So i got "an older" computer from my neighbour.
It had an Asrock 939dual-sata2 motherboard.
I have googled around and found that it should work as a dos/win98 computer right?
I also digged through some old boxes, this is the stuff i have now:
Samsung 52X PATA CD-rom
2x2GB PC2700
2x1GB PC3200
ASrock 393 Dual-sata2
EPoX EP-9NDA3J
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
WinFast A400 GT 256MB (GeForce 6800 GT) AGP
Club 3D Radeon 9600 XT 256MB AGP
LEADTEK FX5600 256MB AGP
Radeon HD3650 512MB PCIe
Soundblaster X-FI 2MB
The built-in AC97 soundcard on motherboards of course...
SanDisk CompactFlash PATA adapter with 512MB CF-card
1 RocketRAID 404 Highpoint PATA RAID card
2x80GB PATA HDD
2x160GB PATA HDD
3x120GB PATA HDD
1x200GB PATA HDD
SATA HDD: 40, 80,160 and 500GB
(I am not 100% sure that everything works, have to find out while building.)
I want great or at least good sound in DOS if possible, do i need to buy somekind of PCI audiocard with DOS support? Or can i use that "SBEMU" thing with the onboard AC97 or the X-FI?
But most of all i want it to work as good as possible.
What combination of the stuff i have should i use for this?
What do i have to do to make it work. I guess there are limitations to what works in dos and 98, like RAM and HD sizes.
And maybe too fast CPU for some games? How do i limit that?
