Install Win 98 on new Intel mainboard

[Guest rsshnry]

Is is possible to install and run Win 98 on a system based on an Intel 945

motherboard and core 2 duo CPU?

I'm fairly sure the answer to that is no.

 

The last intel chipset to have anything resembling full win-98 support

was the 875.

 

There is evidence that some 915 chipsets might or should have win-98

support, possibly also 925.

 

If you already have a 945 board, and really really want to get win-98

running on it, I suggest you post a question on the msfn.org site -

someone might know of modified drivers.

 

If you are simply looking for a core-2/duo motherboard that is capable

of running win-98, look at the Via-based Asrock Dual-VSTA and 4-core

VSTA boards.

 

Beyond chipset issues, you'll also have issues with PCI-e video cards,

and support for HD audio for win-98.

According to Intel's compatibility chart, there isn't a 945 series board that is

compatible with 98. It shows one 875 board and other series before that as 98

compatable.

The OP would need to have one of the few 945 series boards that accepts a Core2 Duo

processor, not all 945 boards accept one. Win98/SE is a whole different ballgame

which would take a lot of work to get up and running properly even with a different

type processor.

Besides all things already said about this question, W9X will use only 1

core of dual core processor.
