This listing is for a re-purposed and upgraded Wyse V90LE (Vx0) industrial / retro gaming machine as follows:-Windows 98 / XP Dual-install, selectable upon boot-up-800 MHZ VIA c7 CPU (BIOS configurable from 400 to 800 MHZ in 100 MHZ increments)-512 MB DDR2 RAM clocked at 533 MHZ-16 GB Solid State Hard drive (44-pin IDE vertical DOM)-CN700 Unichrome Pro graphics w/64 MB shared RAM (BIOS configurable at 16, 32, or 64 MB)-DVI output with support for VGA or dual-monitor VGA/DVI with proper adapter and/or cable-VT8237 AC97 sound with Windows 98 support for Soundblaster emulation and General MIDI music-VT6102 Rhine-II Ethernet adapter-1 front and 2 rear USB 2.0 ports-1 Parallel Port-1 Serial Port-Dedicated PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports-Built-in PC speaker (for old DOS games)
Everything here is BRAND-NEW or like-new, except for the upgraded SSD which is very lightly used but industrial quality. Includes:-The main unit-OEM Power adapter
-DVI-to-VGA adapter-Compaq Keyboard (PS/2)-Compaq Mouse (PS/2) (trackball)-Stand
Hard Drive layout:-First partition (6.5 GB) - Windows 98 SE-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
DOS configuration:-Due to popular demand, as of February of 2024, I have added a boot option for DOS. When booting into DOS, SBEMU (Soundblaster Emulation) will automatically run and will configure Soundblaster support on IRQ 7. Your mileage as far as game compatibility, both for sound and video, will vary, but games like Duke Nukem 3D and Wolfenstein 3D play fine.
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) (or up to 12x on faster motherboard)-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).
