yes this is an inwin a500 case these cases usually go for an insane amount of money and the cable management inside is very good possibly the best i've ever seen on a beige case as the power supply cables hide in the back of the top of the case airflow isn't great, but it does have a front fan.
@@interlaced_maniac its able to take 486 style ram dimms and sdram together and has a lot of ISA slots and its typically used for industrial/robotics applications, and can overclock nicely, unusual board, there isn't anything else that special about it its just not a easy to find one
Woaahaha! Really nice build and impressive editing. Love it! Now I kinda want to install Win98 on an SSD myself, too. I've only gone with "original" HDDs so far. They're not fast, to put it mildly. :D P.S. great choice of Retro music. :)
thank you, using the sata controller cards that have their own bios works pretty good, also I compose a good chunk of the music seen in the videos, but what I don't compose tends to be amiga mod files I throw in.
thank you c: yeah I plan to do another one of these that is even more extreme but due to win 98 losin support in 2006 due to microsoft really pushing XP it is difficult to get some of those final barely supporting 98 games like doom 3/half life 2 to run anymore, but the next one will be primarily for running things that are hyper demanding at the max settings, so if you can think of any games that either a. don't support windows 98, but can be made to run on it anyway or b. support ME/98 SE/98 and are demanding enough with max settings to justify me testing, let me know. also, any funding i get from this video/shirt sales will be used for that next video, as I do not have all the parts for that yet
How'd you manage to get that new keyboard to work on that old chunk of coal? Was it as simple as using a USB to P/S2 adapter or did you have to install some special drivers?
yes, vice city is actually windows 98 compatible and as long as your Graphics card is good it runs very smooth. It actually runs better on this 98 system than it did on my actual XP system back in 2004 which had a bullshit 2.4ghz celeron, ironically, that celeron runs slower than a 933mhz p3.
@@sridrawings4510 vice city wasn't on the dreamcast but in theory, possibly. segahub.org/index.php?topic=3238.0 you'd just need to run an older version, I don't think it would run fantastic though, they advise a 2.6ghz p4, which is on par with a 1.4ghz Tualatin p3; this system only has a 933mhz p3, which is 50% slower than that. so, sort of, it could probably run, but you'd want a newer card probably for the AGP slot and a faster cpu for slot 1.
been looking at some videos to see what pieces did they use for an optimal W98 pc for games. Voodoo 5 cards are hella expensive nowadays! Dat Gentle Breeze remix tho.
I think this is probably the most stable you can get a 98 system to be, i further updated it in the video after this one; the socket A athlon xp 3200+ does work for 98 too, but i'm unsure if its as good of a choice since there is no ISA and almost no win 98 game needs an athlon xp 3200+ for any reason lol, unless I consider minecraft a windows 98 game which, it isn't really.
I have a white corsair case around somewhere, they still make them, sadly they don't have CD or floppy bays anymore, but seeing as I mount 99% of games on this via VirtualCloneDrive as ISOs instead of CDs, the drive barely is used lol. Fractal Design though has a white case with cd bays, in theory one could put a 5 1/4 floppy in it this inwin a500 case is rare now and is very compact for the size
@@psychoticgiraffe If You like NFS4 check my addon city tracks for this game, Greetings Ps. what Nec white monitor model is it? and what background music, I know this melody but forget title, 80's tune?
@@psychoticgiraffe NEC are great monitors I have NEC AS242W 24 inches TN 16:9 and few days I bought (I can't find new one in 4:3) 5:4 iiyama prolite e1980sd for old games (mostly fps and classic 2d point and click adventures) and it is like time warp...I feel again like I was teenager :) Ps. Carless Whispers i love this track
I also have a WIndows 98 gaming pc, myself. It has a ASUS P2B-F motherboard, with a slot 1 Pentium 3 800 MHz CPU. I have two sound card for it, which is an ISA Sound Blaster AWE32 with 32MB of SIMM memory. The other sound card is an Aureal Vortex 2 Superquad PCI. The system also has 256 MB of PC100 memory, and the video card is a 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP. The Voodoo 5 wasn't too expensive for me, but it still cost a pretty penny, but well worth it. I tend to run games on it from the early 90s all the way up to 2000. Any year higher, I just basically use my Windows XP machine. I also managed to get a Sidewinder control pad, for the PC. The Sidewinder is a great control pad, and I only wish I had one, back when I was a teenager.
HelghastMerc the nice thing about voodoo 2 sli is you can route a newer card through it as a primary and use the 3dfx only for 3dfx games, there is a voodoo 3 in the works that has a pass thru and power vr chipset in half of the card by a modder in development though
@@psychoticgiraffe I was actually thinking about getting a voodoo 2 for older Glide games, and use a Geforce 4 MX card (which is a beefed up Geforce 2) for most games. But I really wanted a Voodoo 5 not only to play games on Glide the fastest, fut also for Nostalgia. Oh, and I actually did hooked up a Geforce 4 MX 440 card and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, as an experiment to see how they perform. But I found that some old games, they only ran just slightly faster than the Voodoo 4 and 5. I think the CPU might be bottlenecking the cards, just by a tad. I may end up buying a Voodoo 2 anyway, just in case my Voodoo 5 fails sometime, in the future.
