You can try combing through driverguide.com for the driver you seek.

From Intel, It was intended for the D875PBZ.

i845/i865 should be the last supported win9x chipsets afaik.

i875p and i865pe are the same generation, essentially the same chipset (i875p has some performance optimizations enabled which are blocked by default on i865pe). Strange that there would be drivers for 865pe but not 875p. The southbridge for both is the same (ICH5/ICH5R).

Regardless of this, I don't think Win98SE is a good OS for such a system.

Did you try installing with setup /is /p

How many storage controllers / ports does that board have?

And what else is in that machine?

I decided to get a new board and chip instead. I ordered an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe and an Athlon 64 3000+ w/ stock heatsink, both supposedly new but mobo was tested. I'll have the nvidia 6800 GT, 512MB RAM. a Turtle Beach Vortex 2 card, piped through a SB Extigy. Maybe I'll get the best of A3D and EAX? We'll see.

Yes Phil, I'm trying to go for your Voodoo5 on a budget.

I'll still see about doing something with the Dell. I still have plenty of 512MB stick and another 6800 GT

please report back on your experience, because I'm also considering trying the same and can't choose between an FX 5950 Ultra and a 6600GT or 6800GT, I hear the GF 6xxx are lacking native fog table support and 8bit palletized textures support, while the FX5xxx has them, so its supposedly more compatible with older games, but on the other hand GF 6xxx are true DX9 cards so they might be better for nglide. Phil's test in Unreal showed the FX5800 performs well enough with nglide, but he hasn't tested it in all Glide games, so I wonder if there's any Glide games where the nerfed DX9 capabilities of the FX 5xxx can cause issues?

IMHO the best graphics card for a retro Win98 SE system is the Geforce FX5950. It is great for older Direct X games all the way to Direct X 8. It even plays old games in DOS without any problems, at least the ones I have tried. I just finished Ultima 4 with this card.

I got the 6800 because it was $8. For another $8, I got a BFG 7800 GS. That one I'm selling to help fund my retro fix.

put in only 128MB or maybe 256MB and install unofficial SP3 then you can put the 512MB back
