SPECs** FAST NEW 100gb or 120gb HD NEW WITH 0 hours with Windows OS to SP3 all up to date drivers from Microsoft.. plenty of HD space here ( originally they came with 20 gb or mega 40gb later on, as the OS and programs were much smaller than todays) The equivalentof 2TB today With compatibility for all Win XP, Win 95, Win 98 and DOS games (with some possible exceptions in DOS which can be tricky) ....... Dont be fooled with other offers that include original vintage hard drives 20+ yrs old .... a retro HD is very slow (4200rpm and ready to fail.--20+ years is along time for a hard drive----- OR upgrade to a SSD is 5x faster than conventionalHDs and in theory will run 312yrs with read only with no moving parts (Google it) adding that, programs and games were very small back them making the SSD seam like 5x faster than one in Win 10 today....The SSD is not needed but a very impressive speed gain
GPU-ATI RADEON 7500 --dedicated --- (graphics processor) very compatible and very fast graphics the key to gaming --especaily the later 3D games

***before you buy search the model and description***
you noticed the original laptop screen is removed so as to allow use of the laptop keyboard and buttons---instead of using it with a external keyboard giving a Desktop like setup without the noise, cables and space consumingissues. Basicallysimilar to a all in one PC, but the pc part can be put away or swapped with another laptop to use with this amazing screen.******** ASK ABOUT OTHER OPTIONS512mb ram *.....* approx**USB Microsoft Mouse the best corded mouse ever made and USB game pad for console games**AC adapter original OEM IBM the right one- to allow system to run at FULL SPEED**No Battery ...you can get one but why? its no longer needed**** USE the AC adapter like all laptops.... MAX performance is on AC power **(CMOS battery has been replaced *new*)
You dont need to use a big old low end machines while these classics are still around----DONT SETTLE ---***Fully compatible with all Win 95 & Win 98 SE and most DOSgames I say most because I didnt try all of them and there could be some that might not run completely as intended. But be aware XP still had DOS mode and compatibilitymode allowing DOS,98, 95 and DOS based gamesThe POWER, SOUND and VIDEO is there---intel P4 1.7Ghz............Diablo required Pentium 60Mhz (Mhz not Ghz)full Sound Blaster compatibility sound chipATI Radeon 7500 video card (very and more powerful than any demands of any games of that era)...... VERY compatible with almost all DOS, Win 95 and Win 98
***Check my listings I only offer the best suited systems for gaming***----------not worn out and recycled business laptops---------A IMPORTANT NOTE ON RETRO GAMINGIF you are more interested in playing the very old games especially the DOS ones you might be better off choosing one of the earlier models I have listed. Reason being some of the older games are sensitive to the higher CPU speedsearly DOS and some DOS\Win 95....Pent II or III 300mhz-600mhz64 MB RAMVideo ram 4mb
The Faster Group P3 & P4... still very compatible with DOS and WindowsIntel Pentium III 750 - 1000mhz and up128-256 MB RAM and upVideo ram 16mb-32mbNewer window 98 games are well supported and the extra speed benefits later Windows 98 games. Some Older Dos games start to have problems with too much CPU speed. DOS sound is software instead of compatible Hardware......NOT IN ALL CASES .. its best to start in the closest time period of your favorite period............usually its about the right drivers which were very well supported by the bigger tech giants as IBM, Toshiba, HP, Dell etc.............
I also make available a complete mirror image of the updated hard drive that can be used as a restore drive and nothing can be lost in the event of anything going wrong at a small additional cost on a seperate HD
A NOTE ON OLDER OPERATING SYSTEMSWin 95 & 98 and retro gaming requires some knowledge of the older DOS based operating systems, just ask the question in Google and you will find many video. or text info...........its worth it to be able to experience the countless classics waiting to be discovered or rediscovered. Just type game of the year for start of all the game categories and you will see why its worth it....... XP eliminated much of this in its design .....and became very user friendly
I am offering a 50% shipping cost discount included***NO international continental US only (or contact me)***
"In the past game designers relied more on design than graphics and the developers were independentteams with pride and devotion..... unlike today'sgame factories

I do not add internet support as I feel that without current virus support you are asking fortrouble. Anddata loss. Then what?...You have nothing but a old computer. Downloading is best done on a current PC andtransferred over with a flash drive or a CD. It can be set up at your risk easily.... I make no phony claims...... this is not 1998
