I need to do sum better cable management with it

What OS are you using????  :-? Most glide games are win 98 and win 98 doesnt support more than 775 megs of RAM i think.. Heres a link
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253912

If a computer that is running any of the versions of Windows that are listed above contains more than 512 megabytes (for example, 768 megabytes) of physical memory (RAM), you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
You may be unable to open an MS-DOS session (or command prompt) while Windows is running. Attempts to do so may generate the following error message:
There is not enough memory available to run this program.
Quit one or more programs, and then try again.
The computer may stop responding (hang) while Windows is starting, or halt and display the following error message:
Insufficient memory to initialize windows. Quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, and restart your computer.
So if in win XP or an NT OS, You may have to use third party Drivers.

Nice system BTW, Looks sweet. What Voodoo are you running???

My win 98 runs fine with 1 gig of ram  :)

I must concur with oldskool, when I ran Win98 on my rig, I had 768megs of ram, and it ran great. 

I'm useing a moded version of win98 than can run wiht up to 4gb of ram
win2k sp4
and I'm looking for a linux os to put on it
also it's a v5.5k

can you post a link to that modded version of 98?? 4GB seems unussually high, do you know what they modded to get it to support that??

Pls publish it, since thats something I never even heard about and I was (and still am) experimenting a lot with Win98 on modern machines.

@oldskool - your DOS window will not work with 1024mb RAM :P

dos7.1 supports 4gigs of ram  you know

So I'm not actually playing Carmegeddon I and II on it then or DN3d. Strange sure feel like it works  :P

It only shows 756mb of ram though tbh, I think I had to change some stuff to get it to work but I cant remember exactly what  :-/
