That was my first Windows computer. Despite what people say, it was very upgradeable, too. When I finally retired it, it had a 233MMX processor, 64 megs of ram, 12 GB hard drive, a Voodoo3 2000 video card, a 3com NIC, an external USR 56k modem, and a Plextor 8/4/32 CD burner. I retired it because the power supply gave up the ghost, so I traded it in on a new AMD K6-2 500 processor for my new build.
Spot on! Packard Bell got a lot of "bad press", but truth be told used a lot of Intel OEM motherboards that we good quality! And yea, most systems had a fair amount of upgradeability.
@@RetroTechChris Someone once reposted your video on there a while back. If you enjoy PB, you'll like it there. As for me, I was trying get a clear view your LS1125 spec sticker haha. I know of two other similar models used that design, the L197 and the D1000 (which I had). The D1000 had the classic Navigator and despite the similarities the software package appear to be different on the other two. D1000 < L197 < LS1125 .. it was taco supreme! haha
@@orionsky That's great! I'll have to grab a picture of the sticker and post it in the group!! This one also has an interesting navigator. I had The Obsolete Geek visiting last weekend, and he suggested I make a video about it!!
This was my first computer! Good times.
It's a great machine!
Also Mine! ended up upgrading it to 200MHz Pentium and 64 MB RAM...
Excellent 👍
You were there with me when we bought it. Fun times!

Sounds very similar to my progression with PCs! I also went up to a AMD K6-2 500, which i overclocked to 600MHz.. lol
What's the model number of the PCI network card that you added to the computer? I'm looking to add a PCI network card to my C110 running Win95. Thanks
It's a Realtek RTL8139D. Does the job nicely!! I'm also a big fan of the DLink DFE-530TX+ cards
@@RetroTechChris Thank you very much! I appreciate the information.
@@rickfrancocom anytime, my friend! This is why I'm here, to offer what I know! Let me know if you have any questions when you go to set it up.
Are you a part of the Retro Computer and Packard Bell Planet, Facebook group? :)
I'll have to check that out! I bet they would love to see my Legend Supreme 1125 as well! It's a bit unique :-)
