8088 Corruption
#1
I determined this would be a more appropriate forum for this. Anyway the very first IBM PC was the IBM 5150 which came out in 1981...sporting a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 CPU. Normally not thought of being able to do much of anything cool, except this guy found a way to do audio and video playback. For those in the know, the 5150 had CGA graphics, giving you only 16 colors, and those colors were only available on certain graphics mode because there just wasn't hardly any video memory, something to the tune of 16 KB of video memory.... Just for reference my GTX 1060 has 6 GB of video memory.

Anyway to the cool nerdy stuff...
