Hello everyone,
I want to build up an Retro PC with Win 98SE this winter. But I need help, late 90s wastn my time with PCs, was to young, only played games by older friends and family.
I would like playing games from the late 90s, early 2000s. Also using 3dfx features, this would be the most expensive part.
Games, I would like to play:
-Hugo the troll series
-NFS 2, 3, 4, Porsche
- Highway Racer series (german Autobahn Raser)
- Hard Truck 2
- 18 Wheels of Steel series
- Test Drive 5
- Sega Rally Championship
- Network Q/ International Rally Championship (1996 DOS/1997 Win)
- V Rally 2
My idea about the hardware:
-As a basic I would buy an ASUS A7S333, seems a solid board, many NOS. AMD 462 socket.
-CPU is a big question, many Ahlton Xps 2200+ and 2400+ on ebay. Slowers model are rare and expensive. Slowest I found for cheap, was XP1600+ and Duron 600/700.
-256MB DDR RAM
-IDE HDD <80GB
-CD/ Floppy Drive
-separate soundcard (creative, TerraTec?)
- GPU is a big question, only 3dfx Voodoo3 2000/3000. Seems the best Glide support over all. I knew nearly nothing about the 3dfx`s :I
ATI/Nvidia + 3dfx?
I found informations that the Mainbiard doesnt like graphic cards with DDR Ram.
PSU ATX 1.x 200Watts+
Any suggestion, improvings?
