very unlikley that you will find chipset drivers for win98 on that new of a
mobo...
you definately need to install a supported OS...
win2k might work...check the mobo documentation first though

If the game is not requiring high performance display card,you can try to
install Windows 98 in Virtual PC under Windows XP or Windows 2k.

98 has problems with machines with over 512 megs ram. Can't remember offhand
but there's some edit you can make to System.ini (VCache entry if mem serves
me right) alleviates that for many.

yes (if anyone else is reading here, if you have too much memory you should
press F8 to go to command prompt at the first reboot during the install
and there before the rest of the installation edit system.ini to have
MaxPhysPage=3FE00 under [386Enh] section, or =3C000 if that don't work,
and MinFileCache=100000 and MaxFileCache=100000 under [vcache] section
and then reboot.)

(or so I have read anyway, I don't have as much memory, yet)
