I just get a a 775 mobo ( Ga 8i865gme) with a celeron (2.😎.
I have some doubts:
1- I have a sb live 4760 ( the gold plated one). This soundcard will work the sb 16 mode in DOS games on win 98SE?
2-Can i load custom soundfont for MIDI for later DOS games?
3- Who the best way to make a dual 98SE/XP?
4-For Agp card i have 2 options: Geforce FX5200 and Geforce 6600LE. Who the best compatible for DOS and 98 3d games?

I'm not sure you can run 98SE on that motherboard. Does it have drivers for 98SE?

The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

In the Gygabyte site, feature the onboard audio drive compatible with win 98 and Intel INF installation (chipiset).
Also in the BIOs section feature a bios to fix some Keyboard and mouse problems on WinME.
Also the board chipset is Intel 865G GMCH.

That 98SE 865 driver is pretty impossible to find. Great to see that Gigabyte actually has it for download. Getting it directly from Intel is a huge pain. They may not even have it available anymore.
