Somewhere, I think I still have a 5x86-133@200MHZ running in an old Compaq with 128MB of SIMM Memory (Rare 32MB EDO SIMMS).

Awesome DOS system, havn't turned it on in a while though.

I was thinking of replacing the IDE drive with a CF or SD solution using an IDE adapter. HAs anyone here had good luck with that?
 
I should really try out my old Celeron setup some day this year. It was a socket 370 Celeron 700mhz clocked to 863mmhz with a lapped aluminum heatsink cooled with a 60mm fan , 768mb pc133, GeForce 256 agp 4x card and two maxtor 80gb ata-100 drives. It was my first "fast" pc upgrade from the socket 7 realm.

I remember playing unreal tournament 2003 on that with really crappy settings, and being amazed it even ran at all. Then halo for the pc came out and I realized how crappy the system was, lol.
 
I was still running a 9800GTX+ until a month ago. That was the next step up from the 8800 IIRC. I still have cards that will work with Win 98 laying around. PCI and AGP. I think I tossed some old ISA cards with derelict PCs I recycled last year.
 
this thread needs and enema!...hahahaha

I do some of my vintage gaming on this machine...I realize you can play a lot of old games on todays hardware but there is something to be said of using the hardware that was available at the time...Grand Prix Legends , Quake 2 , Unreal Tournament , etc in Glide...it is the cat's pajamas

Abit VP6 , 2 x PIII 1ghz @1140mhz , Voodoo 5500 AGP , dual boot W2K pro / XP pro , 2 gig Infineon memory , 3 x 18g scsi raid 0 , Kenwood TrueX 72x (the fastest CDR ever) my good ol' Sony 21" E540 Trinitron @ 120Hz

Here's a phot of one of the earliest overclocking motherboards I've owned, the FIC VA-503+ Baby AT socket 7 from late 1998. You could use either the 2 168-pin SDRAM DIMM slots or 4 72-pin SIMM for EDO memory. It had jumpers on the motherboard for OC settings and had an AGP slot, 3 PCI slots and 3 ISA slots. I used it to OC K6-2 450s and later K6-III 450s to over 600 MHz back in the day. I don't have any photos of the Shuttle HOT 569 I had in early 1998, which was also a good overclocking board but did not have an AGP slot.
