Go for 63GB or less and you should be good.Ĥ. As for Win98 itself, the limit is probably more like 137GB. Theoretically FAT32 tops out at 2TB or something like that, but the Win98 version of FDISK doesn't support drives larger than 63GB give or take. It should be fine unless you plan on OC'ing it, but for extra assurance I'd get something with a fan on it. Are there any games from GOG.com that I can just burn on CD (bin/cue), put in my Time Machine and install it?ġ. I'm thinking Tomb Raider, Doom, Duke Nukem3D, Sierra and Lucasarts adventures, Descent, Quake2, Unreal?ħ. Time period I'd like to cover are games up to 98 / 99 Unreal, Quake 3 that sort of stuff.Ħ. Windows 98SE the best choice? I'm a bit low on Ram, only got 256 but could go with 384MB. What's good to show for Windows 98SE games? I'd like to show being able to choose between DirectX, OpenGL and Glide with this machine. What's good for showing DOS glide stuff? Anything from GOG.com that would work here?Ĥ.

BIOS HDD limit for a BX440 machine? Anyone know?Ĥ. FAT32 limit (working reliably) is 64GB with Windows 98SE?ģ. Should be ok, considering that 120mm fan close by?Ģ. It doesn't have a fan, but a rather large cooler. Disabling L1 cache for older / too fast gamesġ. Lots of video footage showing the steps Optical drives (looking at IDE and SATA options, Audio CD playback for DOS games) Memtest to make sure it's all good before installing Windows Storage options (looking at CF adapters, IDE to SATA adapters, PCI SATA controllers, SSD, HDDs, Pros/Cons) Sound Cards (I will be going with an Audigy LS and Sound Blaster 16 + NEC 385) for Windows performance and DOS compatibility GPU (I will be going with a MX440 and Voodoo 2 to cover OpenGL, DirectX and Glide)

Mainboard choice (I will be going with a BX440 board) I will be using a time-line to show what this machine will be able to cover and what it won't. It's a compromise (explaining that you can't cover every time period and that the games you want to play dictate what hardware you need to get). I'd like to use this thread to bounce around ideas, get feedback BEFORE the video is done, ask questions and so on. In short what I call Time Machine is a hybrid of old and new parts to get the best of both worlds.

So this video will be about a Retro Gaming Time Machine. My 'Roland MT-32 The Ultimate Tutorial' was well received and I have taken lots of feedback onboard and will try to make this video more packed (not as long and more to the point).
