Sacrilege: Apple IIe Has Intel Inside


In his desire to play Quake, a man has managed to rip the guts from his Apple IIe and installed a...Pentium.

A Pentium II, mind, but an x86 processor nonetheless.

"I designed it in such a way that I could put almost any standard ATX motherboard inside," Craig Noll says in an Inquirer story. "It just happens that I don't have a Pentium 4 or anything in that range."

Craig says he'd like feedback on his project. You can mail (not flame him) here.