@@HelghastMerc the mx 440 is just a garbage card in my opinion, I see them go for like 5 dollars on ebay because nobody wants them I tested one of those on this pc and it would bottleneck worse than fx 5500; the bottleneck is caused by that cards controller I think? I use a Ti 4200 instead and I see significant gains. It is 50% faster on the system in the video above, its also a good dx8 card, hence why far cry ran properly. ati 9000 pro is bad card for asus boards that old, don't use that, mx 440 is also a bad card for that board the bottleneck isnt the card but the agp bus probably lowering down to 1x or something, prior to making this video i had to test a lot of other random cards with the board I found that the radeon 9000 series was just terrible on the asus p3b-f, so an asus p2b-f is probably not a good pairing. the radeon 9250 is the only one that i've seen some people have stability with on this board, and the 9700 pro, these are the only ones that I know work without major bottleneck, and with that said, on the 9700 there is a very big bottleneck, you just don't notice it because amd cards seem to choke cpus less than the nvidia ones, the 9000 is just a weak card, not actually a bottleneck on that, the 9250 has one though, but its marginal, note though that, I am comparing a slightly faster p3 here with my testing, and i have a faster version of the board you have, so, my results may be different but I don't think a 133mhz speed difference is going to cause huge bottlenecks I did test a 9700 and it worked but mine was burned out because those cards had a common defect where the die was too far from the chip and it cooked or something so, ie: the fastest card you MIGHT be able to run is a 9700 pro, otherwise, Ti 4600/ 980 XGL quadro I also did try a GT 6600 256mb, very bad time, don't use that either. and a 6200 512mb, very bad pairing as well the card had too much vram so it would glitch out, however, it ran halo really nice until it crashes the pc a 6200 256mb passive card would probably work pretty good though, if you needed shader model 3 for some reason. but I think i am happiest with the config in the video because the geforce 4 ti series seems to run with the least cpu bottleneck to performance hit however, in your case, you've got a slower board and a slower cpu, I might suggest going Geforce 3 Ti perhaps the geforce 2 is a bit underwhelming unless its an ultra.
thank you yeah this case is still being used, i actually swapped the guts though, now its running XP 32 bit with a GTX 460 and core 2 duo e6600, but all the floppy drives work w the board still and it can downclock for DOS while using the 3dfx so it worked out
I remember watching you on another account, I completely forgot about you. Until I wondered, “What happened to that giraffe pc, guy?” Shit, I didn’t think I’d find you again. Better then I remember.
I upped my specs so now things look more crazy in the videos than before, Ryzen 9 3900x, 64gb DDR4 3200 dominator corsair rgb ram, RTX 2080; I would up my specs even more but funding isn't that high for my channel, and with the covid thing, can't do much about it. If people throw money at me though, i'll go even harder than I did in this video mic drop. I was considering setting up a patreon but I don't think my base is as alive as it once was so I would be shocked if anyone even wanted to help me out, shirt sales are minimal as well, although, I've gotten more orders due to covid for some reason.
I only use copyrighted music if the author allows revenue sharing, or if I cover the track on my synthesizer collection, which is fair use generally, tracks with revenue share dont generally show that it is copyrighted, so you are fair game to use the track, just expect it to say "revenue sharing" half of the tracks in the video are covers or original pieces though, I use a dave smith prophet rev 2 and a juno 106 and a dx7 I'm curious which track you pointed out though, let me know the timestamp
Do you know somewhere good to find a vintage computer case for less than 100$? There is some on eBay, but they have only 4 or less card slots, and my Mobo has 6 card slots.
during the covid thing finding these beige cases for that price is very hard; before I would go to goodwill or a recycling/e waste center, I suppose if you're gutsy enough you could go to a goodwill wearing a hazmat suit and see the gigantic piles of stuff people piled at the door while they are closed, but, do so at your own risk. the case in the video is an inwin a500, which is one of the best cases from 1995, you'll have to dig, however, possibly reach out to the retro machines group on facebook
thank you, yeah I just got carried away with the new Ryzen 9 3900X and 64gb ram in my pc and saw that I could literally render the whole video in 11 minutes even with me punishing the cpu with layers upon layers of insane effects
@@psychoticgiraffe some of them were pretty cool. But I think like shots of stuff INSIDE the PC, I think if you kept it like clear, or at least, minimally toughed up, it'd help people to see whats going on, what you're working with, etc.
Hello buddy can you tell me what name of game is at 9:58 ? I remeber I'v played this game on 98 Machine in shool at IT but i can't remeber the name of this game .
Hi, stumbled upon this video and recently shared it on fb as well. Have the same mobo, almost same specs here. (500Mhz PIII, 512MB SDRAM, Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, and 4200 Nvidia TI). Question 🙋: How did you connect the wired keyboard? Using USB2PS2 adapter? Or straight into the motherboard's USB port? If you connected it using first option I guess it is also detected in DOS based games right? (launching games from MS-DOS environment)? Thanks!
