400 MHz with xp pro installed that is about all i know about my system it is an old one i can tell you that

Ouch, your system doesn't support a 120gig hd. You can try to download and isntall:
- software from the hd manufacturer to allow the drive to be seen at it's full size (when you have xp)
- download and isntall a bios update.
when you have win98 chances are slim it's going to work unless you have win98 se
