Ok this might be an unusual request. But anyways.
I was recently going trough my old cds, sorting out those that just collect dust and taking space away. And I found quite some amazing old skool games... for Win95/98. Now the thing is, I loved to play them and I still want to play them. BUT my oldest operating system running is Win2k, on the lappy. Some of the games won't run there. So I came across the idea of building a retro gaming rig, with Win98 on it.
Now, what would be the highest-end hardware suitable for win98? I need suggestions for a motherboard, GPU, RAM (please none of Rambus) and of course a CPU.
And no, virtual stuff is out of the question, I want a machine!
Suggestionsare greatly appreciated
