Hi there!

I',m new and hope someone can help me out.

I recently gathered alot of hardware (mostly new in boxes ) to build my childhood dream pc

Everything is build and ready to go but here's my question:

What's the best way to use this hardware? i have a win98se install disc (US) but i see there are alot of drivers fixes etc to make this work can someone help me get this thing fired up with the correct patches i would need to make it stable and perhaps make win98se look a bit better than it did back in the day i aprreciate it ALOT

ASRock P4i65G 512 MB DDR-400 (or should i add more ram?) Nvidia FX5950 Ultra (Latest Card Compatible with Pure DOS games) 2x Diamond VoodooII in SLI 120GB SATA WD (Boot Drive) 1TB WD Black SATA Storage Drive Sound Blaster Live 5.1 PCI All in a Fractial Design Define Mini Dell P1913S 19" LED Monitor Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback WHeel + Joystick + Gamepad

Look here: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/61749-98-se-sp-328/ for SP3 for 98SE - it may help

Does that sp have support for my 1tb build in? or would i need to apply a patch alongside that sp? thanks for the info

1 TB is OK for FAT-32. However, you'll probably need at least RLoew's SATA patch, in addition to SP3, to be all set...

would the sp3 still be the way to go nowadays? what would be the cleanest way to go? without too much stuff you won't need?   thanks in advance

It's all a matter of personal preference really. Some users like the Unofficial Service Pack. Some don't. You should read some of the sticky threads and learn about the various options. Every option has pros and cons; only you can decide which you prefer.
