I don't know, what's the difference?

Yeah that would be a nice setup with 98 if you could access your server HD to get the files off from it and onto your real computer.

 

[talldude123]

a video chipset is integrated on your motherboard

a video card is a PCI card that is completely seperate

video chipsets are on every new computer now.

Ok I'm pretty sure it's a card.

 

[talldude123]

you have to make sure that the card can support as least 800*600 16-color, but im sure it does

 

[mikee]

ya right now it is runnung at 1280 x 1024 32 bit color

 

[talldude123]

thats really good for a 5-year old system!

 

[mikee]

ok, so its from 1998

i still have my celeron 533 from december 1999, but i just have windows 2000 on it, i use it for games..

i loved it back in 2000, you would be able to run a computer with only 64 MB of ram, and xp wasnt even thought of yet
