After experimenting on a recently built WIN98se P3 1.0Ghz/coppermine system(intel mATX s370 mobo shoehorned in a dell dimension 3000 case) with a multiple of AGP4x video cards, i've setted on using a GF2 GTS/32mb unit... games work great in pure DOS from the early 90's(Wolf3d/Doom/Doom2/Duke3d/ …

I myself have a Quadro2 Pro card, this mod looks worth while since im not into quadro cards, but honestly, i would prefer the bios flash route... what i dont understand, from other sites, this same mod in reverse turns a perfectly good gaming ULTRA to a quadro2 pro version, whats the purpose of …

The Stealth 3D is a great card and you can use that machine for both DOS and 95 games. I was thinking the same thing... i just havent used WIN95 in forever, i'll give it a whirl after i receive the stealth 3d card, i should have it by this friday from ebay, picked it up for $23 shipped. The Quadro2 …

Thanks for the replies... If i really wanted to go period correct with this, since the 500Mhz cpu came out in late 1999, i would have to go with either the Voodoo3 2000 agp or a GF2 GTS, of which i dont have, so the next logical step is to use the GF2 Ti, or max it out with the GF4 MX460?

Not the most modern, but I think your best bet is going with a P4 s775 AGP8x motherboard that will run WIN98 to XP. Link - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?I … N82E16813157338 PhilsComputerLab actually did a review on it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YnfioK2xZ4
