It's gotten a lot less involved in the 12 years since that article was written, Dude. About time you do your own and put 98SE out to pasture - Microsoft stopped supporting it ages ago.
Well, more and more motherboards do not support the DOS Operating Systems.
It isn't very hard :)Quote:

Operation Delta, 11 years ago.

Really dated, but still good advice. One of several builds here at vdr where folks were helped.
Years ago, I was adding an ISA graphics card and got electrocuted...that's how I started on the fun, adventurous road to PC building. I have NEVER considered buying a retail system since.Quote:

Perhaps my ol' memory is goin' bad,but isn't this subject what this web site was created for?
And,,,does anyone remember a site called "No Wonder"??
Dang,,guess I'm gettin' old too!? :rolleyes::p
No Wonder was where I started on Internet forums, before I discovered this place :)
Yep,,same here Nick. No Wonder got me started.:)
I was also a member at No Wonder... First forum I ever joined.
98se is my favourite :)Quote:

Dude;
IF one can successfully plug a lamp plug into a wall socket, then one has all of the intellectual/physical skills needed to build a cornputer. Axe me, I've built about 6 and am gonna build anudder. :eek:
Moi aussi. Less is more!Quote:

I joined here n 2002, and many members/moderators at that time helped me build my first PC. After that it was easier, and I've got a lot of builds under my belt since that time.
I suppose if you can successfully plug a lamp plug into a wall socket AND have it play Battlefield 3 at a reasonable frame rate, then you should be able to build a PC.
if you can do that id seek a doctorQuote:
