Can anyone give me a brief summary about what chipsets (NB and SB) I should look for when building a Socket 754/939 Win9x/DOS computer? The S939 board I am currently looking at has VIA K8M800/VT8251 and I can't confirm whether VT8251 has DDMA support.. I previously looked at a S754 board with SIS760/SIS964 chipset and couldn't find anything with regards to DDMA and DOS capabilities for that either..
EDIT: Ended up buying an ASUS K8V-MX which apparently has a K8M800/VT8237R. Let's hope I didn't make a bad choice. I will set it up with a Radeon 9800, SB Audigy 2 ZS and an ESS Solo-1 (for SB emulation).
