Question about a very very old PC

Postby Dave_Lethal » Mon Oct 17, 2005 6:29 pm

I have an old AST Advantage Adventure 466...I'm not sure what's on it or what's inside it as I haven't had a chance to plug it in or open it up yet. What I do know is that there is a 4x speed CD drive and a floppy drive, there are no USB ports but there is a dial-up modem and an old video card. I was wondering if there is any value to this old piece of junk that I'm not going to use...if I could possibly sell it for parts or something? I'm not sure what to do with it, and I'm reluctant to throw it away. Thanks :)

Well, I opened it up, just to get a quick laugh.

It has a 486 DX2 66 MHz processor with a whopping 8 MB of RAM. 540 MB hard disk drive with a 3.5" floppy. The chip on the processor says designed for Windows 95.

It is a worthless cause. No one would consider buying anything off of it. Even if it had a new CD-rom I doubt any one would look at it. You can buy a nice DVD-RW drive for 30 dollars on newegg.

I hate to say it but anymore if its runs under a gigaherts its almost not worth the thought of selling.
