Hi all,
I recently went through my old hardware that hasn't been touched in over a decade and am hoping to build up a DOS/Windows 98SE gaming computer. I'm out of touch with this stuff but did some research and it seems like my best options would be one of the 440BX or i815EP motherboards below along with the Voodoo 5 and Sound Blaster Live! for late 90s-early 00s games (Half-Life, Battlezone, Myth 2, Diablo 2, etc.). Any recommended builds with the parts below? Ideally, I'd also like to be able to play older DOS games like Commander Keen, Raptor, Stunts, and Doom but don't know if that's realistic. Anything else worth keeping from the list for future projects?
