Yes. A Pentium 4 would more than meet the minimum requirements. Some of the last low-end computers with Pentium 4s were sold with Windows Vista. If you are performing an upgrade on an older computer, you will also want to consider things like RAM and your graphics card in your decision.
None. Any processor written for Intel-compatible processors, from MS-DOS to Windows 98 to Windows Vista to Linux to Solaris 10 can be run on a Pentium D.
Advantages of the Intel Pentium 4 include more bandwidth, better graphics, and better streaming media. Disadvantages include the high cost, frequent overheating, and slower overall performance.
Obviously, the maximum you can fit on the motherboard. For a Pentium II, this will likely be only 256 MB to 512 MB.
The following are requirements for this game: Intel® Pentium® III processor, a speed of 1GHz, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, and a memory of 512MB RAM.
Windows 98 is compatible with a variety of hardware and software from the late 1990s. It supports x86 architecture, including Intel Pentium processors, and is designed to work with devices like printers, modems, and sound cards that were common at the time. Additionally, it can run many applications developed for Windows 95 and DOS-based programs. However, newer hardware and software designed for later versions of Windows may not be compatible.
Neither one is a particular computer (they are manufacturers, not model names), and neither has a product lineup solely compatible or incompatible with Windows 98. IBM made several workstations with PowerPC processors that obviously cannot run Windows 98, and newer Macs have Intel processors that can run Windows 98, though the hardware is not fully compatible.
Windows 98 Second Addition ran on a number of different motherboards. The main thing was if the motherboard had drivers that would work under Windows 98. In some cases, Windows 95 or Windows ME drivers would be satisfactory substitutions. The main types of boards that supported Windows 98 SE were either Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6, K6/2, K6/3) or Socket A (AMD Duron and Athlon).
You can reuse the hard drive and CD drive, but they may be too small / too slow for your needs. You will need a new case (Pentium 4s need more airflow through the case), a new motherboard, new RAM, and a new power supply. If you use IDE drives in your new system, you can reuse the cables; if SATA, you will need SATA cables.
Many applications and games written for or compatible with Windows 98 will run on Windows Vista.
The AMD K6 was a CPU produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was designed to fit on a socket 7 motherboard, the same type of motherboard that the original Pentium chip used. It performed better than the Intel Pentium. It was popular around the time of Windows 95 and 98.
Windows 98 isn't officially supported, but it has been run on Windows 98. If you cannot get the latest release to run, try downloading an older release like 2.45, which is known to work well in Windows 98.
Not all but most DOS software can run on Windows 98..
