Taner,
I have an NEC 486SX 33MHz with 20mb ram and a 200meg hard drive. Can have whatever version of DOS you want on it. Unfortunately no CD Drive, but I can load something off of a CD onto it if you needed to. Make me an offer if you want it, it's just collecting dust.

Taner if your running the new accel system we could not get it to fully run on any thing less then 400 mhz.

Taner, have you ever worked witht he DFI before? I just picked up a Gen VI DFI myself. It just arrived today. I have all the paperwork and instructions, but I'll be a newbie at setting it up.

Taner just remember thats a dos based system so you need windows 95 or older to run it win 98 and newer run a simulated dos so it will not work.

You don't need any tuning.

As long as the car idles that should be good enough.
