What is the last/fastest mb that will install W98FE/SE/or ME? 1. Yes, insofar as they no longer supply the INF_INST driver update files for Win ME and earlier versions of Windows for the 915 & 925 chipsets. Same situation with the graphics drivers for the 915G. You can probably install Win98 successfully, but you'll have a lot of unrecognized system devices and be using generic graphics and IDE controller drivers. 2. 875P-based desktop P4 motherboards. Of course, other manufacturers (VIA, SiS) may have equivalent or faster chipsets that still support these older Windows versions. Bob |
