    What we see here is the sSpec SY015 1996 Pentium 150 CPU, which has 1 core.

     

    The ram on this 1995 motherboard predates DDR sdRAM which was prototyped in 1997. I would have been using this computer to dial up AOL to use AIM and other chatrooms. Google did not exist when I first used this computer. I am confident it still works but I don't know where the components are.

    Im a prepper so heres a few tips:
     
    You are currently being asked to "Bug-In", but you should still prepare a "But-Out" bag.  Just in case you have to get out.
     
    Water hasn't been 100% targeted by the masses yet, either purchase containers or water now and fill if you can afford it (or buy bottled) (do your research 1 drop of bleach to keep clean etc etc).  Not to hoard, but to drink if needed.  Water purification tablets or Lifestraws if you can.
     
    Dried fruit hasn't been targeted by the masses, lasts a good amount of time also.  Can absolutely restrict your need to go grocery shopping for fruits (quick perishables) - can do the same with canned vegetables - just take less salt in from other places to mitigate the preservatives in canned veggies.
     
    If electric is cut, your freezer is useless.  Meat hoarding isn't advised, dried meat hording is.  Learn to make it now, not when the freezer goes out and you have 8 roasts and no game plan.
     
    Potatoes when stored properly can last 2-3 months, are cheap, filling and easy to cook
    Onions properly stored can last up to a year, flavor flavor flavor - better than eating things without some tastiness.
    Flour properly stored lasts up to 6 - 8 months.  And making your own bread isn't expensive at all.  Learn now while at home going stir crazy.
    Vegetable oil (opened but sealed between uses) can last up to a year
    Corn Meal - 1+ year
    Salt - flavor
    Pepper - flavor
     
    Theres thousands of other things but these are some basics - you will probably consume any of the above items within 1 year if you actually use it.  So buying it in preparation, learning to cook with it, and honing that skill now - if the proverbial poo hits the proverbial oscillation - is imperative to individual comfort.
     
    Ill post more but I have to get back to work, if there is any interest
