Summary
Taken from [1]
This computer was my main machine for a long time. I acquired it in 1996 on sale at Radio Shack. IBM had recently discontinued the series, and it came stock with 8MB RAM, a 1GB hard drive, and 0K CPU cache. Also a 133MHz Pentium processor. I had been u sing a 90MHz homebuilt Pentium machine with 256K cache. I learned very quickly that cache RAM can make all the difference in performance, and the P90 was faster. Unfortunately, I never got around to upgrading the cache RAM in this box, and I seriously doubt the memory is available anymore. At some point, for some long-since forgotten reason, the original CPU was replaced with a Pentium 233, which the BIOS recognizes as a Pentium 166.
