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 as the maximum performance you can reach with those is around
We will now install the SoftGPU driver to enable higher resolutions and 32-bit color support.
