Hi, love your retro jobs on this site, I have a question though, I am working on building a 98SE Gaming machine. On the list for parts to get, I have picked is a Pentium 3 1400S CPU and a 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 AGP GPU, so now the problem is finding an AGP and PCI Main-board that can use the fastest ram the P3 can use at the 98SE limit of 1.5GB if it can be stable, a Sound card that is the best that can be used under windows 98SE, a Power-supply that can run this all, and the largest hard-drive 98SE can use. Oh and two final question, were there IDE drives that could read and burn both CD's and regular DVD's that worked under 98SE, also I am looking to use 5.25 Floppy's with this machine for games and older programs, will I have problems doing that with windows 98SE?
The Drive specs I'm looking to do with this machine is to have two Hard drives, two optical drives, two 3.5 floppy drives, and two 5.25 floppy drives. the reason for this configurations, is not just for games, but also for dubbing the older floppy games to CD/DVD, and to back-up CD/DVD old games, so if the disk degrades/breaks, its backed-up
Thanks for your time. 😉
