Intel GMA series were lame ducks.They were always seriously lacking in real games performance compared to NVIDIA/ATI IGP chipsets at the same time. They might look good in benchmarks but when it came down to actual games compatibility, drivers support and maturity, they always looked bad compared …

Hmm.. Did you try Memtest86 ? Maybe RAM or cache is faulty. Sorry, hard to tell what's wrong without knowing the hardware (brand, model, processor). General speaking, if all that doesn't help, you can try an experimental installation of another OS like, for example Linux or Win2000 or XP. The point …

Chrome 9 has DX9 capability, Radeon 7000 is DX7 no T&L There is a Chrome 9 driver for 98 - and Chipset 4 in 1, though you'd have to use the later ones to support the newer chipset (still support 98, but not optimized for it). http://download.viatech.com/en/support/driversSelect.jsp For Win98, the …

I'd say that the graphics might be very similar. You can always try looking as passmark scores, if they exist for those cards. If it's 8 bucks I'd say spring for it. Windows 98se tends to have memory problems with configurations over 512mb. There are fixes, but I think they too may be limited to …
