One of the main problems for running W98SE on a up to date computer, is too much RAM. One Gigabyte is the max that W98SE can load up on without it crashing.

There are two ways around this problem.

First one:

You can edited the OS to stop this problem happening, I've got a web site that explains how to do this.

Seconded one:

If you lower your computers RAM to 1GB W98SE should load-up, I've done this on a real high end MoBe & laptop and it works ok then, but getting the drivers is the problem then.

The graphic card is a easy fix, get a old GPU like a PCI 3DFX gpu, and you could do the same for the sound card.

Having said all this the best way to play FC is to get an modern desktop\laptop\netbook with a GMA GPU has I said before.

Something like these three would be be great for running the game.

I've been thinking about buying the one from Evil Bay.
