TIA pcbuilder98 There is *lots* of hardware that is compatible with Windows 98. However much of the newer hardware that is available now may not work at all under Windows 98. Any hardware over 5 or 6 years old has a better chance of working. Mike |

I plan to persue my goal using the currently available hardware. I would not be adverse to buying hardware that is outdated but in new condition. Thanks pcbuilder98 |

Look he http://www.msfn.org/board/Modern_mot..._9_t97588.html Read the entire thread. I personally recommend this board: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.as...4COREDUAL-VSTA It has both AGP and PCI-e slots, can take DDR-2 and DDR memory, and supports socket 775 Core/Core-2/Quad-core CPU's (although the most practical Intel CPU for running win-98 is probably the 3.6 ghz celeron). |

I would safe if I could find a page on the asrock site where is says that this mother board is compatiable with WIN98. So far I haven't been able to find such a page. Is there such a page? If so can you give a link to it? pcbuilder98 |

So far I haven't been able to find such a page. Is there such a page? No, there is no such page. No (new) motherboard sold today, or for the past 2 years at least, will claim to be compatible with Windows 98. If you read the msfn thread, you would see that there is win-98 driver support for several chipsets that are used in new motherboards. There is one motherboard component that I haven't ever seen win-98 driver support for - and that's the HD audio component that started to appear on motherboards 2 or 3 years ago. So you can fart around and try to find an old legacy motherboard (either used, or new-in-box) that dates from 2003, or you can take a chance on one of the boards mentioned in that thread. |
