- I am currently constructing a computer system for personal usage, and being
- a poor college type (almost redundant, repetitiive, I realise :) I am
- leaning towards getting a 486sx motherboard due to low cost in lieu of just
- a fast 386. I am interested in doing computational linguistics work at
- a graduate level in a couple years, but don't forsee a pressing need for
- the FPU at the moment (I can always get an overdrive proc. when the prices
- drop if I want to upgrade that system in the future, but by then, a more
- advanced computer may be another consideration) I am highly interested in
- OS/2 2.0 and have followed its rn groups quite often.
-
- My question is as the subject line says.. has anyone had experience working
- with OS/2 on a 486sx 20 or 25? What have your experiences been like?
- How is performance with a relatively fast hd and hpfs?
-
- Any input you can give would be greatly appreciated
-
- cheers
