Hello Guys...
After been a ghost reader of the forum for close to 3 years, I finally decided to create my account and be able to share what I decided to create after spending certain amount of time reading the Forum.
My dream is a overpower Windows 98 rig. I'm not really looking for the nostalgic rig that I had a younger boy, but I'm actually looking into making a computer that will be way over the needs for windows 98.
So after reading here and there, specially the Topic about Socket 775 with AGP mobo, and some of the latest CPU and Chipsets to support windows 98 here is the Specs of the machine I will be assembling soon. (if my parts don't get delay by this possible Hurricane we may be getting here in Florida).
CPU Pentium 4 661 3.6Ghz
CPU Cooler Cryorig H7 (if I'm able to modify it to fit a socket 775 since its a 1511)
Motherboard ASUS P5P800-VM
Memory 2x Crucial 256MB Memory Module DDR 400 CL3
Storage Still looking for one, but probably a SATA 120gbs
GPU GeForce 6800 AGP
Case Thermaltake Versa H21 ATX Mid Tower Case (since I have it laying around)
Power Supply Probably a modern EVGA 450V or but more...
OS Glorious Windows 98 SE
So what is you guys opinion? I spend weeks reading to come up with a proper build, I manage to find the CPU and MOBO new on ebay, other stuff is use but in great shape.
Please fill free to provide me with any feedback! 😊
