What about the shablamm board. 133mhz Mips processor, 32 megabytes of
ram, and comes with WindowsNT for $3495. You could get an old used 486
for $500 and put the board in. So for about $3995, you can have a faster
setup with more memory. If you got a p90 with 32 megs, it would probably
cost you about the same, and you'd still have to buy WindowsNT3.5,
because most of the systems come with WFWG3.11. Add $200. And it wouldn't
run as fast. It seems like the best affordable price per mips option, if
your game is speed. Just an alternative to consider that I haven't heard
mentioned on the list.