@@psychoticgiraffe that is an intel board, intel website no longer carries vintage drivers, surely you had to install some drivers also how come you didnt go into detail about how you got an SSD to work? many many people have struggled with this.. if this worked that well, it would have been beneficial to everyone on how you did it.
Michael Perugini 440BX is the greatest chipset for Windows 98, it’s almost totally plug n play, the only drivers I needed to obtain were the chipset driver for the asus p3b-f which is hosted on asus website and the bios update which is also there, and the generic usb mass storage driver, which isn’t actually needed but makes usb speeds faster and reliability better. The sound card driver is easy to find online, the tx150 sata controller driver was also easy to find online, and the wmp45g WiFi card driver is based on which rev (4.0 or 1.1) that you have and can be found also easily online. Asus has very good legacy motherboard driver support on their website
Michael Perugini as for the SSD there was no magic needed to make it work, I literally just stuffed it in, ran fdisk to format the whole thing and then put my windows disc in and it formatted it again. If I do a follow up I will show more of the software side and less of the building side to educate people who aren’t sure about stuff like that; good notice. I just skipped it on this one because all the drivers were very easily obtained, the voodoo drivers are still on a 3dfx site, and Phil’s computer lab site, and the Nvidia drivers are still hosted on Nvidia site, linksys still hosted the WiFi driver, etc
Michael Perugini with all the said, the bios on this motherboard is absurdly complicated and I left most of that stuff at defaults because detailing how it works in a video would be hours
There were some very colorful keyboards in the 90s w crazy color schemes but none that did what mine did, yes are right getting the exact pair was a challenge and the price I got is half what they go for now
ya know whats weird? i have the same case, motherboard, cpu, and gpu in about the same build that my uncle gave me from his college days. its kinda killer ngl. sick video dude keep up that 90s aesthetic!
Wow I love it, well done! I would love to do something like this but wouldn’t know where to start on anything older than Windows 7 in terms of hardware needed for games at the time.
We have a discord that shows how to do this stuff and has online events w real and modern hardware check this video in its entirety to get up to steam on the game events side, and join the discord if you ever wanted assistance with building or etc ruclips.net/video/oa1NOBWIhHw/видео.html
Which time stamp was it? I put so many tracks that I have unreleased into this vid that I don’t even know, but patreons gain access to my library of unreleased tracks, my released tracks can be found online under psychotic giraffe or giraffe squad though
@@psychoticgiraffe first card was a voodoo5 5500 with the latest raziel evolution drivers. From what I've read, voodoo cards don't support t&l which halo requires. The other card is a geforce 2 gts 32mb with latest supported on nvidias site. Only thing I've read is the game disables cubemaps when hardware is too low spec, but not sure if that's true. Runs the game pretty good despite graphics either missing or appearing incorrectly. Funny that there was an early ad about the power of the gts being able to play halo. I have yet to try my savage 4 card. The game also runs a lot better on windows 2000 compared to 98
@@Cicada_Lullaby I use a geforce 4/750 XGl quadro, voodoo 5 isn’t supposed to even run halo so it running at all is a feat. Geforce 2 Mx doesn’t bug out for me with latest driver, I suspect your card has problems, but I do not have a GTS, so it’s not apples to apples
@@psychoticgiraffe looks like I'll need to upgrade. Geforce 2 doesn't support the more fancy effects so they're disabled. I'll probably use the same card that you used. Another question is did you use the voodoo and geforce 4 together? I would think there would be issues, or you would have to switch vga cables depending on which one
Nice rig and video dude I really liked it :) I used the same "trick" in order to be able to run Glide games for my dream machine from 1999 (and a bit before, you'll see why) which is built with an Abit BE6-II, P-III 800EB with slotket adapter, Geforce256 DDR, 256MB Crucial PC133 CL2 (clearly enough in my experience considering the rest of the components because I still have this rig since 6-8 months) + Voodoo2 SLI, Aureal Vortex 2 and Soundblaster AWE64, an Intel 100/10 ethernet card and also an SSD but 240GB from Kingston (recognised fine). I used previously a SoundBlaster Live! but after trying for the first time A3D 2.0 which is specific to the Aureal Vortex 2 I can only say it's really really good for my ears :p but clearly more appropriate for games circa 1996-2000 :) I would even say it's a bit better to have A3D sound than Glide graphics though I know I may be a sacrilege for some :p I also have several P3B-F it's a nice board but I like a bit more the Abit one because of its bios settings especially FSB settings that are more granular than those in the P3B-F. I found recently that some folk over Vogons made a custom bios for it, maybe you should try it (tested also by myself with PIII and VIA C3 CPUs a week ago, no issues so far): www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=69345 BTW what type of Geforce4 ti did you use ? A Ti 4200 ?
