Hello Friends, I want to build me a retro-pc out of my spare parts, because I no longer want do deal just only with my testbench setup. I ask what kind of system I should build, and most of you prefere Pentium-1 class systems. I also like this choice because of some advantages over 486: Plug and Play, bigger HDD Support, able to run all DOS-games, good Windows 98SE performance as well, maybe even early 3D-accellerated games.
So in this Video, I'll show you all the P1-Class Mainboards I have found in my parts boxes. I hope you will comment a lot and help me to take a good choice :-) Next video will be CPU selection and case presentation.
As anounced, here is the links to Phil's Video on the DFI Mainboard: youtu.be/yzmzkYCL0OA
Gigabyte GA-5AX on Phil's lab:
