Awesome Windows 98 computer.

[Helegad]

I need to build one to play all my old games (Hitman Codename 47, Thief 1 and 2). I'm sick of screwing around with Vista.

What's some of the best 98 compatible hardware out there?

I would just bulid your own or have someone do it for you. I still have my computer that has windows 2000 and use it to play my old games. My friend bulid it for me and I just gave him the money to buy the parts and put it together. Wish I could help you more but don't know a lot about computers.

Create a Virtual Machine and install Windows 98 on it.

I've never had a problem with vista, everything runs in compatability mode except the old abandon ware DOS stuff..but if you install dosbox they work fine too.

[A-J]

can't you like emulate older versions of windows anyway ?

[Helegad]

Off-topicness much?

I just want the names of some good, 98 compatible hardware. Are Pentium 4s compatible with 98?

sorry Helegad, btw you know whats a really fun computer game? Carmageddon that game was great!

[Helegad]

Yes, I have all three Carmageddons. 1 was fun, but the graphics were too blocky. 2 was completely epic. I still love it. TDR was bullshit. Total bullshit.

Now, back on topic.

Well go above the maximum requierments of the games so they run smooth. Or try to buy older systems that we're high-end then.

The real problem here is gonna be drivers. I still have a Win98 computer and I didn't realize it needed drivers for using USB flash drives.
