Sorry if this question sounds outlandish. I have a couple of PCI-e graphics cards - but they're very different (one GeForce and the other ATI). I'm trying to look for a motherboard that can fit both graphics cards and can run on Win98. No official support for Win9x in the motherboard is fine - as I've seen that chipset drivers aren't really necessary in some cases (e.g. Asus P5KPL-AM/PS runs Win98 flawlessly without having any official chipset drivers).
I tried searching myself - found a model called MSI P6N SLI Platinum. But on its specs detail page (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P6N_SLI_Plati … m/Specification) it says:
- the second PCI Express x 16 slot (PCI_E4) is a special design that supports PCI Express x 8 mode only.
- the second PCI Express x 16 slot (PCI_E4) only supports to install graphics card in SLI mode.
But SLI mode requires identical gfx cards, so the above makes me think that different GPUs won't work on this board - more precisely GPU installed in 2nd PCIe slot may not work.
So I wanted to ask, does anyone know of any motherboard that can run two different PCIe GPUs? i.e. I can switch between the 2 GPUs in Display Properties in Win98..
