fantastic we had it on the 486 PCs the only thing is it wasn't automatic but manual, I had 4MB of ram not enough to run win 95 that needed 16, 8 min or something like that.

8 minimum yes. Not to sure how much I had in mine but it wasn't a lot either. The turbo button was cool but after awhile it was more problems then good. It had a tendancy to burn out on some boards.

Why does the big time people have to made and make so many version of Windows?

I really don't understand why. Why can't they wait and released one version at the time then version a, b so on?

Versions following the original release were primarily made for bug and security fixes. Then, as time rolled on you would have to upgrade to keep up with the changing times. They do release to many versions though that's for sure.

I never thought of that. Still you have a point about bugs and securitys  in Windows.


Umm, Well, at less they are making sure to keep their user in good. Still they have the releases to close to together you know.


I lost court on the windows while back.


I do think they should cut back on releases on windows some....

I may have missed a few dos and win 3. xx versions and a few others so feel free to update this post. Neptune was never released but if you search for it it is a discontinued o/s from MS that can be played around with. I left out win NT and server editions but they are in there as well somewhere, lol
