Okay so I had this voodoo 5500 PCI in the cupboard for 15 years apparently, found it when I cleaned it out. I bought a bargain 3 ghz pentium 4, mobo and memory on ebay for £25.
Last night I put it all together and installed windows 98SE, the drivers, dx8 etc.
With that done I installed 3dmark01 ran at default and scored: 2736
Pleased with the fruits of my labour I decided to take a break, after pondering what glide games I was going to try out whilst on the shitter; I came back to see artifacts on the screen. Win98 unresponsible so I hit the reset button.
This is my reward apparently:
I could only manage getting into safe mode after this.
Is there anything I can do or is my voodoo 5500 fucked?
This has been the most depressing build ever, I used this guide: How to install Windows 98SE on a modern PC to allow me to run windows with 4gb of memory slotted, as I planned to dual boot windows XP as well.
Could that have something to do with it breaking???? Should I just end my life and put myself out of my misery? 😠 😠 😵
