Is it possible to run Win98SE on all mobos?
Is it possible to run win98SE on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe?
When I downloaded the manual, it asked what OS I wanted, and there was no item in the list for win98? (I also have XP and it had that listed) OTOH, when I dl'd the owner's manual for A7V600, the list included 98, 98SE, ME, and XP. Does that really mean I can't run 98SE on the A8N-SLI Deluxe, or only that no special helper software exists for that OS, like the program that monitors temperature. I have dual boot with XP and I'm not ready to get rid of it it if I don't have to. Thanks a lot |

The main problem are drivers. However I run win 95 and 98 on MSI 6178 , 6309, GA-8PE667 Ultr/Pro, Super Micro P6SBU and P6DBE (one CPU only ) P6SBA. Some drivers work almost OK, but don't expect all of them working. Main problem might be with drivers for Ethernet Card, then if you get internet connection done - you might be OK. |

Run it? probably, minimally. But there are probably no Win98 drivers
for a LOT of modern motherboards, so while it may "run", it may also be pretty pathetic. And in some cases it won't run. B wrote: Is it possible to run win98SE on an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe?

See my post in the next thread. To answer your Question in a simple way - I would say - it may - but with some problems. The main problem are drivers. However I run win 95 and 98 Like drivers for the onboard audio, right? If worst comes to worst, I would be able to disable the onboard audio and plug a card in. on MSI 6178 , 6309, GA-8PE667 Ultr/Pro, Super Micro P6SBU and P6DBE (one CPU only ) P6SBA. Some drivers work almost OK, but don't expect all of them working. Main problem might be with drivers for Ethernet Card, then if you get internet connection done - you might be OK. So if worst comes to worst, I could plug in an Ethernet card that came with drivers? The first computer I assembled, from a brand-new mobo, not ASUS (I forget who made it), woudln't run my floppy drives. I ended up using an I/O card for quite a few years. |

You have to use an earlier Ethernet card which has drivers for Win 95 & 98. Sometime this cane create problems.

Indeed, but if someone in vicinity has an old archive of
CDs which usually came with PCW or PC Pro magazines they could be of some help too as far as drivers and updates are concern. "Barry Watzman" wrote in message ... Run it? probably, minimally.

Win98 has a limited amount of memory that it can use and over that it will give errors like "Not enough memory" even when you have a couple of Gig.. Or at least did on my Asus MOBO |
