    -Genuine Lite-on Power adapter
    -DVI-to-VGA adapter
    -Keyboard (Genuine Wyse, may be USB or PS/2)

    -Second partition (7.5 GB) - Windows XP Pro
    -Third partition (1 GB) - Windows 98 setup files and all drivers + software setup files for both OS's
    -Windows dual-boot selectable on startup
    Windows XP configuration:
    -All hardware drivers installed
    -Daemon Tools v3.47 installed for mounting ISO's as virtual CD drives
    -Google Chrome v49
    -DirectX 9.0c
    -.NET Framework 2.0
    -Visual C++ 2005 Redistributables
    Windows 98 SE configuration:
    -All hardware drivers installed
    -Daemon Tools v3.47 installed for mounting ISO's as virtual CD drives
    -SeaMonkey 1.1.19 web browser
    -Hard drive changed from PIO to DMA transfer mode
    -TCP Optimizer patch installed to increase network throughput to much closer to broadband speeds
    -Universial Native USB disk driver (supports most smaller flash drives and external CD drives)
    -DirectX 9.0c
    -NOTE that when booted to Windows 98, you cannot see the Windows XP partition as it is NTFS
    Some of the BIOS Options:
    -Set the boot order
    -Set the CPU multiplier from 4x to 8x in 1x increments (400 to 800 MHZ speed)
    -Disable the L1/L2 cache
    -Set the shared video RAM at 16mb, 32mb, or 64mb
    -Manage IRQ settings (IRQ 3 to 15)
    -Disable various onboard devices
    Note about Optical Drives:
    This machine will support most external USB optical drives (CD/DVD) in both Windows 98 and XP, but such a drive is NOT INCLUDED.  The references you see to external drives in the photo/screenshots are for the virtual drive that installs as part of Daemon Tools.
    Benchmarks:
    3dMark 99 unfortunately does not run on any VIA C3/C7 processor (a known issue in the retro-gaming community), otherwise, that would be included.  3dMark 2000 scores were surprisingly good considering that they are more than double that of those of a HP T5710 thin client w/Radeon 7000 video chip (which benches at 1053 overall).

    NS Nature (unsupported by hardware)
    For comparison, this build is very roughly equivalent to a 533 MHZ Pentium III build w/Radeon 7200 Graphics.  Any game or software that either supports Windows 95 or meets the above requirements on 98 or XP should run fine on here.  Overall responsiveness, however, is much snappier thanks to the solid state hard drive.
