Finally, the modern DOS/Windows 98 Retro PC Build I've always wanted

It's harder than ever in 2025 to play DOS and Windows games on original hardware, but a modern ITX motherboard known as the ITX-Llama has recently released - it uses a Vortex X86 System on Module processor package and with old school ports like PS2 Mouse and Keyboard as well as a dedicated AGP slot for connecting up a graphics card, the ITX-Llama has been designed to check off every box you could possibly need to play old school games. I can finally build a modern Windows 98 PC experience that I've been searching for. In today's episode we take a closer look at this awesome motherboard.
