I recall playing with a 486 66 w/ a console version of winamp 2.0 I beleve. Of course I had the pentium 100 at the time as well.. but I certainly played MP3's at 128k with the 486. It still really makes me wonder if the 128 kbit/sec has something to do with the fact spirit has a 486 inside of it.
Anyone remember that when you are dealing with space, the CPU must be no faster than a 486 due to trasistor size? Yeah, just kind of ironic being that I remember playing that 128 kbps mp3 on a 486 slowing it down so much that I really could not do anything else useful on the computer... Damn you RIAA
