I also am having trouble setting the CPU speed in my BIOS, it
is currently setting it at 1600 instead of 1900+, any suggestions?

Thank you both for your help.

Another thing that I find strange is that, when I use a boot disk with
win98 in it, it gives me an error that the oakcdrom.sys driver in
config.sys is corrupt, yet if I try it on another computer it works
without problems. I doubt that the problem is with the floppy drive
since it was working with the previous mother board, and if I insert
another boot disk it gives me a corrupt file also, which is a
different file/driver: eg. one boot disk doesn't load the cd driver
for DOS and the other doesn't load himem.sys becauses of supposed file
corruption.


Is the same CDRom in both systems?
I dont know that cdrom driver so it's not sony or creative labs (same
difference usually)..
If your booting from a floppy then you need all of the files that config sys
calls for to be on the floppy.
I dont remember what the win98 boot will show if something in the config sys
line isnt found so I might be way off target
also, try to clean the floppy drive .. It's possible that moving it
around to mess with the new pc resulted in something dirty moving around..
They do get dirty and stop working sometimes
