Ahh, the AWE32. I had one of those, too. They came with some funny tools.
I remember "Dr Sabatsio" cracked me up.
The CPU is an Am5x86 133MHz, which AMD advertised as
comparable to the
75MHz Pentium. This is fairly accurate for integer games
I forgot about that proc. Nice. That sounds like a very snappy 486 with
some nice expansion cards.
On the other hand, this machine runs a lot of finicky
older games that
don't like my PCI P75 (Bio Menace, I'm looking at yoooooooouuuu).
Interesting. I haven't run into that problem yet. However, I do play old
games, so we'll see. I don't have any 486's at the moment. The slowest x86
box I still have is a P233 HP Sojourn laptop.
