386 Turbo Dos and Windows 3.1 PC

You skipped the 286?  386 was pretty good but not as good as the 486 though!

I believe my parents 286 and 386 were just DOS.  I don't think we got Windows till past 486 days.


lol, yep skiped the 486. My friend had one, but back then tech moved slow enough that you could get away with older stuff longer. Once 3D Graphics cards became the norm it started to get harder to hold onto your PC while the latest games required more and more powerfull tech. It just keeps getting worse too. That's why I like consoles so much, for 5-10 years I don't have to deal with any upgrades. I usualy upgrade my PC in the middle of a console generation, that way I'm always able to play the latest games. My PC gets old while my consoles are up to date and then my PC is up to date while my consoles are showing age.
