My PC in 1999 - Windows 98 SE, Celeron 466MHz, 128 MB RAM, TNT2 Ultra, Voodoo1 6MB (scavenged from previous PC for the Glide games), SoundBlaster Live, 8-9GB (IIRC) HDD, those very same Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 Surround Sound Speakers here (I'd won both the sound card and the speakers in an internet sweepstakes!), and the Sidewinder Gamepad. I don't recall what my joystick was at the time. Regular floppy drive, a DVD drive (don't remember the speed), no zip drive. I'd eventually added 256 MB more RAM and upgraded the CPU to a Penium 3 800MHz, and ... kept using it as my gaming PC through 2007. IIRC I was using a 15" Trinitron CRT for most of its life, with a 17" for last few years.
But why would you play 4:3 games stretched to widescreen??
We had the same computer. My friend Joe had to give me a new motherboard because he set it on fire when he tried it overclock the CPU. 😂😂😂
This is a dream build for late 90 ... but crap for early 2000. :)
i guess (shrugs), Mainstream support for Windows 98 and 98 SE ended on June 30, 2002. Extended support ended on July 11, 2006.
and Mozilla Firefox 2 last update was December 18, 2008. so... your mileage may vary.
Nice rig. I totally support the idea of building a system based on old magazine articles. It makes them feel a bit more tied into the era so to speak. And good choice of speakers. I have a set of those myself, and they sound good to this day.
Cool rig!
Have you checked if there’s a BIOS update available for this motherboard? It might be able to support your faster CPU after updating.
That is froogin’ nuts!
Very nice!
Nice build
awesome!
This takes me back
nice build.
that voice in the setup scared me to death
Nice build..
Colored translucent Plastic is amazing
Apple-style (colored transparent plastic) cases are the fucking best. Imagine making a 98 machine with mid-2000s components and a refresh rate NONEXISTENT during the operating system's entire lifespan...
Nice build, i had a pentium III 800Mhz with a voodoo banshee and a riva tnt 2 too after some months it work very nicely, and i had at the time the cambridge soundwork 5.1 with a sb live card, old good time :D
can you have a voodoo banshee and a riva tnt2 together. I know you can with a voodoo 2 because it has a passthrough port but the Banshee ?? :)
i had at first a voodoo banshee, than i switch to a riva tnt 2 :) in the same rig. i can't have all two card togheter obviously :P( sorry but my english isn't very good) @@kinkykane0607
I remember getting a TNT2 Ultra in 1999 and 2 weeks later the GeForce 256 came out. Luckily my local store let me refund my TN2 Ultra and pay $20 or so more and get the GeForce lol.
Had those same speakers. The sats are great...the sub is too weak and if you turn it up its just awful.
Tachyon the Fringe is one of the best space games ever.
Had an SB Live! at the time too. used it a long while.
That's funny that they manages to sell a 'gaming' system in 1998/9 where there was no games to speak of.
The speakers are great. I had a set that was in daily use for 18 years, I was gutted when they died.
Nice!
Audigy does have gameport, but you need a breakout cable.
This is pretty close to what I was rocking circa 99/2000. It was my third PC and the first I'd built from components.
Abit BH6
Coppermine P3-650
Voodoo2 SLI
I had that specific Pioneer slot loading DVD drive. And an SB Live. Also a Sigma Designs Realmagic Hollywood+ DVD decoder card.
No free PCI slots
I even had the Cambridge speakers, although mine were the 4.1 version.
Please restart after every driver. I once made the same mistake and broke VIA chipset drivers, had to write them to a CD so Windows could find appropriate files.
I wanted to write the same thing. Fully agree
I have those same speakers and got them at a thrift store for 5 dollars. I use them for my 486 build
Whoa, that's I call overkill 😂
What kind of case is that?
Can you upload those drivers on your magical cd?
nice. I have the same motherboard . with the Piii 550 with 512 pc100
Cool, but you do not tell when you use 3dfx card and you play in 16/10 not in 5/4, all games are stretched and this is wierd.
Man hard to think back then 256mb of ram seemed like a lot when currently I have a pc running 64gb of ram.
Always throws me off to think the amounts that are petty now, were amazing back in the day. I think I remember maxing out my hp pavilion back in the day and thought I had a lot lol.
Seriously? My first computer only had 64kB.
I have that Best Buy Sticker on my main rig and on my laptop.
Finding drivers for that sound card was miserable even then. You lost the disk, you threw it away.
OMG I had that case!
I still have mine. It's so ugly I love it. The handle on top was the best about it.
@@MachtNixPasstSo what is the brand. Any markings? I need to know so I can buy it again.
Please more content.
@@Zestypanda
I have it in my hands and I searched EVERYWHERE, but couldn't find any sticker about the maker or the type.
Edit: now I want to know it too. Wait, I search for it.
@@Zestypanda
Lad ... I ... uuuuhmm ... I'm really sorry, but I couldn't find any info at ALL. I tried different words, combinations - nothing. But I keep looking.
Like
Needs steering wheel and pedals so many great driving games
Why are there two 3D GPUs in this build?
Subwoofer on the floor for best sound.
now i'm worry because i'm getting the same board with a 800mzh cpu.
with a TNT2 you dont need the voodoo card.
That TNT2 was a garbage m64 version. Half the speed of a normal TNT2 card.
@@EvoPortalthe M64 has the same performance as a Voodoo 2.
I exposed my windows 98se to the internet and nothing happened, maybe the new malware has no idea what to do with windows 98?
TNT2 without a heatsink? 😵
yeah I didn't have any on hand and would agree with everyone else to put one on it other wise good bye TNT2
It's an m64, doesn't really need one.
That TNT2 was a garbage m64 version. Half the speed of a normal TNT2 card.
Still hot enough to cook itself though. it's identical to TNT2 in core clocks, just garbage because of the cut down 64bit memory bus.@@EvoPortal
@@jamesjan Wrong, that's the absolute garbage TNT2 "Vanta" m64 card clocked at only 80mhz core and 100mhz memory. It's absolute garbage. A voodoo 3 is twice as fast.
Cmon, Vanta, why Vanta, u told fastest tnt2 available :-( 😢
Nice double kill in DF2 😂
But half life, u dirty bastard 😂😂😂
tem um gato no seu video
asus p3b-f
So.. not only is that poor M64 video card technically not even a TNT2.... but it's also missing it's heatsink!... and on top of that, you completely blocked all of it's airflow with the plastic back of the blower...
But at the same time, you care very much about.......HDD cooling?!!?!!?!!
**facepalm**
No processor badge? Pathetic :p
Did you die?
