Hi, I built a windows 98se rig yesterday but the video card I had choosen for it (Ati AiW x800 xt agp) is faulty and games won't run in hardware accelerated mode, which is a shame (even dxdiag crashes if I try to test direct3d) since hte card has both a tv tuner AND fm tuner, and sometimes merely opening menus in windows programs induces visual artifacts. The only other agp cards I have for it is a hd4000-something and a x1650 pro agp. I know that the x800 series were the last ati cards to officially support windows 9x, but I read somewhere that it was possible to get the x1650 card to run in windows 98 through file modification, so I was wondering what it is that I need to do to get the card running.
As an aside note, what would be a cheap, decent fm tuner pci card that'd run in windows 98?
My specs:
Asus P4S800-MX
Pentium 4 2.4ghz HT, socket 478
2gb DDR-400 ram
2x 80gb ide hard disks
1x 40gb ide hard disk
1x ide LG DVD-RW writer.
Sound Blaster Live! (for the game/midi port)
Sound Blaster Audigy 4 (as primary sound card, still trying to find the drivers for that)
