Happy birthday, you lumbering MS-DOS-based mess: Windows 98 turns 20 today

Oengus

I remember

I remember spec'ing a brand new PC.

  • Dual PII Xeon 450,
  • SuperMicro motherboard,
  • as much RAM as I could stuff on the motherboard,
  • Dual SCSI controller on board,
  • 2 of the highest speed (and capacity) HDDs I could find,
  • top of the line Sound Blaster card,
  • the best AGP Graphics card I could find that was compatible with the mother board.

Cost an absolute fortune back in the day. It came with Win 98 SE loaded. I was very happy with that PC for a lot of years (and still fire it up occasionally to run some classic games. It was extremely stable and very rare to have a BSOD.

Ahhh. the memories.
