I have an old pc(pentium-1 with 16 mb ram) which i didn't use for long time. I recently tried to work on it but faced the problem of lack of old sotwares. I need older version of softwares bcoz the resources are limited on that system.

Is there any site where i can find softwares 5-10 years old.

What old softwares do you require? Do you require DOS based ones?

You seem to be a Linux enthusiast ;). I also have some older distros :)

I have PCQ CDs as sold as Oct 1998. So I can check in there and let you know the oldest DirectX version I have.
