Run msd.exe if you have dos, select the computer button, it might tell you there.

Select the letter corresponding to what you want to know more about. I don't have a machine running DOS but if i remember correctly, it will tell you processor brand and speed.

If you have win95 or 98, i think it still has msd, also your system might have msinfo, which can help out too.

@invisix

I have an SBPro 2 ISA and SB Vibra 16 ISA card you can have for post if you want 'em.

I'll look and see if I have any spare sims from that era.

I found the box of SIMMs. I don't remember much about them. Some are 32 pin, others 72. I only remember seeing the 32 pin ones on 386 machines. Do you have 72 pin SIMM sockets? I'm guessing the EDO variety doesn't work on most 486's? I snapped a picture of them. Is there an easy way to identify them?
