Hello guys. I'm a retro game fan and I'd like your help in choosing the best hardware for my retro pc. I have a friend that gathered lots of components among the years and is willing to give me all of them. However, most of them are Pentium 3 / Pentium 4 hardware. So we are talking about DDR RAM, AGP video cards, CPUs between 1Ghz and 2Ghz.
Will 16-bit games work well on this configuration? Well as in if it'll work without compatibility issues. I'm going to use Windows 98 or 95 on it.
The games I'd like to play are DOOM, Hexen, Heretic, Warcraft, Commander Keen. But I'd like to have a large game scope, like above 90% compatibility with all old games.
Should I get the Pentium 4 Hardware or buy a Pentium 2, With a PCI graphics card for better compatibility?
Thank you so much for your input
