Windows 95 98 XP DOS CUSTOM RETRO Gaming P4m 1.8 IBM THINKPAD loaded & ready

Description: ALL SET UP...................and updated to all Microsoft's updates (to the last SP3)The last IBM Thinkpad model with the P4m, memory and a New hard drive This Win 98 system flies....................MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL - ATI Radeon 7500 mobile GRAPHICS CARD for gaming This is the difference of a typical and average business laptop. Without graphics power you have a good Word typing platform,they are common and cheap- IF that's what you want to do, but for vintage games Graphics is everything................ I have cleaned and refurbished it to new like condition and its ready to play those old gem games of the golden era. ***Included and loaded for trail***full versions of Warcraft 2- classic RTS---MDK- classic 1st person shooter+ and the first Diablo classic RPG REAL TIME STRATEGY titles, RPGs, ... with backup disks....and bonus emulators ***for demo purposes only and should be removed after trying them out*** ALSO many, many bonus games SPECs** New 120gb HD (0 hours) FAST (not orig 4200 rpm) with all updates to SP3 all up to date drivers from IBM ) ....... 120gb is plenty of HD space here ( originally they came with 12 gb or mega 20gb later on, as the OS and programs were much smaller than todays) The equivalent of 2TB today-External USB HDs can be added for extra storage OR add a 2nd HD tray for internal 2nd drive ....... Dont be fooled with other offers that include original vintage hard drives 18+ yrs old .... a retro HD is very slow and ready to fail after 20+ yrs use... then what?. **1.gb ram *.....* **USB Microsoft Mouse the best corded mouse ever made**AC adapter **Battery will may HOLD charge (but depends on use) ... USE the AC adapter......... like all laptops MAX performance will be best on AC (CMOS battery has been replaced *new*)You dont need to use a big old low end machines while these classics are still around----DONT SETTLE ---***Fully compatible with all Win 95 & Win 98 SE and most DOS games I say most because some require specific sound cards and wont use digital sound. Some will run completely as intended with some tweaking and some will be fine. But be aware 98 is a DOS based operating system allowing DOS,98, 95 games The POWER, SOUND and VIDEO is here--- intel P4m 1.7Ghz............Diablo required Pentium 60Mhz (Mhz not Ghz) the last of the P4s and the most powerful to still run Win 98 with Sound Blaster compatibility mode built in ALSO keep in mind this is custom setup for RETRO gaming not to be confused with a typical Win 10 laptop for general use *****SEE THE OTHER Retro GAMING Laptops I HAVE LISTED***** Rediscover what you missed or wish you had again................................ A IMPORTANT NOTE ON RETRO GAMINGIF you are more interested in playing the very old games especially the DOS ones you might be better off choosing one of the earliermodels I have listed. Reason being some of the older games are sensitive to the higher CPU speeds early DOS and some DOS\Win 95....Pent II or III 300mhz-600mhz 64 MB RAMVideo ram 4mb The Faster Group P3 & P4... still very compatible with DOS and WindowsIntel Pentium III 750 - 1000mhz and up128-256 MB RAM and upVideo ram 16mb-32mb Newer window 98 games are well supported and the extra speed benefits later Windows 98 games. Some Older Dos games start to have problems with too much CPU speed. DOS sound is software instead of compatible Hardware......NOT IN ALL CASES .. its best to start in the closest time period of your favorite period............usually its about the right drivers which were very well supported by the bigger tech giants as IBM, Toshiba, HP, Dell etc............. I also make available a complete mirror image of the updated hard drive that can be used as a restore drive and nothing can be lost in the event of anything going wrong at a small additional cost on a seperate HD A NOTE ON OLDER OPERATING SYSTEMSWin 95 & 98 and retro gaming requires some knowledge of the older DOS based operating systems, just ask the question in Google and you will find many video. or text info...........its worth it to be able to experience the countless classics waiting to be discovered or rediscovered. Just type game of the year for start of all the game categories and you will see why its worth it....... XP eliminated much of this in its design .....and became very user friendlyThese games relied on design and rewarding gameplay not so much on profit as today.............as they were created by small independent publishers I am offering a 50% shipping cost discount ***NO international continental US only (or contact me)*** **I make no guarantees that any of my systems will be able to use any particular piece of software or run a certain game, etc. If you have questions regarding a specific game or program, please feel free to ask, and I am happy to provide whatever help I can regarding a specific game or program. Do not however buy one of my systems and then ask to return because of it not being able to use or run a particular program or game, or not being able to set it up properly. Thank you.** I do not add internet support as I feel that without current virus support you are asking for trouble. And data loss. Then what?...You have nothing but a old computer. Downloading is best done on a current PC and transferred over with a flash drive or a CD. It can be set up at your risk easily.... I make no phony claims...... this is not 1998
