I've enjoyed fooling around with a Falcon Northwest Fragbox I found on CL, and I thought I might enjoy some even older games.
I am tight on space, so I'm planning on building a wall mount windows 98 pc using a Thermaltake P3.
Currently, I have an Athlon 64 3000+ and an ECS board laying around. I haven't used it since 2008, but I think it works . It's an AGP board with a mix of sata and ide ports.
I also have an Antec 550 that's been laying around since 2008. It's mostly molex, but it has two sata connectors. Is it necessary to use an old PSU? I feel like it's Russian roulette.
I also have an 6600GT 128mb, but if I've understood things correctly I should acquire a 4200TI or 4600TI, and possibly a voodoo3?
I've got a few other odds and ends.
I'm not really familiar with pre 2000 hardware.
Is it true that a wireless mouse and keyboard will not work with Windows 98SE?
Is it best to install Windows 98 on an old school ide hdd, or is there some Fat32 magic I should explore?
Is there a particular Athlon64 that would be better for old school dos games?
Has anyone tried to run windows 98 on an ultrawide?
How should acquire windows 98?
If I do enjoy old school gaming, and decide to go all the way, what's the earliest atx motherboard/platform I could fit on a P3 case?
Because the inside of a 486 computer looks bonkers. Like I don't even know what I'm looking at.