Ti 4200, I'm probably going to end up replacing it with a 6600 GT just for some added fps in doom 3 and far cry, Also, the Aureal Vortex 2 is great, I have an Aureal Vortex 1, and then some Santa Cruz turtle beach sound cards, a labtech ISA soundcard that has a yamaha fm chip in it and wavetable(peculiar), and a large assortment of unused sound cards, half of which are just different variations of the sb live.
@@psychoticgiraffe I see, interesting :) Then I hope you'll do a follow-up video ;) btw I'm pretty sure that you'll have to get a better CPU to get better fps in these games. I never tested these "modern" games on a powerful Pentium III Tualatin but this is the only route to get the best performance (without replacing the mobo) even though you can(should ? IDK) adapt the resolution etc. to get the best performance out of it, You aroused my curiosity. I'm eager to see how it performs
@@kami4542 far cry as u see in the video actually can run pretty good, the p3 933 is just barely enough to run at 30-40 fps but with a 6600 gt, it'll be far higher or at least hit 60, doom 3 is GPU limited, you'd be surprised. sonic heroes in my video here is pretty new compared to the others (2005) a tualatin setup with two p3s can actually run minecraft, its just enough power to do that smoothly.
@@psychoticgiraffe That's great !! I never thought it would run at that kind of speed and didn't know that Doom 3 was that much GPU limited. Maybe I should try one day... but only if I upgrade the graphics card as it is quite old for this game and has only 32MB of VRAM :p thank you for the information
IDE to SATA adapters are one way, in this one I use a PCI Sata controller card tx150 that has drivers for 98 to run the install; theres a list of stuff in the description on it, in another video I use an m.2 ssd
yes, if parts purchased all at time of release, similar prebuilts would've gone for 3000 but this has an SSD, they did exist back then but the SSD honestly would've probably made this cost a million dollars due to its size back in this time period. I do have a retro SSD laying around, but its only 2gb, and would've cost a shitton back then.
Great Windows 98 Machine! My specs are : P3 700 512 MB RAM NV FX5200 AGP 256 MB VRAM 40 GB HDD. Not have a 3DFX Voodoo 3 and Solid State Drive in my Win98 build maybe later when I found a 3DFX Voodoo 3 in the thrift store or somewhere else. but 3DFX Video Cards are hard to find this days.
MichaelComputerBoy 3DFX is very rare yes, in the video though I switch between voodoo cards, I ended up going with geforce 4 ti and 2 3dfx voodoo 2 12mb in SLI for a machine capable of everything in the 98 timeline down to 2006
nice i enjoy this retro w98 install videos. that was the time that computer was meant to do: text process, some math on excel and etc. you should be good programmer if you want to do some more.
thank you, yes I think it is nice to have retro build that has parts within the realm before the EOL was hit, a system you could've owned at the time(albeit a stupidly fast version of it) more so than when I force modern ish hardware to run an OS, though I did an XP system with a Titan X
Music Maniac the pairing of cpu and gpu and voodoo 2 sli is fast enough to run everything here at 1024x768 with decent settings, often high/max aside from halo
USB C to USB cable that comes with it works, however, I had some random generic bluetooth dongle from mitsumi laying around that was usable with the keyboard; bluetooth however is a huge pain to configure in windows 98 because so many of the dongles require mangling drivers; so find one that is much older if you plan to use it bluetooth; otherwise with the cable it was just fine with functioning, its an rk71, probably the best cheap white rgb mechanical keyboard i've seen
@@mister_mess this keyboard in specific does not by default, there may possibly be a way to set it into BIOS mode to do that but I haven't attempted that as it didn't work by default. on some CORSAIR keyboards you can set them into a BIOS mode that I believe MAY be able to convert to PS/2, however they generally are not wireless so I didn't bother.
Me gustó mucho este proyecto de combinar hardware moderno con vintage y ese monitor LCD que es padre de muchos TN, IPS y VA en colores junto al teclado gamer.
@@razvan.iulian.1990 some of those later games really need a better card, I use the voodoo 2 sli for glide games only, and the geforce 4 ti for dx8/dx9 and games that don’t do glide
I can't take up the space or risk the dollars of running voodoo cards much in a time machine build, I prefer just going with nglide. I wish nglide would support the voodoo 4/5 level of features but I don't have anything but a couple voodoo 3 cards anyways so I personally am not losing anything and gaining some post processing effects.
