Special thanks to fatman5916! Technical specifications (UPDATED!):AMI bios, Athlon 2000 +, Nvidia Geforce 3 ti200, 1024 MB RAM ,Creative SoundBlaster, Floppy Drive, DVD-Rom LG, 6 GB HDD (quantum)+ 40 GB (maxtor)... and works fine!

NO STARTUP SOUND?!

[volken1991]

@the747videoer I didn't have all the drivers for old Sounblaster and that's why I didn't have any system sounds. But a few months ago I bought a new SB, so everything works perfectly now :)

I hate it when People say Win98 pc's is slow compared to new pc's, Windows 98 pc's are F**CKING Fast!

[YoutuJ3eJ3lows]

@kiltsonfire164 ..and crash even faster (the OS). What's a windows 98 PC anyway? A pc made in 1999 or 2000 is a windows 98 pc for you, I assume. But they can run windows XP fairly well. And they were contemporary to Windows 2000, which is a fairly (but not completely) outdatedOS now, but not as much as 98, and far more stable. Windows 98 is just for quick fun on virtual machines, or nostagia with old PCs, but not for productive use by any means. Productive use of old pcs-> light linux distros.

but some Lummers thinks that Windows 7 can be lauched ONLYU on Dual/Quad Core PC with 4 Gb of RAM.

[AlexMagic777]

This PC is actual even today because it can launch Windows 7 because of 1Gb RAM and comparatively fast CPU.

Athlon 2000+...? On my Duron 1200+ it took me 15 secs to start!

Whilst Windows 98 is nice for some nostalgia; you can definitly do modern computing on this device. Windows 98 is highly unstable, unsupported and very limited OS for today's means. You could easily install any modern Linux distribution on this pc; probably using a lightweight WM such as FVWM2, Fluxbox IceWM or even XFCE for DE adepts. You'll actually find Win95/98 programs running more stable through wine than natively.
