Here's my main Win98 machine

I present to you the **PAVILION SHITBOX FROM HELL**. Why did I call it that, no idea. Basically, I got this 25 year old Pavilion because I needed something far more powerful than my Pentium 133 laptop, with enough muscle, and from the correct time period where it run Windows 98 and XP stability with all official support for hardware. Its stock configuration ran 98 very well, but I felt like it could be improved, so over the past year, I upgraded it.

CPU: Intel Celeron Tualtin 1.2GHz (aka the best and most legendary Celeron ever made)

RAM: 512MB PC133

GPU: BFG Tech variant of GeForce 6200A PCI (yes, I know a 6 series card under 98 is blasphemous, but it's my computer, my choice.)

Sound: C-Media 8738 (want to get a real SB Live or Audigy 2 ZS soon)

Networking: 56k modem

Hard drive: 80gb spinning platter

Optical drive: DVD-RW

Floppy drive: 1.44mb 3.5 inch

OS: Windows 98 + XP dual boot

Getting insane Quake III framerates while running the time demo at the settings shown, and it even runs UT2004 pretty well at the settings shown.
