Tech Tangents | The Tiniest Pentium Gaming PC @TechTangents | Uploaded May 2020 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
This system ended up being shockingly powerful but is far smaller than you would expect! It's been a fun combination and here's how I put it together!
This system has been way more fun for me than I would have expected. I didn't know I was missing a Tiny Pentium computer in my life but it has become a regular activity for me to to play it now! It really helps that it's small enough I can keep out in places other systems wont fit.
I was somewhat wrong in this when I said the Pentium 233 MMX was "max" spec, despite Wikipedia's listing for the P5 series there is a Pentium 266 MMX. While I could try to seek one of those out or go AMD for even faster chips I'm happy with it as is. It's not worth risking overheating the CPU with the severely restrictive case to try and get a little more power that will still be held back by RAM and the Voodoo 2.
