The Question About Building A Win 98 SE Gaming Rig With Maximum Settings
Recently, I'm interested in building a high end Win 98 SE gaming machine. I have a problem to choose and find the components due to the short experinces of using legacy stuff and rarity. Also, I notice that Windows 98 SE has some limitations such as 512 MB RAM which is different from modern products. Will you please list down the suitable rig specs, patches for removing restrictions and recommended websites to find them?
NOTES:
1. I am mainly prefer the IBM products. (Include IBM Think~ series)
2. The GPU must satisfy for both 2D and 3D acceleration include Glide, OpenGL, etc.
3. The CPUs are Pentium 3 and Pentium 4.
4. The period of components is from late 90's to mid 2000's.
5. I love the Gravis and Roland soundcards. However, you can tell me other soundcards that might be suitable for 3D environment.
6. Please tell me other websites exclude Ebay and Amazon. I had been attempted to search products on these sites but I couldn't find them (IBM Thinkvision C220P CRT was not on Ebay and Amazon 😢 )
7. The games will be from early 90's to mid 2000's like DOOM, Blood, Diablo, Wolfenstein, Quake, Half Life,
If you are trying to help me, I will be really appriciated to you 😊 . I have a nostalgic experience for using Winodows 98 SE computer when I was young.
ОСЕНЬЮ
Когда сквозная паутина
Разносит нити ясных дней
И под окном у селянина
Далекий благовест слышней,
Мы не грустим, пугаясь снова
Дыханья близкого зимы,
А голос лета прожитого
Яснее понимаем мы.
