If MJD got Geforce 6 Series on hand then he can get from Windows 95 to Windows 7 with aero running on the same machine,it's a little bit disppointed to see MJD not getting one of those.
I remember Microsoft had some sort of program where you could get a 64-bit upgrade of Windows XP, but I think it wasn't quite ready for production. I almost did it but when I researched it I realized there were no graphics drivers available for it for my card.
I don't think the xp 64 bit had proper directX drivers at all. A friend tried to set it up years ago and got nothing but a headache and homebrew drivers that never worked. He was in love with xp and refused to use newer windows versions, even though he spent most of his time trying to use those stupid, unofficial 13-gig "driver packs"
Lately I've been watching your older videos, and the difference between then and now is huge! You sound more energetic, the "welcome to another video" doesn't sound so robotic, and your videos have way more editing behind them, they're much more entertaining now! Please continue being like this, your videos became much better now.
kolibri would be a good idea because you haven't really taken a look at obscure operating systems (windows 12 is linux lite) except for reactos so i think it'd be a good video idea.
You should get an IDE to SD adapter since SD cards are quite more common and are quite inexpensive than compact flash cards. Not only that, most modern SD cards have decent speeds that it would max out the old ancient IDE ATA interface and as said cheaper to get than buying an SSD and trying to use an IDE to SATA adapter.
I would definitely recommend going with an SSD rather than a CF or SD card in this case. NTFS (or any journaling file system) will eat through SD and CF cards rather quickly. Also there's the page file that would need to be taken into account. Awesome video and I'd definitely be interested in both a video on Kolibri and XP x64 and XP IA-64. :)
If you put the ssd on the 98 box don’t forget to turn off the paging file or move it to a partition on a spinny disk or you’ll kill the ssd really quick. Also 98/XP and I think Vista does not include trim support
Definitely replace the HDD with an SSD. I believe there’s also a workaround to get Windows 8.1 running on SSE1 processors, so that might make for an interesting video.
I have a 7200RPM HDD (500 GB), I have owned it for a while and it is still doing as much as I need it to. I doubt I'll get an SSD because I have no reason to.
@@NotJohnTanner I mean Server 2003 doesn't normally have the Luna theme or the typical Consumer side of built in programs (such as games). XP x64 has them added back in.
To make it more confusing, there is Windows XP 64-Bit Edition, which is for IA-64, and has two editions: one is based on Windows XP and the other on Windows Server 2003. Then there is Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, which is for AMD64 and is based on Windows Server 2003.
I used to have a working FX 5200, and Longhorn builds will usually natively have the GPU drivers installed, aero on 4074 works but can be sluggish, some newer builds have better performance. The FX 5200 is one of the better cards for easy aero on Longhorn.
Fitting that I just upgraded the gpu in my own win98 machine. From a gefore2 mx 200 to a ATI 7500. Got the drivers from Phil’s Computer lab, great resource. Glad you got yours working finally
The fun thing about SSDs is that they use the SATA interface, like anything from the past 15 years. It's a shame the windows 98 pc doesn't have SATA but even with an adapter, it's amazing how you can fit the latest hardware and the fastest possible drives (excluding NVMe of course) in a pc that was made years ago
Quick recap recreation: someone sent him an FX 5200, and it got damaged while shipping. When he asked the donator, It was apparently overclocked, so he tried to re-flash it, but he did it wrong and ended up bricking the old GPU.

Thank God you finally upgraded the gpu!!! If you ever wondered why the integrated gpu caused so many problems such as low res, low colour depth images or things not displaying properly, that's because the VESA compatibility in the integrated gpu is crap!!! To put it simply, VESA compatibility allows an OS to run at resolutions higher than VGA res without graphics drivers installed. By the year 2000 most GPUs where compatible with VESA 3.0. With VESA 3 this is how you are able to see the typical Windows 7 boot screen, the "Windows is loading files.." text in higher 1024x768 res instead of 80x25 text mode and also when you boot into Windows XP or newer with no Graphics Drivers, you can run in 800x600 and higher in 16 or 32bit colour depth. Intel's graphics however where stuck on VESA 2.0 until the GMA 950 which only allows 640x480 in 4bit (16 colours) colour depth without dedicated graphics drivers. If it was up to me I would have changed the GPU on day 1 of having that PC for better compatability!! By the way your channel is awesome!!!!

Hey Michael! I would recommend that you install the monitor's driver, because this is a 75hz model right? The driver includes the driver .inf file and a color profile. Maybe this would be helpful and maybe it looks nicer on camera then ( i don't know much about video recording, but i think it's helpful. (I use a similar monitor for my Vista PC project, so i know that there is a driver for that)
75 Hz might seem better, but I don't think it is. I would keep the monitor at 60 Hz, because it will look just as fine while being less cpu and gpu heavy. Also - I think - videos in 30 or 60 Hz might look better if your monitor is actually 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz
Man, I love this stuff..brings back so much. My first laptop was a.. well.. kinda forgot the manufacturer. It was a odd ball I bought off a friend of mine... I remember it had a single core Intel Celeron M, 512MB DDR2 RAM, and S3 Graphics! It came with Windows XP installed.. I later upgraded it to Vista to find it didn't look as nice as other computers with Vista or 7 installed with the transparency and all.. the 64MB of VRam just couldn't do it. Tried registry edits and everything to no avail. Crazy stuff.. but I did learn that Ubuntu will allow transparency on ANYTHING... but this "Extended Life Linux" OS I got ahold of that claimed to be able to make any old computer carry out day to day functions really made the most of that system.. still wasn't enough for the larger Halo:CE maps. Haha

