Compaq Presario 425

the compaq presario 425 is an entry level all-in-one computer from 1993 that is a big pile of dog shit but she's my pile of dog shit. she runs windows 3.1 with compaq branding and has an ugly as fuck default interface resembling a literal notebook and i hate it.

i name my computers usually but i haven't decided on a name for her yet.

• CPU: 486SX @ 25 MHz | can apparently be upgraded to 33 MHz with a jumper change
• RAM: 16 MB | 8 MB standard
• GPU: Cirrus Logic Onboard w/ 512 KB RAM
• Sound: Integrated PC Speaker | Upgraded with ISA A111-860 Clone
• Display: Integrated CRT, Max 800x600 @ 16 Bit Colour Supported
• OS: Windows 3.1
• Storage: 1.44 MB Floppy Diskette Drive + 1 GB SD card adaptor | 20 MB Hard Disk Drive standard

it runs visual novels surprisingly well if you install windows 95, but with 3.1 you're going to be playing commander keen and princess maker. i use it for writing because my ADHD ass will get distracted by social media or DMs or video games.
