    Ultimate Windows 98 Machine

    I personally hate emulation. It's just not the same. It's similar to how retro console gamers play on the real system instead of emulation. Plus I've already had all the parts on hand which made it easier for me.

    Ultimate Windows 98 Machine

    So I'm currently in the process of building the Ultimate Windows 98 Gaming Rig. Why am I doing this?

    Ultimate Windows 98 Gaming Machine

    Ultimate Windows 98/DOS Gaming PC

    I don't believe the motherboard has the ability for overclocking. Its an OEM motherboard from Dell. Maybe if I was doing a custom build.