nglide is far inferior to real glide, tbh the closest to a real voodoo that I've seen is actually present with PCEM; not nglide nor dgvoodoo. However, I do have another video coming up that will showcase why you should get a windows 98 laptop; also, I recently discovered that they made external GPU solutions that you could use via the PCMCIA slot on a 98 laptop, they are rather rare, but they make the size issue of a desktop go away and allow you to plug a voodoo 2 into your laptop. Another note, if you ever want to play 90s games online again, I have a discord in the description
true, but the geforce 4 ti 4200 would not have reaped the benefits of that cpu, and a 3ghz pentium 4 is roughly on par with a 1400mhz pentium 3 unless its on socket 775 (surprisingly, the tualatin at 1.4ghz does a pretty insane job, in the benchmarks it is matching the much higher clocked p4) I didn't want to break DOS compatibility etc, and found that this was more stable, I tried using a Socket 754 system before this with a similar config and it would have some horrible crashing instability, which i'm sure there is a way to patch, but it wasn't worth it. Now, you could argue that I could go core 2 duo/quad with like the final AGP motherboard, but it is a diminshing return for running these games, and I wanted it to be kind of authentic-ish and 440bx is a very nice chipset if I find a TUV4X though and a tualatin 1.4ghz the board may potentially go in, but i've been hard pressed for that and nobody has donated one to me and probably won't due to rarity. graphics card wise I do have a Quadro 750 XGL 128mb i could throw in
classic case, you can still find a few on ebay sometimes, but they cost 200 dollars now, i was just lucky any got this one for 10 bucks with some really rare robotics motherboard in it that i didn't use for this build at all because it was too old
I think I'll build one, but I have to do it on the cheap so that means no Voodoo. I might try a FX 5500 instead those are cheap. There is a glide wrapper thing. CPU will be a Celeron 1GHZ on 512Mb SD-RAM 133. I have a retro case, Coolermaster ATC 200 but it's in really poor condition. Though that might actually add to the charm. Then again we have PCEM! So I don't know/
I would advise getting a Geforce 4 Ti of some sort instead of an FX or getting an FX 5700/5600 just because the 5500 chokes in some titles in the video
I have Halo, I play it on a high end Windows XP computer I built, I have two Windows 98 PC's, one with a Nvidia FX5700 running on a P4 that utilizes nGlide, the other computer is built around a Monster 3dfx Voodoo 1. Games like Halo, Serious Sam, Far Cry, and many others require a really good PC to do them justice, this computer is not one of those machines!
halo actually runs pretty well on hardware like this, this does do it justice, what didn't was actually my real rig in 2004 that had a potato celeron and no gpu using intel extreme graphics 2, it got a lot worse fps than this, which is crazy to think, I was getting worse fps on halo when it was new than this outdated rig
sonic heroes is a really badly optimized DX9 title, it runs like ass on some modern systems, but runs really good on specific older system configurations. The geforce 4 is close to what was in the original xbox and the pentium 3 933/1ghz is faster than the original Xbox, since sonic heroes was on the xbox it seems like the port is roughly similar to that one in requirements; its a pretty high end 98 system.
this pc can run things up to 2006 for the most part, i upgraded it to run things older as well in a later video, it can run 5 1/4 floppys now from like the 80s and pretty much anything for dos or windows from then until 2006

What? Vice city can able to run on win 98?
yes, vice city is actually windows 98 compatible and as long as your Graphics card is good it runs very smooth. It actually runs better on this 98 system than it did on my actual XP system back in 2004 which had a bullshit 2.4ghz celeron, ironically, that celeron runs slower than a 933mhz p3.
@@sridrawings4510 vice city wasn't on the dreamcast but in theory, possibly. segahub.org/index.php?topic=3238.0
you'd just need to run an older version, I don't think it would run fantastic though, they advise a 2.6ghz p4, which is on par with a 1.4ghz Tualatin p3; this system only has a 933mhz p3, which is 50% slower than that. so, sort of, it could probably run, but you'd want a newer card probably for the AGP slot and a faster cpu for slot 1.
Amazing retro build and great video! I'm going to take not of some of those games to try on my build. Cheers man!
been looking at some videos to see what pieces did they use for an optimal W98 pc for games. Voodoo 5 cards are hella expensive nowadays!
Dat Gentle Breeze remix tho.
I think this is probably the most stable you can get a 98 system to be, i further updated it in the video after this one; the socket A athlon xp 3200+ does work for 98 too, but i'm unsure if its as good of a choice since there is no ISA and almost no win 98 game needs an athlon xp 3200+ for any reason lol, unless I consider minecraft a windows 98 game which, it isn't really.
WoW, Love it, Nice work 👍.
thank you
How did you find a Windows version of Power Pete/Mighty Mike!?
I'm actually running basilisk ii on the beige pc in the video to run power pete, it actually runs very well on pentium 3s at high enough clock speeds
White big pc cases must back !!! great pc and classic games
I have a white corsair case around somewhere, they still make them, sadly they don't have CD or floppy bays anymore, but seeing as I mount 99% of games on this via VirtualCloneDrive as ISOs instead of CDs, the drive barely is used lol.
Fractal Design though has a white case with cd bays, in theory one could put a 5 1/4 floppy in it
this inwin a500 case is rare now and is very compact for the size

I also have a WIndows 98 gaming pc, myself. It has a ASUS P2B-F motherboard, with a slot 1 Pentium 3 800 MHz CPU. I have two sound card for it, which is an ISA Sound Blaster AWE32 with 32MB of SIMM memory. The other sound card is an Aureal Vortex 2 Superquad PCI. The system also has 256 MB of PC100 memory, and the video card is a 3DFX Voodoo 5 5500 AGP. The Voodoo 5 wasn't too expensive for me, but it still cost a pretty penny, but well worth it. I tend to run games on it from the early 90s all the way up to 2000. Any year higher, I just basically use my Windows XP machine. I also managed to get a Sidewinder control pad, for the PC. The Sidewinder is a great control pad, and I only wish I had one, back when I was a teenager.
