Some day I will get back to AMD I hope - but not on the first gen Bulldozer at least

I recognise a lot of those CPU's in my history, I've actually got a retro P200 build era built up and working (I had slower, dont worry ) with just DOS 6/5 working on it ... I could have retro went a PC with a DX2 66 CPU, but looking back I've got best chance of this retro idea working with a P200, its got 32 MB of ram that was absolutely massive at the time and last time I fired it up it worked.

I'll dig it out again and if their is any interest I'll do a thread about old retro PC flight sim.

I hang on to almost all my old gear, hear is a pic of my current HOTAS collection ... I've given away my Saitek X-52 pro, but in the background you will see my old Thrustmaster F22 pro and TQS for DOS purposes I hope to get working again one day
