Asus a7n8x Win98 PCI driver problems. TIA

Greetings.

I currently have an Asus A7N8X MB with 524MB RAM and a GeForce
FX 5200 AGP card 128MB DDR and a AMD XP Athlon 1900+.

I have installed win98, Asus drivers and video drivers, but
whenever I start my computer windows pops the new hardware
found window for PCI Universal Serial Bus and PCI Raid
controller, but can't find the drivers in the win9x CD or in
Asus CD.

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.

You can't set the CPU speed per se, you can set the FSB and multiplier...
what are they set to and why can't you simply change them?

They should be 133MHz and 12. Which is 1600MHz. This CPU has been
supported since the first BIOS and board Rev.

Yea, Leave it alone
the 1900+ runs @ 1600
PR Rated chips, gotta hate em in one way and love them in another. Intel
has bigger numbers for slower chips and can sell more.. so this is how amd
made competition..
the 1400 (non mobile) was the last non PR Athlon chip.. so a athlon 1400 is
running @ 1400, a athlon xp 1600 is running at 1400
ect ect

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.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Take care.

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

Will do. Thank you.

The CD-ROM drives are different in both systems, but they were
recognized by the same floppy previous to the new mobo. The oakcdrom
driver is a generic driver for windows.

Indeed. I've never found a cdrom drive in the last 6 years that isn't
picked up by the trusty old oakcdrom.sys
