Wow that's an excellent build, combining some best components for Win9x games. 😀 Like Jo22 said, if I were you I wouldn't browse the web with this machine; hook it up to a secure intranet or just use USB to transfer files.

For a good reliable DOS gaming computer that can run WIn95.Win98se/WinME go for this build. Motherboard - Intel 430vx or Intel 430tx or Intel bx440 with AGP RAM - 128mb or 256mb. Video - S3 trio64 IMHO there are some contradictories: 430VX or 430TX chipsets cannot cache more than 64MB RAM; …

I'll pull the exact specs of it when I get the dang USB-PS/2 adapters for KB+M, it has 2 USB ports, but none work once it gets into W98. A motherboard for Coppermine P3 should be able to recognize USB keyboard and mouse. Check the BIOS for "USB Legacy Support;" for example, my Gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X …

Running FDISK displays one 3823MB disk, and "Total disk space is 504 Mbytes", according to the CHS settings set in the BIOS I think. I'd guess that's the famous 504 MiB / 528 MB barrier caused by the older BIOS; check this page for more detailed info: Hard Drive Size Limitations and Barriers, In …

As a current owner of Asus TXP4 + P-MMX 233 + 64MB RAM (max cacheable size of 430TX chipset) + S3 Savage4 Pro PCI 16MB (Gainward CARDEXpert SG4) + SB Pro 2 (CT1600) for DOS/Windows 3.1 only, I wouldn't recommend playing late 90's games on it. My very first Windows 98 machine bought in 1999 was P2- …

I might have found a solution: use ONLY the keyboard and keep the mouse complete stationary while saving. If the mouse has been moved just one pixel between clicking the "Save" button and writing completes (takes about 1-2 seconds), the game freezes and/or the save file becomes corrupted. I have no …

Hi there, I just reinstalled Warcraft II on my Socket 7 retro machine last week and encountered similar problems: if I keep playing without saving then all is well, but saving a game would result either froze up the computer (most of the times) or the save file became corrupted and unusable i.e. …
