The GeForce FX dates the laptop between early 2003 and somewhere in 2005.

Looking at the Pentium M platform, that matches the 855 series chipsets (early 2003) or 915 series (early 2005), but GeForce FX (including the mobility version) use AGP so it would have to be 855, not 915.

That's good news for Win98SE support as the 8-series chipsets are supported whereas the 9-series is not (although it can run). So the basics will work. As for all the other hardware in there - you'd need a positive ID on the system to be sure of that. Most likely most of it will work.

Almost certainly not.

wow cool. i will buy the lot.

( i need at least geforce driver and sound driver, dont need any network card working. but i dont know how win98 will work with a pentium m and the performance vs my p3 dell inspirion

1. If its a fx 5200 go , do you think i will have more fps than my inspirion 8100 p3 1000mhz with a geforce2go ? thanks for answer.

2. Is it a 16/9 or 4:3 lcd screen ?

Not a 4:3 display - those are almost always uniformly square.

Not sure if this is the exact model, but if it is, your guess at the specs seems spot on. 😁

EDIT: Also, I want to know what's in the desktop at the bottom of the stack. 😀

Interesting mystery machines. Both the beige ones look like custom builds. I like to try to guess the specs of stuff like this so I'm going to say the tower is probably holding a socket 478 P4 or Athlon XP, maybe early Athlon 64 or Sempron (Socket 754).

The desktop is anyone's guess... the LG DVD drive looks quite a bit newer than the case. So, I would bet that it either has uncharacteristically modern parts in it (like, Core 2 duo or later) or it is something from the early SATA days with VIA or Intel chipset. Maybe some goofy ATI chipset thing.

The black one with the Coolermaster case obviously has a P4 case badge. Looks a bit fancier. I'm guessing a slightly more upscale build with a low\mid range GPU. Sadly, the caps are bad on the motherboard, because that's how these things tend to go. 🤣

Please post back here when you get them to let me\us know what was really in them. 😁

yeah sure. Check my other lot, my other topic, i make an offer of 700$, a lot of pics

I love that Coolermaster case. It's a very significant part of my childhood.

yeah i want to buy it only for the case.

Do it. Have fun with the case! 😄