Michael please install the most beautiful and stabled Microsoft OS ever released, to enjoy it with the GPU and drivers installed. I'm talking about Windows 2000 of course!
@mjd This vid is a party of recognition, as I did all of your upgrades myself. But I do have to disappoint you on the performance of an ssd over IDE. It did not feel any better to me than an HDD. Kind regards
Did you try to put 2x512MB sticks in? I know a lot of PCS only say so much RAM but that's because that's all that was available back then when they were produced but lots can really support more
The first computer I built from scratch included a Geforce FX 5200 card. I thought it was a pretty good card at the time. Something about being the cheapest card at the time that would run DX9 IIRC.
I still have a computer with win98 because at that time I bought extensive software called "Astrostar" with approx 20 plugins that are installed with floppy disks. On later versions like WinXP this software doesn't run. So I think it only makes sense to still run win98 when using it for some work that cannot be done with win10?
Looking forward to what's to come with the 98 PC. I'd love to hear more about the 64-bit and x64 editions of XP, I feel like I knew about them, but never acknowledged them lol

I remember it had a single core Intel Celeron M, 512MB DDR2 RAM, and S3 Graphics! It came with Windows XP installed.. I later upgraded it to Vista to find it didn't look as nice as other computers with Vista or 7 installed with the transparency and all.. the 64MB of VRam just couldn't do it. Tried registry edits and everything to no avail. Crazy stuff.. but I did learn that Ubuntu will allow transparency on ANYTHING... but this "Extended Life Linux" OS I got ahold of that claimed to be able to make any old computer carry out day to day functions really made the most of that system.. still wasn't enough for the larger Halo:CE maps. Haha
These kept getting recommend to me, I decided to finally check it out and it was so worth it.👍
I would recommend using a utility like Auto-Patcher for Windows 98 to ensure that your installation of Windows 98 is as updated as possible.
I love your editing :) Great video as always, always fun to watch.
i love how the auto generated captions can perfectly transcribe his voice
I was waiting for this
same
Maybe it’s broken or something, but why did you bother switching the front plates when you could have just have just installed the beige dvd drive into the computer?
The beige one is...somewhat broken
16:04 - I think I have those exact speakers... minus the left one since I don't know where it is at my father's house... somewhere....
Michael please install the most beautiful and stabled Microsoft OS ever released, to enjoy it with the GPU and drivers installed. I'm talking about Windows 2000 of course!
@ 6:57, I got the same error when trying to run vista installer from CD/DVD/USB on a Dell Latitude D630. Is there anything I could do?
man, the editing! i love it! i am down for a kalibrios video :)
Micheal MJD: *trying to install a gpu*
TH-cam: Hard disk drives
Maybe you can try multi booting (atleast try) all of the nt versions of windows? Starting from 3.50/3.51 and ending on windows 7
Apple : Meh...
20:55 By the time you upgrade the motherboard though you’re really starting to get into Ship of Theseus territory
I would love a video about the 64-bit Edition and Professional x64 Edition. I really wanna know more about development and also naming reasons.
@mjd This vid is a party of recognition, as I did all of your upgrades myself. But I do have to disappoint you on the performance of an ssd over IDE. It did not feel any better to me than an HDD. Kind regards
Did you try to put 2x512MB sticks in? I know a lot of PCS only say so much RAM but that's because that's all that was available back then when they were produced but lots can really support more

Mjd: Looks like the virus subscription is *SLIGHTLY* out of date
The first computer I built from scratch included a Geforce FX 5200 card. I thought it was a pretty good card at the time. Something about being the cheapest card at the time that would run DX9 IIRC.
The Windows XP x64 future vid sounds good! Great video by the way
I still have a computer with win98 because at that time I bought extensive software called "Astrostar" with approx 20 plugins that are installed with floppy disks. On later versions like WinXP this software doesn't run. So I think it only makes sense to still run win98 when using it for some work that cannot be done with win10?
Looking forward to what's to come with the 98 PC. I'd love to hear more about the 64-bit and x64 editions of XP, I feel like I knew about them, but never acknowledged them lol
Nobody called a graphics card a "gpu" back then.
I'm convinced that something goes wrong in every Michael MJD video.
The most amazing thing about this video is Michael actually got hold of a GPU.
Samsung 970 EVO is a nvme drive. You cannot plug it into a sata expansion card. You have to buy 860 evo to have a data interface.
Very Kool video. I love the older machines and just bought a retro dell 4000 to run rocket jockey on win 95 or 98.
What resolution is the PC at now? 1280x960?
8:18 Reminds me of "From the people that brought you "New Folder" & "New Folder 2" bring you "New Folder 3" " XD
