    Oh man... I envy you. This is a really cool build and I've always dreamed of building a high-performance Socket A-based Win98 machine, but I was always put off by the 5V rail issue, especially when pairing with power-hungry graphics cards.
    I love the humorous bits you sneak into the video. Haha!
    "This card, however, was kinda dead" killed me, although you probably didn't even intend to make a joke out of it. :D
    You put a lof of effort into this video project and it shows. :)

    • @psychoticgiraffe
      @psychoticgiraffe  3 роки тому

      socket A is really quick on the single core which pushes minecraft to a playable level my pentium 4s don't typically do, the corsair psu I used is basically an older model that has a stronger rail, solving that issue,
      if it ever interests you, I do run a discord full of hardware/retro enthusiasts, some of which with 3dfx collections bigger than my house, and experimental prototype cards as well
      currently our project has been trying to get IPX networking to work between modern pcs and dos/win 95/98 ones, and, its been working so far, we partnered with Brain Drain LAN recently

    The Geforce 6800 supports DirectX 9.0c, install that and nGlide version 1.05 and you can then play many of the Windows 98 games supporting Direct 3D, Open GL, and Glide games also. The limitation for complete compatibility however lies in the choice of the graphics card, that driver he installed will render many Windows 95, and 98 games unplayable as you need older drivers to make them run properly without artifacts and other glitches. If he had chosen the FX5700, with 256mb of ram, and 128 bit interface, DirectX 9.0a, and used driver version 56.64, then he would have had no issues.......that's what I did, that and nGlide 1.05 I can play about 100 +/- Windows 95/98 games with no issues, save for the odd patch required, and many games require patches to run properly, no matter what the operating system is! Some of the titles shown, like Serious Sam, run better on Windows XP, which is where I run mine on a high end Windows XP system.

    • @psychoticgiraffe

      yes, it is. however, I usually find that the fx 5700-5950, geforce 6200, geforce 4 ti 4200, and voodoo 3 3000 are the minimum reccomended cards for various eras of games, the 9200 sits in a strange spot on that, worse than geforce 4 but better than voodoo, but doesnt do glide, so its not as good for the older of the old games that use glide.

      this is probably the most unstable windows 98 pc i have, it works but it goes very fast for 98, hence why i could get minecraft to run,
      for a 98 system i usually advise to use 440bx chipset or tualatin instead for compatibility, but if balls to the wall 98 build is your thing try making something like this maybe a p4 board with agp and 98 drivers could work as well, or perhaps even a core 2 duo board if it has 98 drivers.

      @psychoticgiraffe  3 роки тому

      SSDs are much faster for 3.1/95/98/xp than HDDs are, this is incorrect.
      in the video or previous one I show the read write speeds as around 90-100 mb per second average, which is much faster than any IDE drive or CF card can do
      I've not tried using a board that has native SATA with 98 though, but it would be sata 1 if it supported 98 so the speed wouldn't go any more than 133 and a spinning HDD tends to bench pretty poorly compared to the nonstop speed of the SSD;
      The problem you might be referring to is a lack of TRIM, if you overfill an SSD you might notice slowdowns on older pre XP OSes
      however, my solution to that was just to save about 4gb of empty space that isn't allocated on the drive, and to partition it into an 8gb and 108gb partiton so that it doesn't degrade as much, my ssd also has garbage collection automatically
      this solves those issues for the most part;
      hence the fast boot time. and file transfer speeds (far beyond the 33mb/s top of an IDE drive on average)

    • @psychoticgiraffe
      @psychoticgiraffe  4 роки тому

      I was actually able to force java 8 to install with kernelex 2019 rev, it does not work with standard kernelex because it needs some system files to be able to run java 8, but kernelex 2019 rev was able to bypass it, note: that revision is rather unstable so do it right after a fresh install, not after you've installed 100 games, its only safe if you do it after a perfect clean install of 98 se

      u gotta test a bunch of different things to diagnose it
      unplug the pc and hold power for a minute, try plugging it back in, make sure the vga cable is properly connected securely on both sides,
      try using only one stick of ram, cleaning it out of any dust with compressed air
      check for any busted capacitors
      error codes, beeps, etc
      different monitor;
      if you continue having same issue after the above try a different video card inside; if that still doesn't fix the issue, then your board is probably fried
      you can replace the motherboard in that case and see what happens

    • @psychoticgiraffe
      @psychoticgiraffe  3 роки тому

      many of those I consider bordering on being windows 95 games but this is a 98 system meant to handle the full spread of games compatible with 98, however it does cancel out some 95 compatible games since a wrapper is needed for glide support on those early 3d games, hence why I've got two 98 systems, this one meant for the top end and the other one with voodoo 2 sli for that gap this doesnt hit

    • @perkyzombie
      @perkyzombie 3 роки тому

      ​@@psychoticgiraffe For the spread of compatibility, my preference, is to split games pre and post XP. The hardware available for XP is vastly superior able to run GTX 670 as on my LGA 775 XP machine, modded drivers a 980ti even works. Crazy powerful and cost effective. Also google PC Games released 1998, great way to remember what the hell I was playing twenty years ago.
      Currently, I've three 90s systems running. The AMD K6-III is the 98 experience, ATI rage and dual creative voodoo 2s and a SB live.
      My other 98 systems are more like what you've shown, a P4 and an Athlon. What I finally ended up making??? finally?? is a Machine ~1990/4 to 2000. The XP machine 2000/1-2008/9

    Have we tried Striped SSDs with the SATA Controller? Might be overkill if it's possible, but, with "Ultimate" being in bold choice for a title for Windows 98, if there's anywhere we can make a system more responsive and anymore overkill, I'm interested in knowing.

    • @psychoticgiraffe
      @psychoticgiraffe  3 роки тому

      440bx is basically the most stable 98 chipset, yes the controller is designed to be able to run striped, if you put two drives in it can do raid0, I've not found any reason to do such though; the only two things I haven't done for this system is try using a Slotket with a Tualatin 1.4ghz p3, or try raid0
      reason I didn't do the slotket is because of stability concerns and requiring a specific one to actually do it.
      there is a part 2 though where I upgrade a few parts of this later on my channel;
      if someone actually sends me a slotket with the correct type for tualatin, I would give it a shot, but for such a meager speed improvement over the 1ghz I didn't think 600 dollars was worth it.
      raid0, I've used it on this controller before, but I've not thoroughly tested it, I might at some point delve into that more

    • @psychoticgiraffe
      @psychoticgiraffe  4 роки тому +1

      IRQ conflicts in DOS, when you set video card slot 1, sound card slot 2, DOS cooperates better, now, if you had an ISA sound card, then this wouldn't be the case, but I'm using one that isn't typically used with DOS, hence the reason for that, I'd get issues when I put it in a bottom slot. temps were only about 65c on load which didn't seem bad
