Note that Win98SE doesn't work correctly with more than 512 MB RAM, unless you're using third-party patches (e.g. RLoew's PATCHMEM) or other software tools to limit the memory amount (e.g. HIMEMX). As for being able to run older DOS games, you might want to check this list on the Vogons wiki. I …

I have not found any good *PWM* fan controllers under 100. This aquaero 6 Pro sounds good but expensive. Noctua does have true PWM rpm controllers but they are internal inline singles and costs about 40 to 50 dollars each. Cheers, I'm happy with the aquaero, but I would have prefered something …

There are still missing effects in Unreal when using the stock Direct3D and OpenGL renderers, even with the latest official patch. If you don't have any means of playing Unreal in Glide mode, I suggest using the OldUnreal fan patch on a modern system. Alternatively, you may be able to use an older …
