Windows 98 can only make use of 1 CPU/core/thread channel, however 1 core, 1 thread from that CPU will still easily surpass anything it would have run on originally. This would make a great multi-boot system. Win98 may only see the first CPU pipeline and PCI slots but Win XP will see all pipelines and the PCI-E slot. Thanks for the tip on 3Dfx tweeker. Also, “olden goldies,” Phil? Love it! 😄

I do have to thank you every time that I am commenting to you and mentioning that Pentium 4 you and a few other people walked me through getting it to cooperate. It is a cheap dell that does not support win9x out the box, but can be coaxed into it. Thank you for protecting my treasures and allowing me to retro game still.

Very exciting, this inspired me to reassemble my old Core i5-2500 PC. Worst case scenario i got the spare lan party PC i planned to build anyway. Best case scenaro the YMF744 will work in it as well as Windows 98 and ill be able to slow it down enough for DOS Gaming. In a best case scenario ill buy a second PCI GPU for Windows 98 gaming for that machine and see if i can make it the ultimate timemachine. Because one system that can do MS-DOS all the way up to Windows 10 gaming on low/medium would be the ultimate dream PC of mine. I assume the likelyness it will work and play nice to be quite low, but given i have the parts anyway and its a fun hobby it won't hurt to give it a go.

I love the back to back videos of XP on Haswell, and 98 on Core2Quad, Although I was quite aware of such possibilites, I think this is really opening up people's eyes to see successful projects like that. Regarding DOS sound compatibility, would you say that the Aureal Vortex would be a better choice than the later Soundblaster cards? I'm always on the fence on that kind of build, to go with an Audigy 2 for the best 98 multichannel EAX sound, or to go with the Vortex 2 or YMF744, with some basic DOS compatibility and even a wavetable header on some cards...

I was able to get a 7600 GS PCIe to run under 98 with a EVGA Nforce 610i with the unoffical nvidia drivers. Pretty solid

I made the mistake of purchasing 2 GB of ram for my retro pc and had a lot of fun playing with the various hacks to get win98 to ignore beyond 512 MB so it'll actually run. I went with a Athlon XP 2600+, abit VA-10, and a Radeon 9700 Pro for my system (everything has native win98 drivers). It still crashes a lot under win 98 se, but it's rock solid under Win 2K. Thankfully most of my games work on win2k. Built it to play through all the Mechwarrior games since Mechwarrior 5 is coming out hopefully this year.

Hey p4 3.8ghz on socket 775 might be faster on single core then. This could be a nice video to benchmark different 775 CPU under w98se. I have a dell dimension with a p4 Northwood 3.2ghz, it has never work under w98, only under wME, but that was may be due to the Sata controller and sp3 patch that I didn't know. Thanks for sharing all these useful information.

Oh man. You've given me an idea when I do a platform upgrade and when I can follow through, I'll absolutely try to get some benchmarks, etc from it. Basically, grab a PCIe 1x to 2xPCI adapter card, a Voodoo and a older GeForce or Radeon and plug it into a modern motherboard, use IOMMU virtualisation to passthrough the retro GPUs and make a Win98SE VM to game on at native performance using your normal desktop. Same kinda idea behind the Linux gamers who throw a second GPU in for passthrough to a Windows VM for gaming. Great video man! Now I'm going to start looking more into this so I can muck around with this idea when I get an IOMMU capable platform.

Someone on MSFN has Chipset INF packs for the 3 and 4 Series Intel Chipsets. SB16 emulation can be used under Windows 98 on these platforms, its just the usual Creative driver hassles to get them working (usually something else is grabbing IRQ 5).

this motherboard seems a gem, DDR3 memory, IDE, floppy, can run Win 98/Voodoo 2. Sadly without the AGP slot, PCI versions of these old graphics card are harder to find depending on location. There are some G41 motherboards that have ISA slots but only support XP..

I still have a core2quad with its original Vista install. I need to triple boot it for win98, XP and Vista (maybe even windows 7/10) at some point!

i found a GTX 460 1gb card to be the sweet spot for windows xp gaming , and 2 gtx 1080s in SLI for windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit :)

I think this voodoo2 feels bit lonely there. It need second one to sli ;)

this is very encouraging because I have several Socket 775 motherboards and I even have an AMD machine with integrated GeForce 6200 GPU on the motherboard, I would love to get something working with that AMD system but every time I've tried vanilla Win98 SE I run into problems on everything I own except an old Celeron 500Mhz machine that I only have 32MB of ram for...

Good build Phil, I have very similar as one of my main retro machines, tho, not bragging I would say better. Its based on the gigabyte GA-8I865GME-775-RH board, which is 865 chipset with core2 support so full native win98 support. I run there GF6800GT AGP, 2x voodoo2 SLI and SB live. The advantage of i865 is that you can use AGP cards and the DOS sound under SB-live in DOS and win98 also works so its it good DOS/WIN98/XP combo retro machine with really good performance. I use E4400 there overclocked to FSB266 so 2,66Ghz. Generally, using multicore or multiCPU setup on win98 does no harm. The OS cannot use more than 1 but it also does no harm and when it boots it sets them all to sleep so they do not even use much of extra power. So running even quad is totally OK. And about this board, get them while they are still cheap. Most people do not know Gigabyte made those I865 Core2 boards, most people know only about the asrock ones and they are already packing a premium. Also, about windows 98 and 1GB of RAM. Win98SE boot fine with 1GB of ram, but not over 1GB. The internal limitation is that single process/app cannot use more than 512MB, but you usually have more things running, so around 768MB is optimal maximum for windows 98. If the machine has more than 1GB you need memory managers like HIMEMX that can limit the amount of RAM used, otherwise it will not boot. I did not find the unofficial service packs to be much of a help. In my win98 it usually crashed, doest not install completely and generally does more harm than good. Since Win98SE are already stable from the get go, I use them stock ,just install newer directX, NTFS read driver and USB mass storage drivers and thats it. No service packs or patches.

Since I knew Windows 98 could only support a single core in use I specced myself a Pentium 4. With that I limited myself to one with an AGP slot so I could use a Geforce 4 for the best Windows compatibility. Unfortunately Voodoo graphics cards are rather rare and expensive these days so I could not go down that route.

This is real Ultimate Windows 98 PC, because it have one of the fastest, and latest Core 2 cpu.

Just bought my first 3DFx. A Voodoo 5500 AGP version. I have one question: Can I plug it in AGP 8x. Motherboard os GA-7VT600 Triton. From what I remember AGP has this voltages you would need to be careful. What better place to ask than here with the experts used to it.

Just a month ago I created WindowsME/WindowsXP/Lubuntu multiboot system with Athlon XP, 512MB RAM and Velocity 100(Lubuntu is used as a backup/restore system, where with simple dd command I can backup whole partition with Win98/WinXP and restore it if becomes unstable). Later I switched to nvidia, because Velocity had problem displaying 1920x1080 resolution (it produced large black borders on left and right, V3 same thing, V5 was ok but that was basicaly trash build from not very valuable parts and I don't want to loose it). I can imagine very similar build to yours can be made to work well with most Win98 and WinXP era games. It would probably need a proper PCIE GPU that would be used only for 2D under Win98 + Voodoo2 SLI for anything under Win98. RAM can be problem with 1G Win98 limit.
