the good ol days screaming along at 25mhz
25?
Had a PC with a turbo button that took it to 8? 12?
haha ya, 386DX2 8Mhz base with the flaming 25Mhz turbo
I remember playing wing commander on my 386. EMM was almost a requirement. But they got loads done with.very limited hardware (compared to now). Hopefully software and software devs can go back to prioritizing efficiency over bloat.
Next, someone should build a unusably slow but completely accurate transistor-level simulation of the 386 (as they did of the admittedly much simpler 6502) and validate this against it to ensure that it actually is 100% accurate.
Here you go:
