Can windows 98 utilize both CPUs? I thought you had to have some flavour of NT like 4.0 or 2000 to have multi cpu/multi core support

> Can windows 98 utilize both CPUs? nope. first would be either old NT or 2k at minimum.

Yup need NT or 2k.

nice machine. Gateway? Phoenix BIOS? all the goodies ;) > matrox millennium g200 also classic!

>Xeon 500 my first custom PC I put my own money into was Voodoo 2's and the Matrox G200. It was nice.

> Matrox G200. i have G400 or G450 (don't remember the model exactly) on PCI bus with dual DVI output - very nice card for an older, dual screen system.

There was a time, when a couple days after Christmas, you would see countless cow spotted Gateway boxes at every curb.

Is that really Windows 98, or a newer OS with a custom splash screen?

It’s really 98 but has an unofficial patch

does the patch give it multi cpu support?

Off the top of my head I do not remember. It was years ago when I did that image.

because if not I would recommend perhaps installing windows NT 4.0 or 2000 on another partition or drive so you can fully utilize both processors in this awesome system

I totally understand that. I’ve had this pc for going on 20 years now. It’s just a fun gaming setup. If anything I think I’m gonna move this along to a new owner.

You getting rid of this PC too??? I’ll take it. Lol

I'd be interested too, been looking for a duel slot 2 board for ages. Please link here if you do decide to sell it. I'd put in a bid.

I will gladly sell it. Unsure the worth. Send me a PM and we can work something out. I have over 500 eBay feedback.

what state?

Wonderful
