I’ve looked at E16, but it doesn’t appeal to me for some reason. I like that it can do some serious eye candy on low-level hardware, but it’s almost too much for me. Not unlikable, just not quite what I was after.

You might be able to run E16, which does composite, on your 150 MHz pentium but you would be better off with Window Maker or Next Step. Window Maker or E16 with composite turned off are good, low resource Window Managers these days and both are practical.

I remember playing Quake on my 486. But it was 100 MHz.

Reminds me of the time I once ran Quake I on a 486 just because a friend said it wouldn’t run at all. It didn’t run playable but it did run. LOL

I try to avoid acronyms such as “lol” but in this case this blog post actually did make me chuckle to myself. Quite amusing.
