MARINE1142:
I need to format my hard drive and was going to load windows but what version should i put in i have 95 98 first and xp i want to use the mamewah the hard drive is 10gig and the ram is 512 the processor is Pentium 3 1 ghz still need a grahic card but need to get this operating system installed first. Any advice?

IG-88:
Use 98se. Really tho, do a search, this topic has been covered numerous times.

MARINE1142:
Thanks for the info. Sorry I tried a search but maybe i did not word it correctly because no useful info came up. o yeah nice IG88

IG-88:
Ya, that search does suck. I like 98se cause it's "fairly" lite on system resources, stable, easy to set-up and cheap. But really there are as many opinions on it as there are people on this forum.  For your set-up XP would be a bit much IMHO. Are you planning on putting any PC games on it? Maybe give us a few more details on what you're are planning on doing with it??

MARINE1142:
The plan was yes to be able to PC games also, but somewhere along the line of the build or the design phase i got it in my head that i should us my 27" tv but then i find out that u can not use the tv for pc games but that it is better ro arcade games. So i guess no PC games now i starting to get into the programing phase of this thing and its kind of overwhelming like do you need mame32(what ever that is) as well as mamewah then all the programing involved its just a bit much but hey i have come this far i m going to take it all the way one way or another. And as long as keep getting help from this forum i dont see a too much of a problem. Some times i dont ask a question cause it is so basic most people here would not even bother to answer them.
