Code 43: Urban Warfare

[Damien]

I got an old IBM PC from work, made back in '95 but has been in a box for most of the time so it looks brand new.

It's a Pentium 133MHz with 32 MB Ram, originally with a 1.2GB Hdd but I've replaced it with a 10GB one (just because it's more quiet), and added a LAN card and ESS 1688 audiodrive which is Sound Blaster / SB Pro compatible.

The OS is MS-Dos 6.22 with Northon commander and QEMM memory manager for those games with special memory needs. Yes, it's a dedicated classic gaming PC and the best part is using a hardware FM Chip to play midi music instead of the crappy General Midi emulation.

It works great. Pictures will come later.

I see you have made the correct choices when it comes to processing and video for your new setup.
