Long time lurker here, but now decided to join this awesome forum. Hi guys! 😊
So I started thinking to bring back my old W98 machine which worked okey but now I want to make the next step.
I would like to build a solid 95/98 machine. I rememember some games worked better on 95 than 98 and vice versa. And I just like the plain 95 better. (1) So my question is, can I make a dual boot with 95/98? With 2 partitions, or do I need 2 HDD? Don't remember exactly. 😁
I'd like to play games from 95 to 2000, but I want them to play flawlessly.
Case: something noname black Super Power thing but works fine with a Codegen 300W power sluppy.
MB: TUSL2-C (dimm 2-3 don't work so I can get only 256 MB RAM)
Q: I have two stick of Crucial CT32M72S4D8E.18T 100Mhz which is ECC ram, but works fine in my TUSL2-C, is it worth using that?
Q: I have more P2 and P3 boards but because I want the CPU below, thats the board I need. Or should I make a P2 system?
CPU: Tualatin Celeron 1200Mhz (SL5Y5) Great overclocker CPU
Monitor: Eizo FS L360 (have scaling issues, but thats the only monitor I have...)
Soundcard(s): Sound Blaster Live! Value CT4870 + Diamond Monster Sound MX300 RevA PCI S5 ( I hear it's an awesome card and want to test it)
VGA:
Q: Should I use a good geforce card or a Matrox?
Addon: My first 3dfx Voodoo 2 (orchid)
Q: I did notice that after using this V2 card a picture quality even on windows desktop gets a little bit worse
Q: I have a matrox m3D can I use that and the voodoo both at the same time? The m3D is one of my prized possession, it's brand new.
And if (1) isn't going to work out, I have an Intel Pentium machine P1 100Mhz but I have 133, 166, 166mmx and so on... CPUs, so I could build a very capable w95 machine out of it. I just need a HDD with lesser than 2GB, because of that machines bios doesn't work with newer HDDs.
