Also, you should be aware that this motherboard does not support Win 9X. No drivers
were developed for the Intel chipsets in these boards as the hardware isn't designed
for Win 9X. According to Intel, it's a hardware limitation so they can't even write
drivers for it. Even if you can get it to run Win 98, it will be a very sick slow
machine due to the legacy mode that it would have to run in, so even trying to run
any software, especially graphics/games, just won't work..
