re: Can I install Win98se on new system?

Very few mainboards with SATA had Windows 98SE SATA drivers. The ASUS A8V (plain) made in 2005 that's in my Athlon 3000+ computer is one of the very few (another was the ABit AV8, also made in 2005). It wouldn't be a problem to build a new system for Win98SE, provided that you use an AGP 8x mainboard with only traditional PCI slots (that has Win98SE drivers, check before purchasing) and an 80/120 GB IDE hard drive as the boot drive. If you want SATA you should use a SATA controller card, a number of those have Win98SE drivers. Athlon 1.1 - 1024 MB RAM = 98SE (@768 MB RAM) & XP Home Athlon 3000+ 64 - 1024 MB RAM = 98SE (@768 MB RAM) & XP Pro IBM ThinkPad PIII 900 - 384 MB RAM = 98SE & XP Pro SP2 Windows 2000 Server in the basement Written in response to: Can I install Win98se on new system?
