You can probably use Celeron 533 (Mendocino core - black one) with Slocket. The rest - I agree with chinny22

Zyga, try the new version and delete the modmxt.cfg dile I changed from Aztech to Yamaha YMF718 - this card is more compatible with GUS, than Aztech. For example after installing GUS drivers, in Copper demo OPL3 on Aztech is no longer detected. This is not the case for Yamaha. ...but, YMF718 is …

Ok. I think I found a bug. In my i486DX33 computer I have two soundcards: - Primax Ultasound M-16B (Gravis Ultrasound Classic compatible) - Aztech MMPRO16 (SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 compatible with real OPL3). Both cards are detected correctly by GLXPlay 1. When line out of Aztech is connected to line-in …

What you have so far seems compatible. Do you already have CPU ? If not - pay attention to buy Northwood Pentium 4, FSB 533 or 400. Prescott ones are not compatible, and in addition are much more power hungry and hot. Do not even think about Celeron, it is waste of money (unless you get it free). …

Also, I have a bit of a question regarding the RAM situation. Is it better to buy two 256mb sticks or one 512mb stick? Doesn't matter because i845G doesn't support dual channel. As far as I remember Intel USB 2.0 is hassle-free in Windows 98 and works just fine. For all flash drive support you may …

Chipset does everything on motherboard. It is just "set of chips". In traditional way it is divided to "northbridge" (which contains ram controller, PCI controller, CPU to PCI interface) and "southbridge" (IDE controller, USB controller, interface to multi I/O)...

I live in central europe, maybe that's why things that would be cheap in america are expensive here. Also, what do you mean by "Intel chipset"? Do you mean RAM chipsets? So I do :) For example, on polish auction site allegro.pl you may buy socket 478 motherboard for equivalent of 10 euro, right now …

Where do you live ? Socket 478/775 can be found dirt cheap these days. If you choose Pentium IV path I would also choose Intel chipset - there are drivers for Windows 98 for all chipsets until i875 (i845, i845D, i845E, i845PE, i845G, i848, i865, i875). Best are those based on i865 / i875 - AGPx8, …

Using the 3COM 100Mbps NIC, I'm getting a transfer rate of 1.6MB/s between Win95 and Win7. If getting a gigabit NIC will double it, it'll be worth it. I have PII 400 on BX with 3com 100Mbit. I may change FSB to 66 and check transfer speed for you to compare. I also have Intel 100Mbit and …

UTSource has IC41C16256-35K for US $1.11282 /PC (those are EDO). IC41C16257-35K (FPM) are more expensive . However shipping is little pricey. Probably, you will get it much cheaper from ebay. AFAIK you can use EDO in TRIO/Virge cards.

Third IC (for parity) is 1-bit wide, which results with 9-bit SIMM.
