Sorry guys, I've been busy updating the AV on my retro console collection. I'm in the process of hooking up a XRGB Mini with all the best adapters 😀
I replaced two hard disks in my PC, which fixed the random freezes. Both were ST2000DM001 drives. I've been buying Seagate drives since my first 20MB MFM but had to jump ship after so many recent issues. Every drive I bought after they dumped their 5 yr warranty has been flaky or failed completely - coincidence?
I still haven't decided on a graphics card for my new (6 months ago) build. The more I thought about it - a graphics card without a power connector (750) bothered me. The 780 might be a better balance between performance and power saving. Once I finish this thing - it should be a nice $300 + $1,000 build 😀

If you have a vid of Win 98 booting on that PC - it would be awesome. I was like wow booting Win 3.1 on P3/450 back in 99.

See previous post. 😊
One other thing I forgot to add though - >2GB cards generally require 64-bit OS.
I'll be using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with 8GB DDR3
