Re: Advice on a reliable Windows 98 setup

I agree with leileilol, it was fun to tinker with AMD K6-III+ / Voodoo 3 3000, but that rig was never really reliable. If you want Win98 PC that will "just work", go for Celeron / Pentium 2 / Pentium 3. I'm running P3/933MHz, and it's rock stable, even with VIA chipset 😀

Oops, ya I was thinking FSB when I typed cache. 😜 AMD XP 2500 or 2600 is what I had in 2004 as well and I remember my games running smoothly on that computer. From what I just read the P4 3.06GHZ is even faster so it *should* have no trouble hitting 30 FPS. Can't wait!

First thing is to tell us the name of the equipment manufacturer. Second thing - given the variety of semiconductor manufacturers (westinghouse, Motorola, AMD, TI) is there a possibility that these could be MIL type numbers, rather than a manufacturer's internal "catalogue number"?

Since all chips are labeled with at least the manufacturer's logo (Ti, AMD, Motorola, etc.), you could try asking them if they still know what these chips are. There are also old books that lists all these chips and their replacement parts. Are any of these parts are actually broken?
