Fastest video card that is supported on the W98SE cd?
Hi all,
What is the fastest video card that is supported automatically on the Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition OEM cd? What is the fastest video card that one can still get drivers for that will install and work under W98SE? thanks, charles.... |

. net... Hi all, What is the fastest video card that is supported automatically on the Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition OEM cd? Well, you have the list of drivers that are included in Windows 98SE CD. Go to Control Panel | Add New Hardware | Next | Next | "No, I want to select the hardware from a list" | Display Adapters After that, it's up to you to figure out which one is the "fastest". And, since I presume you're intending to buy one, I'm betting that none of those listed is easily available today. What is the fastest video card that one can still get drivers for that will install and work under W98SE? Again, this is up to you to research. Besides, I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "fastest". There are a lot of different parameters involved in determining the "quality" of a video card, and "speed" is only one of them. |

Thanks for the feedback. I will use the select hardware from list trick. I am not a gamer but I do want fast windowing movements, no smearing or delays when moving windows around. thanks, charles..... |

Why are you interested in the cards that are supported automatically? For
best performance you should be using a much newer card than the ones that were available when W98 was released. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "***** charles" wrote in message et... snip Thanks for the feedback.

Yup. I'd be shopping for cards that I want, and *then* checking for 9x
compatibility. Here's a couple: http://tinyurl.com/yf5w96 (Buy.com, PCI) http://tinyurl.com/yeh33u (EBay, AGP) Or, go to the manufacturer's drivers downloads pages and see what you can figure out, like he http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp Using those pages, you can determine which models are supported, then go looking for them at EBay, Buy.com, Amazon.com, even Bizrate.com or similar, using model numbers. -- Gary S.
