    Back in January I attempted to install a GPU in the 98 PC, and found out that the card got damaged during shipping. Well recently, a viewer generously donated another GPU! So let's try to install it, shall we?

    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.

    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!!!!

    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.

    So yeah, do make the video on the XP64 versions
    Also, indeed make a video on Kolibri.

    Philips Brilliance 107P5 17 (can go up to 2k resolution 60 Hertz and 160 Hz at the lowest resolution)
    socket 754 Sempron 2800+
    Winfast mobo SIS chipset agp8x
    512mb ddr1 RAM
    Nvidia fx5500 (5200 actually) 256 mb vram
    Seagate pipeline 300gb hdd (cheapest stuff here)
    A beautiful White brand new cpu case which comes with a ATX 350 watt psu which can provide a lot of wattage from 5volt
    Seeing old these retro/nostalgia builds and I'm actually surprised that I didn't get any issues like nothing whatsoever. I guess I'm really lucky considering everything but hdd and case/psu are second hand.

    21:58 Windows Aero = Windows error if you have captions enabled. ;-)
    As for having a component in a case that doesn’t match the color (your DVD drive initially), heck, I put a 5¼" floppy drive into my Pentium 3 back in the day, not caring that it was way out of place (and color) for its era. The original intent was that I had hoped for a way to make diskette images for my 8-bit computers like Commodore 64 and Atari 800, but ended up abandoning the idea when I couldn’t find any info online 2 decades ago to do so.

    Win98 TOS, If I remember correctly, states you don't own those disks, manual or box it all came in. The MSRP of $109 only gave you the rights to install the software on one system. If at anytime Microsoft wanted those disks, manual or box it all came in, back all they had to do was ask and by law you had to return it to them. lol

    I never understood those setup menus: Man, you are installing the GRAPHICS card on the machine, can't you design something that actually won't look like ass at 16 colours 640x480? Because I don't think anyone is going to see how the menu actually looks with working graphics.
    Had it worse tho, my first cd-rom drive arrived with drivers on a bloody CD!. Had to wait for the summer holidays to end for a friend with a cdrom drive to arrive back and transfer the drivers to a floppy disk at his home. Top notch design there! (and yeah, they used a cdrom, which was the more expensive format to fit something like 60kb of drivers)

    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
