Installing Win 98 on new kit
"98 Guy" wrote in message ... philo wrote: I am currently trying to install Windows 98 onto a Core 2 Duo based box. Not likely to get win98 working on that machine. Win98 can fail on some CPU's higher than 2.2ghz. Well first of all, only the most recent (and most EXPENSIVE) core-2 duo's run at 2.2 ghz or more. Second, the 2.2 ghz problem you speak of only applies to windows-95 and windows-98 FIRST EDITION. Win98-second edition installs and runs fine on cpu's 2.2 ghz or faster. and it's very unlikely you'd be able to get chipset drivers etc for a machine that new. Depends on the chipset. If it's VIA, then he should have no problems running win-98 on it. I'm running win-98 on a motherboard with socket 775 (core, core-2 compatible) with a via chipset, Celeron-D 3.46 ghz. Yes ...as a matter of fact I have win98se on a 2.6ghz celeron and it does run fine... I've seen a number of posts where people cannot get it running on a fast CPU... but as you mentioned...that's apparantly win98(FE) rather than SE... at any rate , there is evidently some h/w that's preventing the OP's win98 install from working |
