When did pentium become the required cpu?
At about 1995 or so. When my kids were younger an old P90 (Intel Mobo)
sufficed running Win3.1 for all their edutainment needs, but as they got
older and their tastes more refined it became less and less satisfactory.
In about 1995 I picked up a game/utility that was just too much for that
processor given the inefficiencies of Windows. [...] my 9 yr old [...]
Well, wait some more years - my 20 year old is still ok with her K5-100.
