I have three Retro PC's that I am using now for my fun. The basic horsepower under the hood of each is as follows:
WFWG ..... May 22, 1990 - Intel 486 DX4100 Release date: March 1994
WIN 95 .... August 24, 1995 - SLOT 1 Katma @ 450MHZ - February 26, 1999 (Switching soon to a PII Deschutes, same MHZ)
WIN98se.. May 5, 1999- SLOT 1 Coppermine @ 700MHZ -August 2000 (maybe a little underpowered for 98 do you think?)
The SLOT 1 CPU's are so inexpensive, so readily available and the wide selection of motherboards makes them an obvious Win98 choice IMO.