HelghastMerc the nice thing about voodoo 2 sli is you can route a newer card through it as a primary and use the 3dfx only for 3dfx games, there is a voodoo 3 in the works that has a pass thru and power vr chipset in half of the card by a modder in development though
@@psychoticgiraffe I was actually thinking about getting a voodoo 2 for older Glide games, and use a Geforce 4 MX card (which is a beefed up Geforce 2) for most games. But I really wanted a Voodoo 5 not only to play games on Glide the fastest, fut also for Nostalgia. Oh, and I actually did hooked up a Geforce 4 MX 440 card and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, as an experiment to see how they perform. But I found that some old games, they only ran just slightly faster than the Voodoo 4 and 5. I think the CPU might be bottlenecking the cards, just by a tad. I may end up buying a Voodoo 2 anyway, just in case my Voodoo 5 fails sometime, in the future.
@@HelghastMerc the mx 440 is just a garbage card in my opinion, I see them go for like 5 dollars on ebay because nobody wants them
I tested one of those on this pc and it would bottleneck worse than fx 5500; the bottleneck is caused by that cards controller I think? I use a Ti 4200 instead and I see significant gains. It is 50% faster on the system in the video above, its also a good dx8 card, hence why far cry ran properly.
ati 9000 pro is bad card for asus boards that old, don't use that, mx 440 is also a bad card for that board
the bottleneck isnt the card but the agp bus probably lowering down to 1x or something, prior to making this video i had to test a lot of other random cards with the board
I found that the radeon 9000 series was just terrible on the asus p3b-f, so an asus p2b-f is probably not a good pairing.
the radeon 9250 is the only one that i've seen some people have stability with on this board, and the 9700 pro, these are the only ones that I know work without major bottleneck, and with that said, on the 9700 there is a very big bottleneck, you just don't notice it because amd cards seem to choke cpus less than the nvidia ones, the 9000 is just a weak card, not actually a bottleneck on that, the 9250 has one though, but its marginal, note though that, I am comparing a slightly faster p3 here with my testing, and i have a faster version of the board you have, so, my results may be different but I don't think a 133mhz speed difference is going to cause huge bottlenecks
I did test a 9700 and it worked but mine was burned out because those cards had a common defect where the die was too far from the chip and it cooked or something
so, ie: the fastest card you MIGHT be able to run is a 9700 pro, otherwise, Ti 4600/ 980 XGL quadro
I also did try a GT 6600 256mb, very bad time, don't use that either.
and a 6200 512mb, very bad pairing as well
the card had too much vram so it would glitch out, however, it ran halo really nice until it crashes the pc
a 6200 256mb passive card would probably work pretty good though, if you needed shader model 3 for some reason.
but I think i am happiest with the config in the video because the geforce 4 ti series seems to run with the least cpu bottleneck to performance hit
however, in your case, you've got a slower board and a slower cpu, I might suggest going Geforce 3 Ti perhaps
the geforce 2 is a bit underwhelming unless its an ultra.
I like the monitor and the case. 😃
thank you yeah this case is still being used, i actually swapped the guts though, now its running XP 32 bit with a GTX 460 and core 2 duo e6600, but all the floppy drives work w the board still and it can downclock for DOS while using the 3dfx so it worked out
you are a legend

I remember watching you on another account, I completely forgot about you. Until I wondered, “What happened to that giraffe pc, guy?” Shit, I didn’t think I’d find you again. Better then I remember.
I upped my specs so now things look more crazy in the videos than before, Ryzen 9 3900x, 64gb DDR4 3200 dominator corsair rgb ram, RTX 2080; I would up my specs even more but funding isn't that high for my channel, and with the covid thing, can't do much about it. If people throw money at me though, i'll go even harder than I did in this video mic drop. I was considering setting up a patreon but I don't think my base is as alive as it once was so I would be shocked if anyone even wanted to help me out, shirt sales are minimal as well, although, I've gotten more orders due to covid for some reason.
That music is copyrighted, but, it is not showing up in the description as such. 🤔
I only use copyrighted music if the author allows revenue sharing, or if I cover the track on my synthesizer collection, which is fair use generally, tracks with revenue share dont generally show that it is copyrighted, so you are fair game to use the track, just expect it to say "revenue sharing"

Do you know somewhere good to find a vintage computer case for less than 100$? There is some on eBay, but they have only 4 or less card slots, and my Mobo has 6 card slots.

Hi, stumbled upon this video and recently shared it on fb as well. Have the same mobo, almost same specs here. (500Mhz PIII, 512MB SDRAM, Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, and 4200 Nvidia TI). Question 🙋: How did you connect the wired keyboard? Using USB2PS2 adapter? Or straight into the motherboard's USB port? If you connected it using first option I guess it is also detected in DOS based games right? (launching games from MS-DOS environment)? Thanks!
the usb c keyboard works via regular usb in DOS due to the bios emulating ps/2 properly
5:17 name of that music ?

