[lug] [Arguably OT] Resources Required for MP3/OGG Playback

[Wagner, Carl]

Are you talking the real deal 8087?  

I have done a 8087, 80287, 80387 (it was a IIT brand, a clone of a 387)

I'd stick with the 486 DX2/66 or higher.  Although a 386 with a math
co-processor might work.  :-)

(That'll scare someone outta their shorts... who here remembers adding a
math co-processor to your machine?  Hands?  LOL...)
