These are perfect for Linux based OS.

FUCKING YES !

Sometimes you can get away with a faster FSB overclock (K6-2+, K6-III, K6-III+) by disabling the motherboard cache in the BIOS, because the cache chip(s) can't keep up with the bus. But as you said, things running on the AGP and PCI bus can also crash due to being so far out of spec :) Great video, love this era of hardware!

Thank you for sharing! AT style cases are rare these days, but this is a great solution! Especially the i/o back plane looks great! Is there any chance you would be able to share that file? Thank you for your response!

! the reason that this pc doesnt have an integrated mouse function is because it actually CAME with a mouse that has the same branding, i have one of these computers, its pretty neat and has a slightly asymmetrical design with the left button being a little bigger by extending in front of the scroll wheel

Nice informative video. I have the smaller GA-5AA board which I plan to recap as it has a couple of bulging caps. The asus and gigabyte boards were to me the pick of the bunch.

Since I already had an HP t5530 running 98SE, I decided to pick one of these up for a different experiment: How convincingly can Windows XP be made to fake Windows 98SE? The answer is "Beautifully well once the login process is finished". (You go 95% of the way there using Windows XP's built-in theming options... including using the System control panel to apply "performance" tweaks to turn off things like transparent backgrounds on desktop icon labels, and then apply the Inexperience patcher to fix things like the Start Menu icon and use TweakUI for XP and X-Teq X-Setup Pro to apply the last few registry tweaks that have no UI by default... just remember to turn off things like the indexing service, BootOptimizeFunction, and NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate when running XP off flash memory to avoid spending write cycles on mitigations for problems you won't have anyway.)

Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere haben die CPUs ab dem K6-3D mit Chomper-XT-Kern die Eigenart, das sie damals den Multiplikator von 2.0 als 6.0 interpretierten. Ich konnte damals meinen AMD K6-3+ entweder mit einem Multiplikator von 5.5 und einem FSB von 110 MHz (605 MHz) oder einem Multiplikator von 6.0 mit einem FSB von 100 MHz (600 MHz) betreiben. Mehr habe ich in meiner Konfiguration damals nicht rausholen können.

I believe you missed something and I was actually looking forward to seeing how you managed it. 😃When it comes to those adapters that let you use ATX power supplies with an AT motherboard, they bring out the green and black wires for the power button - PS-ON and GROUND respectively. The problem is that the power button on the ATX case is momentary, while the PS-ON signal from the power supply needs to be grounded the whole time the computer is running. To sum it up, the way the PC works at the end of the video is - you press the power button on the case, the computer comes on, you take the finger off the power button, the computer shuts off. You'd need to keep your finger on the power button indefinitely, to keep the computer running. The way this needs to be solved is by physically changing the power button on the case from a momentary switch to a toggle switch that keeps the circuit closed after being pushed and that's easier said than done. To keep it pretty, you'd need to find a toggle switch the same size and form factor as the momentary one mounted on the case.

Windows me 😍😍😍😍😍😍

What is this extention called that you have conected to the moguel.

Thank you very much for your videos about the Wyse Cx0. I also have one of these thin clients here and now I want to make a Windows 98 retro system out of it. I found your videos very useful and helpful. I am 64 years old and have seen the entire development, from the 286 to the 486 and all successors, as well as from DOS to Windows 11. I'm sure i'll feel nostalgic when building a Windows 98 system. 😃

Class music. What is it?

Was the cpu's manufacturer's in the same country ? I've noticed CPU's from different makers clock different.

i guess the gpu is a Creative 3D Blaster 4 Titanium 4600 (Geforce 4 Ti 4600) with custom zalman cooler and additional blue heatsinks on the ram chips

If the sound card in the thin client or the USB sound card have a line in input, one option would be to connect the output of one sound card to the line in of the other. I have an old Pentium retro PC with two sound cards (ISA for DOS and PCI for Windows 98) and this worked very well.

Any new info about audio drivers for win 98?

They sell them here in Bulgaria for $8 each + $4 shipping. Free shipping if you buy more than one, I wonder if I shall pick up few of them.

Would you mind sharing your WIndows 98 Drivers? I am having difficulties finding lan, video and audio drivers for my C90LE.

Everyone forgets the chipset thermal compound.

I had an old Toshiba Satellite that had a monochrome LCD screen. Thinking about someone gaming on the laptop does not sound feasible when you mentioned the faded W, A, S, D keys, but I was able to get 16-bit color out the VGA port to a CRT monitor.

I am loving your video content so far.

I loved my Eee PC 701. The 1 GHz Celeron was so much faster than the Intel Atom N270 in the 901 series.

debateing to get this or a packard bel from 1994, as what we atarted out with,, either or model could supposrt windows 7 max,, not windows 10.. very interesting video by far,,nice very informative,,nice points..

