Hi Ben, what do you mean by screen draw lag?

What year was 7.5.5 released? Win95B came along in

it Win95a along with the Y2K update. Then both systems
would be quite patchy. ;)
This sounds like an excellent test of retro-computing, I'd love to

Too bad the IIfx CPU and FPU weren't socketed
Ahh but some were!!
I had 50Mhz parts pulled from a Daystar Accelerator in mine at one point,
overclocked to 60 before I had trouble with the serial ports.
All this talk of hotrod IIfx makes me want to run down to Orange County and

I have to agree with 3.1 on a 386. I've got an old laptop with a 486/25 that
positively crawls with Win95.

He means you can see the graphic elements draw on
the screen instead of snapping on. A faster Mac
or a faster upgraded CPU can take care of much of
it.
Hmm, I just noticed he left the T out of Paintboard
My 'pimped' IIci only has an 8*24*GC, a 1GB Seagate Hawk, 24MB RAM and
a Daystar 50MHz '030+FPU, plus a Farallon EtherWave card. It does the job.
Pimped meaning what here, please?
pimped out being roughly synonymous for tricked out depending on your

That's because it's only 25Mhz. ;P The 40Mhz CPU and
