Hey People!!

So many of us remember the good old days of PC gaming, when games where all about the gameplay over the graphics and sales values, but problems occur when new hardware is met with old games so im going to build a Windows 98 PC Intel Based.. Below are my current ideas to have inside the build, im mainly still on the motherboard/CPU deciding stage, as i cant move onto RAM until i have them selected.

Here they are..

Intel Pentium III 1.2Ghz - 133Mhz FSB Socket PPGA370
Unsure on the motherboard yet, ofc has to match the FSB and Socket, May see if gigabyte has something in this area.
thinking of a Nvidia GPU from the 6000 Series maybe 6200Le saying that i just seen a 6800 Ultra going for £300+ :O

So yeah any of you classic builders give me some tips and ideas for specs and hardware that maybe good, its going to be built for games around 1990s to 2000 just so i have something classic apart from a PS1 i can show my kids, when i ever have any :P

Thanks in advance!!!
 
I know this would be a really cool thing but this is going to cost a lot right? And your gonna get a pc that has no use really. Is it really worth it?
 
i think you want way to new parts for windows 98. And finding a motherboard for p3 chips above 1ghz is pretty hard. I also had p3 1.4ghz and 1.26ghz chip and never find a desktopmotherboard which worked. The cheapest way is to find Pentium 2/3 system from hp compaq / dell and put a riva tnt1/2 matrox g400 etc in it. Good luck with choosing parts. Don't go above 1ghz :)
 
sounds interesting! i remember my dad's old pentium iii 500mhz pc that was overclocked to 733mhz back in 1998-ish. it also had the orignial geforce card from nvidia in it.