awesome video!! What is the NEC Syncmaster model you had in the video?
NEC MultiSync LCD1530v
psychoticgiraffe thank you :)
but you didnt explain where you got the drivers
which drivers
@@psychoticgiraffe that is an intel board, intel website no longer carries vintage drivers, surely you had to install some drivers
also how come you didnt go into detail about how you got an SSD to work? many many people have struggled with this.. if this worked that well, it would have been beneficial to everyone on how you did it.
Michael Perugini 440BX is the greatest chipset for Windows 98, it’s almost totally plug n play, the only drivers I needed to obtain were the chipset driver for the asus p3b-f which is hosted on asus website and the bios update which is also there, and the generic usb mass storage driver, which isn’t actually needed but makes usb speeds faster and reliability better. The sound card driver is easy to find online, the tx150 sata controller driver was also easy to find online, and the wmp45g WiFi card driver is based on which rev (4.0 or 1.1) that you have and can be found also easily online. Asus has very good legacy motherboard driver support on their website
Michael Perugini as for the SSD there was no magic needed to make it work, I literally just stuffed it in, ran fdisk to format the whole thing and then put my windows disc in and it formatted it again. If I do a follow up I will show more of the software side and less of the building side to educate people who aren’t sure about stuff like that; good notice. I just skipped it on this one because all the drivers were very easily obtained, the voodoo drivers are still on a 3dfx site, and Phil’s computer lab site, and the Nvidia drivers are still hosted on Nvidia site, linksys still hosted the WiFi driver, etc
Michael Perugini with all the said, the bios on this motherboard is absurdly complicated and I left most of that stuff at defaults because detailing how it works in a video would be hours

ya know whats weird? i have the same case, motherboard, cpu, and gpu in about the same build that my uncle gave me from his college days. its kinda killer ngl. sick video dude keep up that 90s aesthetic!
Are you using a USB to PS2 adapter on the keyboard? Otherwise, does it gets recognized in BIOS? Thanks!
just straight usb, the usb ps2 adapters are not always the way to go on these newer keyboards

Did halo ce have graphical glitches on that hardware? I tried 2 different gpus, both having glitches in the game
No. What drivers and what cards?
@@psychoticgiraffe first card was a voodoo5 5500 with the latest raziel evolution drivers. From what I've read, voodoo cards don't support t&l which halo requires. The other card is a geforce 2 gts 32mb with latest supported on nvidias site. Only thing I've read is the game disables cubemaps when hardware is too low spec, but not sure if that's true. Runs the game pretty good despite graphics either missing or appearing incorrectly. Funny that there was an early ad about the power of the gts being able to play halo. I have yet to try my savage 4 card. The game also runs a lot better on windows 2000 compared to 98
@@Cicada_Lullaby I use a geforce 4/750 XGl quadro, voodoo 5 isn’t supposed to even run halo so it running at all is a feat.

@@Cicada_Lullaby yes the v2 has passthru
Nice rig and video dude I really liked it :) I used the same "trick" in order to be able to run Glide games for my dream machine from 1999 (and a bit before, you'll see why) which is built with an Abit BE6-II, P-III 800EB with slotket adapter, Geforce256 DDR, 256MB Crucial PC133 CL2 (clearly enough in my experience considering the rest of the components because I still have this rig since 6-8 months) + Voodoo2 SLI, Aureal Vortex 2 and Soundblaster AWE64, an Intel 100/10 ethernet card and also an SSD but 240GB from Kingston (recognised fine). I used previously a SoundBlaster Live! but after trying for the first time A3D 2.0 which is specific to the Aureal Vortex 2 I can only say it's really really good for my ears :p but clearly more appropriate for games circa 1996-2000 :) I would even say it's a bit better to have A3D sound than Glide graphics though I know I may be a sacrilege for some :p
I also have several P3B-F it's a nice board but I like a bit more the Abit one because of its bios settings especially FSB settings that are more granular than those in the P3B-F. I found recently that some folk over Vogons made a custom bios for it, maybe you should try it (tested also by myself with PIII and VIA C3 CPUs a week ago, no issues so far): www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=69345
BTW what type of Geforce4 ti did you use ? A Ti 4200 ?
Ti 4200, I'm probably going to end up replacing it with a 6600 GT just for some added fps in doom 3 and far cry, Also, the Aureal Vortex 2 is great, I have an Aureal Vortex 1, and then some Santa Cruz turtle beach sound cards, a labtech ISA soundcard that has a yamaha fm chip in it and wavetable(peculiar), and a large assortment of unused sound cards, half of which are just different variations of the sb live.
