Windows 98/XP Retro Gaming PC -ATI x600, 128GB SSD, 1GB Ram, Sempron CPU, CD/DVD

Description: Before buying, if you have any games you want tested, message me and let me know - if I can track down the game, I will do my best to test it. This listing is for my most affordable, fully-featured dual-boot Windows 98SE/XP Pro desktop retro-gaming PC with the following specs: -Pixxo CM-9E8A-B slim micro-atx case-Gigabyte GA-M61PME AMD motherboard-Sempron single-core 2.2-2.7 GHZ processor (LE-1250 or greater depending on stock)-128GB Lexar solid state hard drive (SATA)-CD/DVD rom drive (IDE)-1GB DDR2-800 Ram-ATI Radeon x600 Pro video card w/256MB vRam (Radeon 9600 Pro equivalent)-ALS 4000 PCI sound card-15-pin gameport-Rosewill Realtek Ethernet PCI card-6x USB 2.0 ports (4 rear, 2 front)-SD card reader slot-PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse ports-Pixxo 450w Power Supply Includes main unit, a power cord, and a DMS-59 to VGA adapter About this build:This is my lowest-priced full-sized (well, slim desktop anyways) dual-boot PC. With a solid state hard drive, optical CD/DVD drive, dedicated sound and video card, 15-pin gameport, and 100% hardware compatibility in both Windows 98 and XP, this makes for a great retro gaming machine to play games from roughly 1995 through 2003. The Radeon x600 Pro is one of the fastest low-profile video cards you can get with Windows 98 compatibility. You'll see below that it benchmarks incredibly well all the way up to and through 3dMark01. Performance drops off sharply with 3dMark03, so most early generation XP games will play great while any resource-hungry games made from about 2003 or 2004 and later may struggle. Windows 98 game compatibility specifically is really good with this card. Software:Windows 98SE and Windows XP Pro are both installed in a dual-boot configuration, and you can choose either OS upon boot. No games are installed. Windows 98 has DirectX 8.1, SeaMonkey web browser, universal USB storage drivers (for FAT32 flash drives), an unzip utility, and all drivers for the installed hardware. Windows XP has DirectX 9.0c, Firefox (v52) and Chrome (v49) web browsers, .net framework 3.5, Visual C++ 2005 redistributables, and all drivers for the installed hardware. This computer is completely ready to go out of the box. Power Consumption:Power consumption is 60-65 watts idle while maxing out around 85-90 watts while running 3dMark03.
