looking4awayout Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hello everybody, I'm known on some websites as Looking4awayout. Since two years, I've been using a Pentium III Tualatin system that I have expanded and overclocked to its maximum limits, as my main computer. Everything I do on a normal computer such as web browsing, watching Youtube videos, playing (old) games, sending and receiving e-mails, is done entirely on the Pentium III. I discovered MSFN mostly because I wanted a good web browser that would support the modern websites and encryption protocols on Windows XP, and I found them in Roytam1's New Moon SSE and Firefox 45 ESR SSE, that became two important pillars in my modern/retro computing experience that is going on since June 2017. Call me a nutjob or a masochist, but I really enjoy using this old computer for what it was supposed to do: being a computer and doing basic tasks, the same tasks that this Tualatin performs better than many later low end systems I worked on. Anyway, I'm glad to be on this forum and being part of this community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 If you look very closesly, you will find that you do not have a Pentium III, instead it is a Pentium!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looking4awayout Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks everybody! Even though it might seem strange, but the Tualatin has still enough juice to be still usable as a computer for basic tasks, especially if properly overclocked and accompanied by a fast hardware. My system is far from average, and performs very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