@@psychoticgiraffe I see, interesting :) Then I hope you'll do a follow-up video ;) btw I'm pretty sure that you'll have to get a better CPU to get better fps in these games. I never tested these "modern" games on a powerful Pentium III Tualatin but this is the only route to get the best performance (without replacing the mobo) even though you can(should ? IDK) adapt the resolution etc. to get the best performance out of it, You aroused my curiosity. I'm eager to see how it performs
@@kami4542 far cry as u see in the video actually can run pretty good, the p3 933 is just barely enough to run at 30-40 fps but with a 6600 gt, it'll be far higher or at least hit 60, doom 3 is GPU limited, you'd be surprised. sonic heroes in my video here is pretty new compared to the others (2005)

Where did you buy the speakers?
ebay, they are altec lansing speakers meant for a gateway 2000 system i think
So does the current date project64 emulator I can find right now work on windows 98? or do I need to find a different version? if it exists
seems like it does but if it doesnt just use the one from zophars domain
This was a 4K dollar computer back then?
yes, if parts purchased all at time of release, similar prebuilts would've gone for 3000 but this has an SSD, they did exist back then but the SSD honestly would've probably made this cost a million dollars due to its size back in this time period. I do have a retro SSD laying around, but its only 2gb, and would've cost a shitton back then.

Wait how are you running these games?
Music Maniac the pairing of cpu and gpu and voodoo 2 sli is fast enough to run everything here at 1024x768 with decent settings, often high/max aside from halo
Nice vid! How do you connect the RK61 to the PC?
USB C to USB cable that comes with it works, however, I had some random generic bluetooth dongle from mitsumi laying around that was usable with the keyboard; bluetooth however is a huge pain to configure in windows 98 because so many of the dongles require mangling drivers; so find one that is much older if you plan to use it bluetooth; otherwise with the cable it was just fine with functioning, its an rk71, probably the best cheap white rgb mechanical keyboard i've seen

I can't take up the space or risk the dollars of running voodoo cards much in a time machine build, I prefer just going with nglide. I wish nglide would support the voodoo 4/5 level of features but I don't have anything but a couple voodoo 3 cards anyways so I personally am not losing anything and gaining some post processing effects.
nglide is far inferior to real glide, tbh the closest to a real voodoo that I've seen is actually present with PCEM; not nglide nor dgvoodoo. However, I do have another video coming up that will showcase why you should get a windows 98 laptop; also, I recently discovered that they made external GPU solutions that you could use via the PCMCIA slot on a 98 laptop, they are rather rare, but they make the size issue of a desktop go away and allow you to plug a voodoo 2 into your laptop. Another note, if you ever want to play 90s games online again, I have a discord in the description
You could have used a 3GHz Pentium 4
true, but the geforce 4 ti 4200 would not have reaped the benefits of that cpu, and a 3ghz pentium 4 is roughly on par with a 1400mhz pentium 3 unless its on socket 775
(surprisingly, the tualatin at 1.4ghz does a pretty insane job, in the benchmarks it is matching the much higher clocked p4)
I didn't want to break DOS compatibility etc, and found that this was more stable, I tried using a Socket 754 system before this with a similar config and it would have some horrible crashing instability, which i'm sure there is a way to patch, but it wasn't worth it.
Now, you could argue that I could go core 2 duo/quad with like the final AGP motherboard, but it is a diminshing return for running these games, and I wanted it to be kind of authentic-ish and 440bx is a very nice chipset
if I find a TUV4X though and a tualatin 1.4ghz the board may potentially go in, but i've been hard pressed for that and nobody has donated one to me and probably won't due to rarity.

I think I'll build one, but I have to do it on the cheap so that means no Voodoo. I might try a FX 5500 instead those are cheap. There is a glide wrapper thing. CPU will be a Celeron 1GHZ on 512Mb SD-RAM 133. I have a retro case, Coolermaster ATC 200 but it's in really poor condition. Though that might actually add to the charm. Then again we have PCEM! So I don't know/
I would advise getting a Geforce 4 Ti of some sort instead of an FX or getting an FX 5700/5600 just because the 5500 chokes in some titles in the video
I have Halo, I play it on a high end Windows XP computer I built, I have two Windows 98 PC's, one with a Nvidia FX5700 running on a P4 that utilizes nGlide, the other computer is built around a Monster 3dfx Voodoo 1. Games like Halo, Serious Sam, Far Cry, and many others require a really good PC to do them justice, this computer is not one of those machines!
halo actually runs pretty well on hardware like this, this does do it justice, what didn't was actually my real rig in 2004 that had a potato celeron and no gpu using intel extreme graphics 2, it got a lot worse fps than this, which is crazy to think, I was getting worse fps on halo when it was new than this outdated rig

sonic heroes is a really badly optimized DX9 title, it runs like ass on some modern systems, but runs really good on specific older system configurations. The geforce 4 is close to what was in the original xbox and the pentium 3 933/1ghz is faster than the original Xbox, since sonic heroes was on the xbox it seems like the port is roughly similar to that one in requirements; its a pretty high end 98 system.
this pc can run things up to 2006 for the most part, i upgraded it to run things older as well in a later video, it can run 5 1/4 floppys now from like the 80s and pretty much anything for dos or windows from then until 2006
