I managed to install Win98SE on an Asrock VIA board with a Core2

modern hardware.


Roughly when (year) did they stop making mobos and drivers for Win98
compatibility? I've been thinking about getting a faster machine that I
can still run Win98 on. Often those old machines sell for little to
nothing on ebay and I'd kind of like to have a different tower case
anyhow, since I cant close mine due to the oversize power supply.
I'd most likely get another Lenovo (IBM) machine since they last
forever. It WONT be a Dell though....

I always wanted to see just how fast Win98 can run on newer hardware.
plus it would be nice to get a MOBO with USB 2 ports.
