My Friend need 2 Mini PC (CPU) so that he can load win98 on 1 and win vista on other and he will connect it to a Single monitor
with the help of the device called "Splitter" ???

This is what he said

I wanted to know is this Possible ? :confused:

1st of all, use Virtual PC for load Windows 98SE for your work :) can u use virtual PC or its out of option ??

if not virtual machine, you could try an intel dot station @3.5k for win 98se. perfect for that OS :lol:

But none of the newer PCs dun support Win 98, especially the dual cores
For Intel, chipsets starrting from 912 nd for AMD the nforce 4 stopped supporting win 98.
U can go for Win 2000 with SP4.

but virtual machines can easily emulate a PC sutiable for windows 98.

ofcource, if you need to run windows 98 and don't want historicware, you can look at this configuration:

AMD Sempron AM2 3000+
Specs:1.6GHz, 256KB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, 90nm, Enhanced 3D Now!, NXBit, AMD64
Price: Rs.1,650/-

MSI K9MM-V -
Specs: VIA K8M800, AMD Athlon64 X2/Athlon64/Sempron, Socket 940 AM2, 2GB DDR2 533/667/800MHz, 1GHz FSB, SATA RAID, Realtek ALC655 5.1ch Audio, 10/100Mb Ethernet, AGP 8x, mATX
Rs.1,650/-

Transcend JetRam 1GB PC2-5300 -
Size: 1GB DDR2 667MHz
Latency: 5-5-5-18 (CAS,tRCD,tRP,tRAS)
Function: Unbuffered
Operating Voltage: 1.8v
Warranty: Lifetime
Rs.900/-

The Set as you see will cost Rs. 4200/-, that being the maximum price as the indivudual components may be even cheaper.

And it can run Windows XP, common distros, and windows 98/2000 comfortably.

The concept of Virtual PC is that the hardware is emulated to the state in which any OS under VPC can run, even Windows 3.1 :lol:

over Yahoo IM I have given u a link for layman's term for VPC :p that was for Windows Server 2003, where as the method is just same with Windows 98 SE :) simply install the Windows 98 SE under VPC :) and then copy paste all data (Tally DB files) under VPC installation of Windows 98 SE to for using it :)
