So, if we manage that 99% without a floppy and the only thing we need it for is OS install /BIOS updates, why not have a floppy drive temporarily onnected? It only needs a power and data cables anyway, so having a side open for a few hours shouldn't be that much of a problem? That's what I used to ...

I still think the floppy is way too much trouble, I had so many floppy disk problems I rather email the file to my email account. Usually when I bring a floppy disk from school to home and home to school and then school to home again the disk dies on me and this happens over 50 percent of the time. ...

Say you were building a new computer with all new hardware. Will Windows 95 work on it. I mean new hardware has like USB 2.0 and DVD RW drives etc... How will Windows 95 work with these hardware and connections?

Thank you for the quick answer. I was planning to build a low power system without fans around 100watt total

One DVD drive maybe DVD+-RW One 20 gb or 40gb 7200rpm or 5400 don't know which one One Asus A7V8X-MX socket a motherboard with onboard video, sound, and lan. One Duron or Athlon around 1ghz 50w max No case fans No floppy Will a 200w PSU be enough how about a 150w or lower? What is the lowest possibl...

Total crap purchased 5 and a half years ago. Will the PSU die on me or just overheat? And does a higher W PSU mean more...

So the answer is a computer does not require a floppy to run. Another question if I build my own computer from all new parts how will I install a OS without a floppy? Lets say I have a full version of windows 98 but don't you need a floppy to install it? And doesn't a computer not boot up if you don...

Ya I just started thinking of getting a new desktop since my notebook computer isn't giving me enough juice. Using a P2 366 :lol: All I need now is a computer this will play DVDs, surf the internet, word process, and play music. I know that a Celeron will do all that just as good as a P4 running at ...

I was thinking of getting the new Celeron 2.0 GHZ for P4 motherboards, do you think it is possible to run that without a fan. Just default speed. From this link I see that the core voltage varies is that something you can change so that you get less heat? http://users.erols.com/chare/elec.htm Does m...
