The Hidden Potential of Old Laptops – Windows 98 & DOS Gaming on Dell Inspiron 8100

I love playing retro video games and I have almost every system released in the US. Atari 2600 to PlayStation 5. But one platform that escapes me is Retro PC gaming. While I could make virtual machines on my modern PC that has an RTX 4090, I decided to explore period appropriate options. Desktop PCs are more popular which means that they're more expensive. That's why I decided to buy a laptop. Specifically the Dell Inspiron 8100. It's a pretty capable PC. It's powered by a Pentium 3, 128mb of ram and 16mb of dedicated NVIDIA graphics. What can you do with a 25 year old laptop? Quite a bit actually. I go over the software, hardware and games that I used to get this thing as close as possible to the ultimate retro pc build.
