My problem is that I had picked up this 486 with intentions of oc'ing it (it's an ibm ps/1) but the os that was on it whixg was windows 95 had a problem so I had to format the drive and so now I dont have any operating systems other that win 95, but it is an upgrade version so I need dos or anything before win 95, so I was wondering If any of you can maby send me through the e-mail or mail ill pay for postage an old os like dos the operating system not a boot up disk) win 3.x or win 95 I would greatly appreciate it.
My second problem is that I need to know if a an ibm ps/1 is overclockable. I have never done it before so i was gonna do it on the ps/1, and I heard the 486 was a good overclocker. thx in advance
