Old pc project

[uncfan_2563]

Hi guys this is my first post and i signed up to ask for some advice and cuz this website is really helpful


I've got two problems? They're both related sorta

1. So I've got this really old (i sneeze all the time when i get near it cuz of all the dust) 125mhz AMD, 64mb RAM pc that i've been messing around with recently just for fun. I've tried to install FreeDos and Windows 2000 on it. Neither setup seemed to actually install. Win2k never even boots the disc and FreeDos gets stuck while loading the setup files, i've left it there for an hour and nothing happend. I'm wondering if there is something stopping the pc from caching the data because 64mb is sufficient for FreeDos...

2. This is related to the same system ^^^^^
-how can you find the %100 correct architecture of a pc? I started to get suspicious if this computer is really x86 because the setups weren't working.




Thanks in advance

Ok here we go. I might not be able to get everything because i cant actually run anything like CPUID.



-230 W PSU
-10 gb HDD
-CD Player
-Floppy Drive
-CPU = AMD K6
-Mobo = P51430 TX Titanium IB+
-it says the bios is from 1997 if that helps

K6 is X86.

ok thanks for the clarification guys.

so what about my main problem? i think i'm going to try installing an OS via floppy and see if that is what the problem was. any good floppy sized linux distros? i dont care if they're command line only
