How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? I remember using Kid Pix like 12 years ago on the first iMacs that Steve Jobs made when returning to Apple.

Kid Pixs was fucking awesome though- a really fun program and the KP v2 and v3 were way better than what paint ever could be.

@Jacktastic-Mofo

 

where are you going to find the GPU for this PC?

 

PCI based GPUs are now getting rare

 

and in the period of 1998

 

only the Voodoo cards were used

 

and 1998 feb was the Voodoo2

 

3dfx_voodoo2.jpg

 

the other iirc was the Diamond Card which i used in my system

 

Graphics_Card_Diamond_Viper_330_with_Nvi

 

the other GPU i used was the Creative Graphics Blaster Extreme

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

in 1998 the Voodoo2 GPU was released in Feb

 

good luck finding one and it still working

 

 

I only remember my 486PC which my dad got from his office

 

then we went for the Pentium 166MHz with the Turbo button

 

i skipped the P2 and went for the PIII Coppermine which was my actual gaming PC with the Creative Graphics Blaster Geforce Pro with 32MB of DDR RAM

 

Excuse me, I have a Voodoo... And it works, do I get a prize? (It came with a Pentium too, but I have no idea if that works :3)

My procrastination is the bane of my existence.

I make games and stuff in my spare time.
