The company i work for is about to move office, and as part of the process of clearing out we’re throwing out some old P2 to P3 era hardware.
So I’ve taken for myself a hard disk and a few other bits – I now have more or less everything I need to resurrect my own first PC, a P3-450 I obtained in 1999. Of course why I’d actually want to do that, and whether or not I have space, is another matter, especially as it becomes ever-easier to run DOS oldies on modern sytems. Guess it’s just the collector in me talking.
You could stick Win 98 on your old PC for those oh-so-fussy titles that don’t fancy XP.
I’ve still got my old PC stuck up in the spare room. Why the hell do we need two PCs in such a small house? Answer: we don’t.

Still run into games frequently that only run on actual-factual Win95/98. Emulation on that end hasn’t made much (if any) progress. So that’s two votes for the authentic Win98 PC.
Also, great PQ reviews!

Hi JMan, Glad you liked the reviews!
You guys might have a point re: putting win98 on there. I might still have the CD somewhere…
