So, since I've always wanted to have a high-end 98SE machine, I have this build (my only build except from my main laptop, I'm a 98SE fun, not a retro collector or stuff like that 😀 )
I don't care about period correctness, I just want the machine to be fast at modern tasks like browsing the current web, YouTube watching, playing games not designed for 98SE with KernelEx and what not.
Though I also want to have some compatibility with DOS games (I know I'm missing a proper sound card for DOS music, but apart from that it is fine for now):
MoBo: ASRock K8Upgrade-NF3
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2,0GHz (Venice)
RAM: 1024MB DDR 400MHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6600GT 128MB AGP (Leadtek WinFast A6600 GT TDH) (backup: no-name NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440)
HDD: Samsung SP0822N 80GB IDE
Display: SONY SDM-HS53
PSU: Enermax EG365AX-VE(G), 365W
Recently, the 6600GT has broken, producing crashes everytime a 3D activity happens, like at the DxDiag test.
When I put the MX 440, everything works fine.
But of course, MX 440 won't cut it.
So, what would be the best GPU to replace 6600GT with?
Note that I don't want to pay much, I can accept both NVIDIA and ATI.
