You know, I have a P166mmx.  It is short on ram (the large dimm in it failed so
it is now stuff with an inadequate amount of SIMMS), but that's cheap.  It has
a decent graphics card, etc.  I was just thinking of putting windows on it to
play my old sierra games, plus a few others on it.  And I also was thinking of
trying to aquire a few more old sierra games, like the heros quest stuff, 
gabriel knight, et all.  

I might do that this weekend.  It still needs more ram, but Staples isn't 
gauging people too badly right this moment.
