Hi guys
I built myself a Super Fast Win98 rig (socket 775, Core 2 Duo, AGP, Geforce 3) on an ECS P4M800PRO-M motherboard. I had a lot of fun putting that together and getting it working. It is dual boot with 98SE and XP and I am just looking for a Geforce 4 TI 4600 to finish that one off. And an X-FI card - actually I have an Exteme Gamer lying around but it is faulty so I am looking to see if I can fix it when I get chance and save myself £20.
So now.... I thought it would be good fun to try building a stupidly fast XP rig! I did a google search and it appears that Socket 1150 boards with XP drivers do exist though I don't have any specific model numbers to search for availability. But what about 1155 motherboards? I'd like something as fast as I can find and preferably full size ATX. Crossfire or SLI support would also be desirable.
Does a list of such motherboards exist? What are the fastest CPU they would support?
Sorry if this isn't 'retro' enough for you good folks but I believe retro gaming comes in all shades
