It *can*. Doesn't mean it isn't known to have problems in such a case.

WINDOWS 98se RUNS FINE ON CPU'S FASTER THAN 2.2 GHZ !!!!!!
Get some sleep g
Repeat After Me It has always been known, and repeatedly said, that this issue is only for FE - not SE! Yes SE runs fine on larger that 2.2 GHz processors, actually so does FE is you give it the fix.. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312108 For FE users, the filename of the install is 312108USA8.exe and you can find it anywhere these days Rick |

At one time I heard that Microsoft was not going to fix it... but it seems there is now a fix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243199 I did a quick google search and found quite a few posts from people having problems installing win98/se on hi-end machines though |

Actually guy was talking about something different, but for you philo fyi there is even a newer
version of ndis.vxd for SE available than what you linked, and it's v4.10.2225 available at this link below, but again it's addressing a different issue than guys point. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=270063 Rick "philo" wrote in message "Gary S.

I did a quick google search and found quite a few posts from people having problems installing win98/se on hi-end machines though Again there is way more going on with "hi-end" machines than just the cpu speed. I shouldn't have to point out that chipset support, display adapter support, hard drives 137 gb, and lots of installed memory is going to be the problem in that case - not the CPU speed. There seems to be a genuine conspiracy around here to plant the idea that there is a known issue with win-98se and CPU speed greater than some value. |

WINDOWS 98se RUNS FINE ON CPU'S FASTER THAN 2.2 GHZ !!!!!!
First time I ran into that was with a 2.4 GHz celeron machine. Tried to
install 98 FE on it. It was quite some time ago. The only fix was a copy of Millenium edition version of ndis.vxd floating around on the internet. It worked fine despite warnings from others. -- Noncompliant "Rick Chauvin" wrote in message ...

You wouldn't be able to use all RAM and need 3rd party software to access large disks, but it would be fast as lighting. With 98se on a fast machine you can really experience processor speed. |
