Hi! After sitting on the sidelines for a long time, I recnetly decided to get back into a similar era retro PC myself. I found your website with so many useful bits of software (I came for the Intel INF files, stayed for the... lots of other things). So just wanted to say thank you for what you're doing!

simply the best retro gaming channel on youtube.

Make sure that if you get a workstation graphics card that you get an AGP card not an AGP Pro one, the difference is that AGP pro has an extended slot that provides extra power so workstation graphics cards using it don't need a molex connector for power. They will not properly fit in a standard slot and can get stuck halfway, causing a short.

Cool :) my childhood PC I played on has a Pentium III and used to run Windows 2000 im hoping to get it from my folks since they dont use it

Of all the computers I've had over the years. Pentium, P2, P3, Athlon XP, Core 2 Duo, A8, 8700, 10750, 13700, just to name a few that I can remember lol. Of all of those, while the later CPUs are so much more powerful. In my mind atleast, the Pentium 3 (733) unit that I had just felt so snappy at the time. I remember not thinking much about the P3 series when it released. But it went on to become one of my favorites. Seems to get more forgotten about than the other Pentiums. Cheers! Great vid!

Nice video. Always get into the old nostalgia mode & want build something similar. Then again i recall buiding my second 486 back in those days & the nightmare i had back then figuring out the right dma's & irq's & in the end had to beg a shop to sell me some jumpers as the hardware i bought had been stingy on jumpers & i couldnt get my setup without it.

Kristopher Tadlock In fact an ISA card is much better for DOS. And it works under Windows as well. So the ISA card is more DOS and a bit of Window, whereas the PC is Windows with a bit of DOS.

Hey u can use VIA ide/sata combo pci card with this mobo.it's support boot disk. and also have Win9x compatible drivers.

Those times I put Tualatin in Abit Bx chipset board. I modified cheap socket370 => slot 1 adapter, studying Intel data sheets and similar conversion projects. I also made tutorial how to modify such adapter, my unique way. Also BIOS mod was needed, new microcodes, at least for Windows XP. in the end I didn't used it for a long time, because I wanted overclocking and bx chipset OC with FSB over 100 MHz was not best because of Agp bus speed. But it was funny to have 1.4GHz cpu in a motherboard which I bought for Celeron 300A :) Motherboard even had Ultra Ata 66 on board, but quite a shitty one.

Dofus Schmuck Good question! I've had V2 SLI in a P4 3.2 GHz and that worked fine :) With V3 you need to be careful, newer boards usually do not support AGP 3.3V standard. But other cards, like from Nvidia, will work fine. P4 and Athlon you can get a slow chip, and it should perform on the level of a fast Pentium III. So yea, no good reason not use Athlon or P4. You could get SATA controller as well, USB 2.0 and onboard Ethernet. So lots of benefits :) Are you thinking of building one?

@philscomputerlab

9 жыл бұрын

Slava A Yes, I did! It worked fine, but I found little performance difference compared to the SATA III drive. The processors in these machines are simply too slow to make a difference. Windows 98 boot times also did not really improve, likely also to do with a processor. It might make a difference on a Pentium 4 3.4 GHz Windows 98 monster, but I never tried that yet LOL

If I'm not mistaken the 1.1 GHz Pentium III was discontinued because of stability or cooling issue, but the Taulatin had a 1.1 GHz. However, the Tualatin required an 815 chipset motherboard board or a Powerleap PLITP3 or whatever slot to socket adapter and using the Celeron Tualatin was better to use in a socket 370 motherboard with only official 100 Mhz FSB (Front SIde Bus) Speed because the Pentium III Tualatin was a lot more expensive and it wouldn't clock as high as the Celeron Tualatin in systems with only officially supported 100 MHz FSB speeds due to the multiplier. I prefer intel network cards too because they currently have the best driver support. Also look into the early ATI Radeon X1000's or x2000 graphics cards or an Nivdia 7800 GS graphics card. For sound look for a sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS or X-Fi PCI.

This is my build xD haha but got 32 gb flash drive and 128 megs of ram enough i think 256 or more go for xp.

I was putting together a Windows 98 pc consisting of an MSI MS-7021 Socket A, AMD Athlon 3000+, 512mb DDR 333mhz, soundblaster pci128, and the GPU was a Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb however I could not get the card go output a decent picture unless I held it at a weird angle, so instead I stuck in an extra gb of ram and threw windows xp on it, and swapped the PCI 128 with an Audigy 2 to use it for AGP graphics card benchmarking instead.

I recently got my hands on a Soltek SL-65KV2-CT motherboard with 768MBs PC133 RAM and a Pentium III 1GHz (133MHz FSB). I'm planning on testing a GT 610 PCI on that baby. I need to get 512MB modules to achieve maximum RAM (1.5GB).

Just curious, my P3 board is an Intel SE440BX-2 with a built-in YMF-741. As great as the Vortex2 cards are, can I remove my Montego II for now? (I know a few of my games do support Sensaura, which the DS-XG seems to support.)

Holy shit Phil predicted the RTX launch

Is there an rule to always reset bios/jumpersetting when attempting to plug in slotket with for example Celeron CPU? In my case, i am using P3B-F and have plugged in Celeron SL5XU 1100mhz which is max supported on this card Rev 1.04. I got black screen, and bios not shows up. Voltage is set correctly on the slotket. Do you have any relevant experience you would like to share?

can you make a list of good games for dos and windows 98?

