just cause you can doesn't mean you should... I have no idea what you are talking about/to whom? Are you saying I should have used older hardware? because I am, since in earlier posts in this thread I just decided to go with older hardware. Are you saying I should have used the ryzen system? Are …

I purchased a new old stock intellimouse off of ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2000-Sealed-Microsoft-IntelliMouse-ver-3-0-Windows-95-Serial-PS-2-Wired/183735945269?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 But one thing I noticed is that it is glossy instead of matte, I don't …

It's not that off topic, and think you have made a good decision. P3 500 will make a fine Win98 box, You replied just as I was. 6200 is total overkill if it would work at all. FX were indeed crap when they were currant in the P4/WinXP era but pretty good match for a P3/Win98 You can read about Pros …

It doesn't quite work like: newer = more raw power = better. its more like newer = broken backwards compatibility. I've got a socket 478 and GF 6800 Ultra Win98 build, the 6800 breaks compatibility with fog table and 8-bit palettized textures which I've had effect games, really I'd be better off …

I have brought this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-GX1-Pentium-III-computer-PC-Intel-pentium-3-NO-OS/192835969538?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 What do you think of this? Of course if I had more patience/ lived in an area where retro pcs were not rare, I could …

This is off topic, but I am sorry. I have decided to take another option and get a period correct machine and buy a Dell Optiplex GX1 off of ebay. For several reasons: I wanted a period correct case, It also has plenty of space for upgrading, It's slightly easier to set up a prebuilt, compatibility. …

This is not my rig personally but here is the most powerful I have found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFEpHEXBCbA here is one that is not too new but powerful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzm5yBYIR6Q

windows 98 will only use 1 cpu core so that is a total waste. I know it only uses one core, but whether its a waste or not is subjective. Sure you are not using seven out of the eight cores but what if all you cared about was the having the most powerful windows 98 computer, cores, or wallet be …

I am looking into setting up a retro pc and I am thinking about a lot of options. For example, I am looking into building a windows 98SE computer with the newest/most megaflops, etc. I found a couple a videos on the subject and read some threads. Some say the best you can do is Pentium 4, or Core 2 …
