honestly if any of yall where in DFW I'd tell you to go to this store, they have everything you could want as long as its older than 2002, heck I almost bought a 486 board with cpu for 12 bucks 🤣.

Well the board was recapped already, its the only reason i paid 110 dollars for a socket A board. And that really stinks about Nforce2, as this AThlon XP box is my 98 gaming machine, I use my Pentium 4 3.2 for XP. Here is my XP system, let me know if you think it would do better in 98, I can cross …

Honestly it works great for me so far, have done limited testing, but prior to the Audigy I had a Live in this machine, which also worked fine. I only got the audigy because a local used computer retailer is going out of bussiness with 60% discount on everything. So I paid 2.99 for the Audigy.

Trying to find Audigy Windows 98 drivers
Posted on 2015-04-08, 16:01
Ok I bought a used Audigy for my Windows 98 box, the onboard audio was just bad for the board I'm using. Creative's website only lists the driver update for the audigy, not the source driver and because this was purchased used, the original CD is of course not with it.

Yes I am i pulled it from a compaq PC and flashed with a retail bios. You might have to look for OEM boards but it was a KT266A according to everest. Came with an XP 1700+ from compaq. Also found this online, it supports Core2 Duo and Core2 Quad and has ISA http://www.adek.com/ATX-motherboards.html …

Computer cant use over 128mb its using the Intel 430VX supports 128mb Max ram and 64mb cacheable ram. This means the chipset can only cache 64mb at a time, and that it supports a maximum of 128mb of ram period. This was a value chipset but back in the mid 90's using 128mb of memory wasn't for normal …

on the 9550 try an earlier win9x driver, when it came out alot of computers still had Windows98, id look for a Cat 3 or 4 release driver.

Just an idea but you can also get SocketA boards used with ISA, I know i had an old MSI board with 2 ISA slots and an Athlon XP-M 2800 which used a KT266A chipset and the XP-M's use a 266mhz FSB.

its a bug in the Windows Version of Colonization the drag and drop fails, has to do with the IE intergration into Explorer. But my issue is solved, I installed TinyXP (changed the key to a legal one of my own before anyone asks). Now the cmd prompt plays the music in the dos version of Colonization …
