→Display driver installation

After the first boot, you will notice that the display is small and very low quality. This is because, without drivers, Windows 98 runs in 16-color mode, fixed to 640x480 resolution.
This is where <code>-cpu host</code> comes into play, as SoftGPU provides SSE3 optimized binaries for in this case, software accelerated 3D rendering. Now yes, you could use this with <code>-cpu pentium3</code> but do keep in mind MMX optimized binaries are very slow
We will now install the SoftGPU driver to enable higher resolutions and 32-bit color support.
