Welp. We're about to find out. Mine just came.

The Foxconn 865G7MF is similar to the Asrock 775i65g and Newegg has them new for $36. Free shipping in USA and seller has a good rating. I'm curious if anyone has experience with this board. Reviews are sparse and mixed. It seems like it fits perfectly into what I want though (agp and 865g chipset …

Wow what a list! Thanks! I have some great research to do!

My original msi board died (bad caps) and I attempted but failed to recap it. I bought a P5PE-VM on eBay, but it also had bad caps. I replaced them but the pci bus is doing some glitchy things, and the agp slot cap is bulging again, even with the new Panasonic cap installed there. I wanted to pick …

Very sad. Thoughts to the family and everyone around him. I had bought the 98 mem patch and he was very helpful getting it working, answering the few questions I had. Truly a loss to the W98 community.

I might try that. Right now the biggest issue I have is it will output to 1080 but then it doesn't fill the screen, only makes the big screen panable / scrollable. That and I tried kernelex with all the subs to 2018 and broke daemon tools 🤣

It would seem it is the TV for sure with the dvi on this card and W98. Finally got the new mobo working (nos board had blown caps I had to replace). Strangely this board has quite a few quirks that my 478 board didn't and maybe I'll do a post on it, but software wise 98se2me will NOT WORK with this …

More to come - we'll see if a different motherboard makes any difference (different chipset too). Just purchased for about $47 USD Asus P5PE-VM Pentium 4 651 (Cedar Mill 3.4GHz) (LGA 775 instead of my old 478) Will report if a different motherboard changes the equation or if its just that MSI board …

Cheap active vga to hdmi worked. But capacitor blew. Went to replace and I've never had this issue but I burnt out a ring in the pcb so I've toasted the motherboard. I'm kicking myself because I spent the last year rebuilding this (was my first xp machine, piece of my youth I guess) and now it's …

But really you may just want to live with VGA. :) I would except for my desk setup - I don't want to have 2 "monitors" on my desk! I ordered an active vga to hdmi cable (vga output from device to hdmi to monitor) and we'll see how it goes. Reviews seem legitimate. I want my writing / working space …

I should mention - Windows 98 WILL boot into safe mode though the DVI

Good conversation here on Ars technica - and I think its similar to what I'm fighting with - they're talking about overscan but I think the bad data /lack of data being sent to the W98 box is a good jumping off point for me. I'm hoping I can tweak SOMETHING to get this to output on this TV. https:// …

I wonder if it's an EDID problem with the TV. Something that manifests with 98. I've also seen some behavior variation with ATI driver releases and how they interpret EDID data. Do you have any other DVI monitors to try? I'm leaning toward this. I've tried 4.2, Omega, 5.9, 6.1 all same thing. I …

"WARNING - Not enough displays to enable this driver. Add another display device and try again." I get this error every time I try to enable my DVI output on my Radeon 9500. I've drive both 5.9 and 6.2 drivers but same error. I've also tried booting straight into w98 with the VGA cable unplugged …
