Anyone is thinking in upgrading to the just released 7600GS AGP GPU?
I think it is a perfect upgrade for a 3 to 4 year old PC and still
running Windows 98 with dual boot with XP.
It has 256MB of memory which has been increasingly a requirement, it
uses fast DDR2, its still compatible with AGP 4x and it uses a modern
7th generation Nvidia Geforce GPU and it is being sold at more or less
100 euros which is a very interesting price.
Also it is Vista compatible so perfect to use it in a system with a
triple boot: Vista, XP and 98, which I think it is a requirement for
those that want the most compatibility possible.
There are only two problems with this set.
.. First Nvidia gave up doing Windows 98 drivers so no 7th generation
Geforce has "official" drivers for Windows 98
.. Second Vista requires 1GB of RAM and Windows 98 has some issues
with 1GB of RAM.
These 2 problems make it a little bit difficult to upgrade, but if
both can be resolved the 7600GS will be the perfect GPU for a AGP
system.
The first problem is possible with somekind of hack in Nvidia last
driver released for Windows 98 the only question is what kind of
hack to do.
The second will probably be more easy with some ini files editing.

I'm seriously thinking in upgrading but I will only do it if I can
make sure I maintain Windows 98.
I will not exchange Windows 98 for a 7600GS.
I will only upgrade if I can make the 7600GS run in Windows 98.
If anyone is also thinking in upgrading and still wants to use 98
probably together we can find a solution.
That is why I'm writing to try and find PC Users who want solution
for this set.
