I wanted to build it myself as I was convinced it was cheaper this way.
#Medal of honor pc build upgrade#
I started researching an upgrade through adverts in magazines and worked out my perfect PC. Anyway, the machine got a CD drive and Adlib-compatible sound upgrade before its limitations became unbearable. This is probably the one game that pressed me to go for an upgrade, after I saw it running on my mate's DX2-66. Of course I ran Doom, but only in a postage stamp.

Our original PC was purchased in 1993 or something - An Ambra 386SX-25 with 2MB RAM, 40MB HD and SVGA monitor (640x480) which was fine for Windows 3.1 and DOS but was already out of date when we bought it and, very soon, the latest games would not run on my humble machine. It was good enough though 😎 Reply 1 of 42, by cj_reha 😠 I eventually did get a VGA card and monitor, but DOOM didn't run that great on a 386/25Mhz SX haha. Imagine being pissed you couldn't run DOOM because you had no VGA card. Later on that year I experimented with stuff like doublespace on a newer drive (I think it was a 30MB Seagate) and I went crazy thinking I had doubled or tripled the size of my drive, but reality soon shattered that dream as well.Įventually I moved on from it though, one day my uncle brought over some parts for me to build a 386 with (no VGA card tho.what an asshole).

I never did figure out what speed the CPU ran at, but I think the system had 1MB of RAM. I mean the drive was HUGE after all right?

It had a huge hard drive that took up two 5.25" bays and back before I knew how to read bytes and stuff or set DOS to format them nicely, I thought I had a 1GB hard drive. But it felt great putting it together and flipping the switch to see it work. I think the graphics adapter was a Hercules (I know I had one at some point, at least a monochrome one). I sat there for a long time tinkering with stuff, messing with ribbon cables and connector and controller boards, figuring out what I needed to use. I got a monitor out of this as well (color!).

At this point I had no idea what I was doing, they were just puzzle pieces to work with, and I don't think they all worked as stand alone units I remember having to cannibalize different machines for parts to make one working PC. They let me pick what I wanted from the junk pile so I took home 3 beastly behemoths ( I love me some XT/AT cases), they were all 286 machines. My school had got a bunch of computers donated or something like that and they had some crappy ones left over I guess (we had much better stuff like 486 and Pentium class machines, and a couple Apple ][ computers with some games).