Im building a slot 1 pentium 3 500mhz PC.. But the vcore is at 3.4v(!).. Heatsink is getting really hot fast, but the machine boots, and i can get into the bios. Motherboard is an Asus p2b. Any thoughts? So little info about this around, but i think it may be the cpu.. Hmm. Anyways thanks for all the great content. Inspired me to build several different windows 98 and xp retro machines!

I gave one to my brother, sold one and kept one which I upgraded to dual Pentium III 700Mhz CPU's, boosted the RAM to 512MB and used a Geforce 2 GTS with two VooDoo 2's in SLI. I loved that PC. It was kept for a very long time, until I finally had to let it go because it was taking up too much space. I recently saw one on eBay in amazing condition and almost bought it as a nostalgia project but the guy wanted £120 for it and refused to drop his price.

What is the best graphics card for retro gaming for Pentium 4?

Hello there, I am planning on building an old workstation to simulate working in 3D modeling/animation at a time when I knew that it was a career path I would like to follow as a preteen (around 2000) and was wondering if you could give some input. I do not want to skimp out on the graphics so I am looking at a hypothetical scenario where you invested on Dual Pentium III 1GHZ Slot 1 processors, 1GB of RAM, and wanted to take advantage of the latest AGP pro graphics a few years later so I am eying a Quadro FX3000 card. What motherboard would you recommend that would be able to solidly support this configuration as most of the motherboards I have found do not support a jumper configuration for anything above 600MHZ? Why duel slot 1? For the novelty of course! Additionally I keep finding "matched pairs" online but they all have what looks like passively cooled heat-sinks. If this is the case then are they designed like a modern Tesla card and thus require a server chassis to move air efficiently over them or would what you would normally find in a PC do? Especially when running at 100% for hours at a time. Lastly, would such a configuration create extra hassle or steps for a duel boot of Windows 98 SE/XP? As you can see, I obviously have little idea as to what I am doing as I have never really built a computer with hardware older than 2008 (when I built my first pc FTW!) and any input you could give would be absolutely welcome. P.S. You were not lying when you mentioned the premium that people are charging for old cards. I was originally considering flashing an AGP Geforce 6800 Ultra into an FX 4000 (which would actually allow it to outperform the latter!) but I cannot find any for a reasonable price, 150-200 dollars? Come on!

I understand that but I will be using roughly the same parts like the slot 1 Pentium III but two of them. Like, I do not want/need help with the flashing BIOS thing with the 6800 if I accidentally implied such. More like being fundamentally unfamiliar with pre SATA/PCIe/LGA hardware, its compatibilities (or lack thereof), and potential nuances of the era when it came to PC hardware that no longer exist (flipping playing with jumpers to configure your CPU) and thus are often overlooked by newbies like me.

Hey Phil, I'm still working on my fast pIII windows 98 build, right now I have a 650mhz p3 running at 866mhz at 133fsb, 512mb of ram and a fx5700ve, I'm not getting high fps in quake 3 arena, sometimes it hits around 150fps but the average is like 67fps at 1024x768, I'm using an asus p3v4x with agp 4x enabled, should I look for another graphics card that would be better suited for this system? Would a geforce3 ti200 or a geforce4 ti4200 yield higher fps in quake 3?

lilkuz2005 bench at a range of resolutions from 320x240 to whatever the highest is. That will tell us I'd you're CPU or GPU bottlenecked. I think it's the CPU, but best to get some data.

PhilsComputerLab it's a PNY geforce fx5700ve 256mb, no extra power needed, I thought it would run well with the p3, I have a 1000mhz slot 1 p3 133fsb coming in the mail, I don't think it's going to make much difference in performance but it will at least be a stock clock and not an overclock

Phil did you know these batteries can be recharged? You have to use very low apmerage though, 50mA max, 20mA ideal. And i always use my multimeter to check their charge because even 10yr battery can be still fine

Phli, any chance to get a decent PIII slot one with a Compaq Deskpro 2000, I believe they wnt up to 550 on slot 1. It a very reliable HW that stand XP very good. Wondering you opinion of this corporate type of computers. Another computer I love is the Vectra VL, PIII 850 and 1000. Ar this worth for any project. The Compaq come with 64MB AGP video, stock (a TNT ?). Vectra VL is on board video and not sure if any AGP is available. I already have a Vectra P1 for Win98SE applications. Its ia 166MMX expanded to 96MB the RAM which is decent for 98 SE and added a five USB card with NEC chipset that works like a champ. also bought a ide to sata converter with marvell chipset. Works like a champ but the IDE is PIO4 ans so slow that couldnt get an advantage. I even atached an SSD LOL.

Pentium III on 1100Mhz? I`m the only one who ask Where did you get it? The best one i had was 800Mhz. i have a pentium 2 and 3 Sony Vaio. i kept them because its much easier then a desktop. Do you use S-video capture or you downscale and convert it to capture the signal?

Alright! Dvi its much easier. It's already digital signal. It works with every capture cars. I did manage once to capture vga with a pci capture card but I had to convert the signal to digital from vga. The only reason it work is that the capture card was able to go down to 30hz and manage to receive the signal. And about that p3. Do you know the equivalence from AMD ? I really hate it but it was on the market and made a good cheap point vs Intel CPU systems. DURON Ohhh the days. It feels good and bad at the same time. Age of empires and StarCraft LAN party. Everybody was bringing his own system and showing off with his mods and twicks. I fraking cheated everytime.
