Hi, i'm looking to build a Win98 machine and i've got myself a CPU that I hope should work fine, based on other posts i've seen on here (PIII Tualatin 1.4GHZ SL6BY) - please tell me if i've made a mistake and got something that Win98 won't like or is unstable with...
Also I should mention that i'm planning on dual-booting it with pure MS-DOS 6.22 on a seperate hard disk or partition too, so please tell me if i'm gonna hit any major red flags.
But now i'm looking to get a motherboard for said CPU.
I'd like it to have at least 1 ISA Slot (for an AWE64 Gold card), as well as 1 AGP Slot (for a QDI Rendition V2200 card) as well as PCI slots for a Voodoo2 3DFX card, an ethernet card and possibly a 3rd for a hardware DVD-decoder, although i'll give the last one a miss if i'm pushed for slots.
Can anyone recommend anything? I'd like to get a MicroATX mobo if one exists, but failing that i'm happy with regular ATX.
I have no interest in overclocking anything.
I've heard good things about the JETWAY 993AN v1.2 mobo on here. I have one that says v1.4 on the motherboard. In practice, is this one better or worse than the 1.2, if anybody knows?
