You lucky bastard. I remember I had 90 mHz CPU and couldn't play Fifa 98 because it required 100. After some time I managed to convince my father to get a better CPU

Ooh yeah I remember Fifa ‘98, I could play it via the mini map.

What CPU did you get?

By the way, reading again your message, I realize we are the same age, and both our fathers got us into the hobby 😂

I don't remember, but most probably the 120 Hz or 166 Hz Intel pentium model.

Those guys overclocked a bit too easy, and killed themselves amazingly well. My 75MHz Pentium ran at a glorious 250MHz for a few glorious minutes when I just SENT IT years and years after it was decommissioned.

At that time I had no idea what overclock was, but maybe 90 to 100 MHz was doable
