Win98 not capable of running of fast machines

Basing on your original "question" and more on your replies, it seems that you
want not to install Win98, but to splash out your negative emotions. If it is
so -- the further discussion is nonsensical.

But if I'm incorrect, and your actual goal is not to troll the group, but to
understand the problem and to use Win98 at your computer -- please, be more
specific in your replies, read the answers you get, and see what is applicable
to your problem: unlike you, we don't have this computer at hand, and even
don't see the size of your HDD (probably it is greater that 137GB).

I know what I have tested empirically. Win98 won't work on my system at
800 MHZ with memory set to 133 mhz. Memory is rated for that and
everything ELSE works at that speed EXCEPT win****. It is a win****
coding bug, which SEVERAL OTHERS have reported and documented-just
google it. M**** even has a bulletin on it advising users of ways to
slow down their computers so win****98 will install and work. I trust
gigabyte before I trust M**** any day.

Wrong. My Win98SE works fine with 1GB of RAM installed. In some of the
hardare configurations it works even with 1.5GB of RAM.

and processor higher then 450 mhz needs win98 path update please

Wrong. Win98 First Edition (not SE) had a limitation of 2.1GHz,

"Windows Protection Error in NDIS with a CPU That Is Faster Than 2.1
GHz" http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q312108

but you can get a patch from MS that corrects this problem. Win98-SE
does not have this limitation.

check with Microsoft tech support , AMD 800 was 200mhz FSB memory need
to be PC100 / 100mhz to run if your memory was PC133 set it to 100mhz
to match cpu FSB this is the way it should be"

It is not a Windows -- but your hardware question.

Just as I found when installing Micro**** W98. Now MS will delete
this post since they cannot tolerate the truth-it interferes with
their p rofits.

I don't think this your post will be deleted -- despite it is wrong
and tendentious.

Your logic is bass-ackwards, as always. It's your crappy hardware that's the
problem, just like it was last week and the week before, and the week before
that, and the week before that, when you were masquerading as "everyman" and
under other cowardly monikers.

But forget about getting a decent computer, you need to find a life.
