I have been looking into building a pentium 4 windows 98 build and I found a Asus P4R800-V deluxe nearby. The only issue is that I am not sure on the support for windows 98, I've found information for similar models but not this one, so I would really appreciate it if anyone who owns this board or knows much about it could help.

Respectfully, you might want to start your quest for information on the manufacturer's website . There, you will find that there are drivers for Windows ME (and even some explicitly for 98) AND a manual that mentions "Windows® ME/2000/XP" as officially supported operating systems .

Considering that most ME drivers will also work in Windows 98 SE, you have a pretty good chance at getting Windows 98 working and, if that does not pan out for some reason, Windows ME is a fallback option that is pretty much guaranteed to work .

Okay I'll look into the manual, thanks for the response and link. I haven't heard much positive talk around ME but I'm glad to know its an option for this board.
