    GW> I'm wondering the age a computer should be to be considered classic?   
      
   for P3/AMD stuff there were boards that had AGP, PCI _AND_ ISA still..   
   incredibly versatile for DOS with a Sound Blaster 16 and then on up to Windows   
   98 for some earlier Windows games.   
      
   i would draw the line at the availability of an ISA slot i think
