What old school / retro pc games or emulators can I run on this

I'd recomend you getting nvidia card, they are more compatible with DOS stuff, geforce 6600 would be great to make this a late DOS/win98/xp machine

try getting a soundblaster live!, this will give you sound in later DOS titles and EAX sound extensions in windows games

>>3725025
Can't get a soundcard, this pc only has 1 agp slot.

>>3725002
A Pentium 4 with 3 gigs of memory should be able to emulate any retros unless you're autist about accuracy or use like 12 filters at once at HD resolution.

A discrete videocard would help with filters or 3D rendering of some games, but for vanilla 2Ds and sprites it's overkill.

>>3725034
Get a more modern external soundcard and see if it's compatible with DOSBox or whatever. Not necessary for emulation though.

>>3725034
Not sure if pretending to be dumb

>>3725034
but thats for PCI

> emulators
Configuration is irrelevant, the faster it is the better.

Your motherboard BIOS may not support Windows 9x. Also 512 MB limit, and all the blah-blah-blah that is obvious to more experienced person.

>>3725092
its ICH5 / 478 mobo
you can set limit in System.ini to MaxPhysPage=30000

I thought there were unofficial patches for all the limits set by M$? Finding device drivers for the more modern hardware in Win98/95 is the biggest challenge.

>>3725002
psx and down

saturn needs a core2duo or better

It wasn't an arbitrary limit, it was a bug caused by Windows 98 never being intended to run, or tested, on such crazy (at the time) configurations. It is simple and well-documented, use the search engine.

The poster above you already told that the chipset on that motherboard (865G, as can be found on bazillionth page of Dell user manual) has official drivers for Windows 9x, so most of functionality will work. Then you just make sure the expansion cards you plug in have drivers for your system (and they either do, or don't, so that's easy).

No pci slot on the mb one 1 agp as stated earlier.

Would a USB sound card work? Unfortunately this PC has no PCI slot only one agp slot.

are you sure?
coz everywhere I check the 0U1324 motherboard from Dell GX270 has one PCI and one AGP

>>3727576
You already have a sound card for windows. No, USB sound does not work in DOS and probably also not in win98

>>3727589
Ya that's the mb except its missing the pci slot only has the green agp.

Crap maybe its under the crappy modem they put in it.

>>3727597

It certainly does not.

Windows 98 Drivers are not hard to find. Either the the driver exists or it doesn't.

>>3728964
I wouldn't be TOO sure, new PCI c-media cards still support win2000

Question: Is there a way to run ZNES full screen without it resetting desktop resolution?

I made a fatal mistake of messing with the settings and have always had it automatically open in full screen, leaving desktop resolution alone. I can't seem to fix it.
