Hardware for an "old build"?

[kent]

What should I think about?

I've pretty much decided either a Pentium III or Athlon at or around 1GHz

As much RAM as I can put on the motherboard, just because more is better.

I can figure out the hard drive, video card, sound card and other bits.


I'm just confused on which motherboards for a Pentium III I should be looking at? 440BX because it can hold more RAM than the i815 or maybe another KT266A for a Socket A?


What is too new for an old build, and I figure I should be running Windows 2000?

Wait, you actually want to spend money on this?

What is bringing about this urge for an "old build"?

Old games mainly.

Will dual boot with 98SE

vmware isn't working for you?

I have a P3 combo left in my FS thread. Check my sig for the URL.
