Ha, I was going to say that. I think it was like 1992 and we got a packard bell for Christmas and it came with a stack of shareware CDs. 2mhz and 2MB of ram I believe. There was some kind of Sherlock Holmes CD-ROM point 'n click type game that had a bunch of FMVs. The whole family would gather around (sometimes the neighbors included) and we'd all oodle over the "graphics".





Definitely not 2Mhz, maybe 20 or 25Mhz? 33mhz was also common in that time frame. Even the original PC from 1981 ran at 4.77mhz.