You talk about this CPU 'not being as fast as you'd think' based on it's design vs other CPUs of the era, but honestly, if you look at benchmarks of that G-T56N APU compared to what would have been commonly used with XP, it's actually pretty decent. If you consider that the Northwood Pentium 4's would have come out around the same time XP was released, and the Passmark score of a Pentium 4 3.6 GHz CPU is around 315, an Athlon XP 2800+ CPU (similar release date) has a score of 260, and an Athlon 64 x2 3400+, which came out much later is a 531, the G-T56N's score of 484 is actually very impressive, especially considering it's only an 18W TDP vs the Pentium 4 3.6's 115W and the Athlon XP 2800's 89W. This thin client is perfectly suited to running XP, IMHO.

i have same pc can i upgrade its windows ? i tried but it showing error

I see now why Phil of " Phil's Computer Lab" started showing himself in his videos instead of just his hands as everybody else copied what he was doing to begin with!

My first thought: K6. Skipped to the end: K6. Not that mystery 😴

I use a hp T620 plus for XP gaming, as it is supported by hp, and it has a pci express x8 port

Make sure to enable DMA mode in device manager for your hard drive :) DMA stands for Direct Memory Access and does two things: It speeds up data transfer and reduces CPU utilisation. Also its pretty cool to find a retro PC KZfaqr that's from the UK :D

I have an idea... Put the IPA in the PRESSURE WASHER! haha j/k - sorta...

Specified these with my first pc in 1994. Have been using them with a cheap radio for years. Made it sound a lot better. Currently using a Videologic Scirroco Crossfire setup for computer and music. The YST M100 will have a new lease of life with a Yamaha subwoofer.

Cualquier computadora puedes usarla virtual con cualquer usb cualquier programa sindisco duro y navegar que nose te cierre el mu do hay cosas mejores que windows dime que haces con tu telefono nada nomas lo usas parael WhatsApp facebook you tube spotify asi tu computadora 6 con mas limitaciones que el telefono

I am totally confused. I try to install Win Me OEM Version and it boots from CD fine and just SKIPS the Product Key Screen .???

You seem like the tech moan of retro PC hardware, love the channel.

what work on XP ?

my father is like thee laptop

Did you ever get graphics driver working? I can’t find a Win98 driver for VX855. The VIA website only has XP drivers for the VX855.

The problem with the PC world is old games should but don't always like newer and faster hardware and/or Operating Systems. Windows ME wasn't that bad but it just had limitations on Memory and Hard Drive size. Some of my old games only run on old OSs.

Some people don't understand I don't think. I see a lot of people installing Windows 98SE on absolutely everything including 486 computers but me personally, I wouldn't install Windows 98 on anything below a Pentium II/below 300MHz. Windows 95 is for Pentium 1 / Pro, MMX etc and MS DOSS 6.22 / Windows 3.11 for 486 and 386 PC's. Window ME I think was an ok OS and not as bad as people made it out to be.

Installing Windows 98 to a compact flash is never a good idea unless you don't mind changing it out and doing another install when the CF card dies. They generally don't last long being used as hard drives, especially with no TRIM support. The same goes for SD cards too. Its better to use a SATA to IDE adapter with a SATA HDD or SSD if you want something more permanent.

512MB in Windows 98 can cause stability issues and its better to have 256MB for better game compatibility.

This resonates so hard! The first PC I built myself was a K6-III on, now you've triggered the memory, a GA-5AX - with a Matrox G400! Just like you said, I kind of felt the need to go with the underdog or something different - both in choosing the AMD, and in choosing Matrox over 3Dfx or ATi. All bought from Scan or Insight, after pouring over the ads in whatever PC magazines I was buying from WHSmith ... And, exactly like you said, I also find the compact rectangular form factor of these early Super 7 ATX boards weirdly pleasing!

K6-3 or Celeron Mendocino ?

I remember Windows Malfunctioning Edition, I've only dealt with it twice in my life, and that's 2 times too many.

I noticed that NEC LCD is a 17 inch. This means that it has an aspect ratio of 5:4 and a native screen resolution of 1280 by 1024. So, make sure that you have Windows 98 SE and your software set to these settings. If you are running older games or software that does not support 1280 by 1024, then you need to switch to a 15 inch LCD. They have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and a native screen resolution of 1024 by 768. ALWAYS use an LCD at its native aspect ratio and screen resolution if you want a great looking picture and fast performance. I talk more about this, as well as proper DPS for gaming, on my channel. Anyway, this video would be good if I did not see your moving hand so much. It is very distracting. It would be better if you sat next to your computer and have the camera aimed at you. This way you can talk to your audience and we can see what you look like. This makes for a much better video. 😃

Sounds like the belt in the floppy drive has perished and snapped. I had that issue with one of these. It's a lot of screws to get to the floppy drive, and then get it apart, but the belt can be changed.

i got one for like 15$

Ok, I solved the mystery before you started by looking at the marking on the CPU package: it's a K6-2.

I have these speakers and never have found something to replace them with. Extra bonus, it has the vintage classic look.
