Analog audio oh yeah baby. PII 233 mhz didn't work so it's back to the PIII 550 @ 366. Will test on another board some other day. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/75_EmsLBd-ZiTEs6Y6uFiWvXxFg8wxnmGwM4R6TmW9jnpyMsSRbERaRVmua7y1h5EPTCjCueJS9nxSkw9WC8snRiat8YoLhhaUKzoDHnAeaoQ6tjYrPhWS4Ws_ …

My XP "rig" AsRock A330ION with the max supported 4 gb ram (which becomes 3 after the mobo takes 0.5 for something and another 0.5 for the integrated Geforce 9). Runs super cool and super quiet. Pre 2005 games run like a dream.

It's amazing the amount of hoops and loops one has to go just to make it work. Testing (on my everyday work lap) build 1511 Pro and Office 2016 at the moment. Thanks to the likes of classic shell, oosu10, spybot it is usable. Creating system restores from time to time and imaging when there's time. …

Took me three install attempts before I could finally get a stable system. On the last fresh install attempt I had the laptop on the dockstation and let Windows take care of the entire driver situation. OOSU10, Spybot antibeacon and "defer upgrades" for me. Couldn't care less about the app ecosystem …

At my previous job, they had this Win2k Pro station serving a shared folder. Pretty much the whole factory was reading and writing to said share folder (about 60 PCs). I migrated said operation to a 2003 server. XP that's when they limited it to 10 connections.

love the Sonic CD and Ice Cap wallapers.

Ah you said decent. I was gonna say Gravis Gamepad Pro, can be used in Win95/Win98/XP. XP even has the drivers included but the pad is not that great for fighting games.

Around the turn of the century (circa January 2000) a faulty line conditioner fried my motherboard. Anyways, money was tight but a new PC was needed, so we went with the M748LMRT motherboard by PC Chips and a 433 mhz Celeron. The PC66 32MB ram (which I still keep) was reused along with a 4 GB HDD …

Just installed this piece of hardware on the "nostalgia rig". Everything worked awesomely except for Doom (no sound fx, still pending to fiddle with the IRQs in the BIOS).

Played some Magical Chase for Windows 95 on well you guessed Windows 95. Added a PCI/128 soundcard to the "nostalgia rig" which will get me started while I wait for a CT1600 to arrive.

I say every driver CD is a welcome addition. I wish I didn't throw the CD of my M748LMRT, sure, drivers are available but it's not the same.

Win95b is the best Win95 version if you want Fat32 support. For super retro FAT16 feeling get the original release. OSR 2 and 2.1 if you don't want IE4 / Active esktop to auto install and do what this guy says http://toastytech.com/evil/lab.html#rem95 and don't even install IE3 in the first place.

The biggest problem for me is not knowing what I want to accomplish. Also, I guess I enjoy building and setting things up as much I enjoy playing.

What a great way to do my introductory post. I must have been 6 years old or so when I began using computers. One of the first computers I remember using was a Printaform with the green monitor. The first home computer was a Tek with the 8088 CPU, 640K ram and a humongus 42 mb HDD and an amber …
