This is extreme overkill for a Windows 98 PC seeing as the 1GHz barrier was just broken at the end of Windows 98’s life. The motherboard also has onboard Ethernet with Windows 98 drivers, so I won’t be needing a network card. This provides a lot of options for connecting period hardware with all the convenience of USB 2.0. While Windows 98 doesn’t support PCI-Express, it could come in handy in the future.Įxternally, it has four USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 ports, and serial and parallel ports. Internally, it has four SATA 2 connectors, IDE and floppy controllers, two PCI slots, and one PCI-Express slot. I chose this motherboard because, obviously, it has Windows 98 drivers, and it has a lot of options for both internal and external expansion.
I am instead using the most powerful components I could find that still support Windows 98. Let it be known that I am not going for a period accurate build.
I want to relive that experience through building my ultimate Windows 98 gaming PC. My first experience playing video games was on a Windows 98 PC, playing games including Star Wars: Dark Forces, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and Doom.
