Hi vogons I need your wisdom again.
I got the p3 1 GHZ cpu yesterday for upgrading my socket 370 p3 800 mhz system.
A bonus I was also gifted with a Pentium 2 400mhz cpu in working order.
That was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one 🤣. My curent system is used for win 98se gaming for the years 1998 to 2000. I was panning to get a second rig anyway for late does and win 95 games for the years 1996 to late 97 anyway.
I already ordered a gigabye 586 mobo for that purpose but the deal fall flat.
So I need to start from the scratch.
I think getting a intel 440bx mobo and the pentium 2 400 mhz for early windows games might be neat combo.
But how about Dos games? Wouldn't the p2 be to fast for that?
If not which mobo/graphics cards combo would you recommend for decent mulip purpose system for late does game (eg. Tomb Raider, Decent, Elder Scrolls Dagger Fall) would you recommend?
if the 400 mhz Pentium 2 is too fast for decent Dos and Windows gaming rig which cpu would you recommend?
A fast pentium MMX or something totally different?
