I have quite a lot of experience building and repairing modern gaming PCs and laptops, and now I want to have go at building a retro gaming windows 98 desktop. I want a system that can run games from Theme Hospital to Morrowind.
From a number of google searches (and finding this website) I've pretty much worked out that there's a lot of new stuff to learn. Firstly, there seem to be some components (Like sound cards?) that aren't really used anymore, but seem important in a windows 98 machine, and secondly I need some help understanding exactly what CPUs, GPUs motherboards etc. are compatible. Are all lga775 cpus and mobos compatible? Im not interested in making the pc with parts from the time necessarily, as long as the system runs well and is dirt cheap, Im happy.
