Default New PC, 98 with old BIOS

I give up!

YOU ALMOST CERTAINLY CANNOT RUN ANY KIND OF WINDOWS 95, 98, 98SE, ME or NT
(maybe even 2000) ON THAT MACHINE! I can almost guarantee you that. You need
drivers and there are no such things. They've never been written.

Okay, Gary, I'm resigned to taking a different path.
I'm installing Win 98 anew on an empty hard drive. I
am aware of the pitfalls involved with large RAM and
have cut back to 512MB. I understand that there may be
complications, in that my current MB runs at 3.1 GHz.
Are there patches or upgrades still available, for
Win 98, that I can download and use to upgrade my old
original issue Win98? Thank you.
