A common platform choice for 98 is a Super Socket 7 with a 3dfx Voodoo card. I mentioned my woes with my Voodoo 5 earlier in this thread, but I'm still having fun fucking around with the OS. With a good cooling solution and the right board you can hit 600 MHz pretty easily but also downclock for late DOS support. There are also IDE solid state drives now and the one I got is making my machine run at screamingly fast speeds.
XP will also run on SS7 but is better run on a late Pentium 4 or a Pentium III-S if you don't want to burn your retro game room down.
Do you have specific games in mind? Pic related is one of my targets once I've got the setup stable.
Speaking of stability, I was trying to install Diablo II last night. When it prompted me to switch to the play disc during install, I did so and clicked OK. Then my machine rebooted. Any idea what the fuck might be causing that?
