I have all of those and they all overclock well, all though the 2800+ stands out a bit. Have gotten that one up to almost 3000 MHz air cooled during benchmarks. I used around 2.1 V vcore so not recommended during longer periods, but you could probably run it at around 2750 24/7 with maybe 1.75V …

Would be nice to see if a 7900GTX works as well, it should be able to work in theory. Then it would be the fastest 98 card, unless someone got X1950XTX to work 😀

I used enhanced mode first time around, but maybe it was that which made everthing feel buggy. I installed Win98 from the HDD last night, but it was even more buggy and wouldn't finish the installation until a booted in safe mode and installed Intel inf in between restarts and after that it kind of …

I've turned off everything I don't use in bios. I'm thinking about skipping IDE alltogether and go with a S-ATA DVD instead if that works, and just disable IDE. I will try to find older drivers for graphics card and sound card. The idea was to create the most powerful Win98se machine possible, …

Little bit offtopic, but I realized today, after some research, that I actually have the top XP-machine, without even knowing it before; Z77-motherboard, i7 3770K and a pair of 780 Ti's. Can't beat that since everything newer doesn't have XP-drivers. 😀 Running Win10 though 😜

Not much, was in the navy that year so not much time for computers. Had my old P166MMX with Voodoo2 for the times I went back home. Mostly played HL. Later in -99 I bought an TNT2 (PCI since the motherboard didn't have an AGP-port). In the beginning of -00 I build a new computer around a AX59 Pro, …

Interesting. Never heard of DoM before. I recently bought a CF-card to use with an CF-adapter I had, but didn't get it to work. I later read that new CF-cards can be difficult to get to boot from. Which DoM did you buy? I see this Kingspec-brand pop up and wondering if you can use two next to each …

You can always build a VGA to SCART adapter-cable. Did that back in the days, gave really good picture on the TV with a little tuning with Powerstrip.

If you're talking about validation at HWBOT, WinNT is an exception. Not in competition, they are not. CPU-Z validation is required, hence Win2k SP4 or WinXP. No way around it. And besides, v1.30 works with the shlwapi.dll :happy: Yes, but there are an exception and that is when the competion is …
