Bravo on the hardware for this board. High multiplier FSB800 beats the bad "FSB1066” implementation hack and 45nm Pentium dual core generate little heat on top of that which pairs nicely with a lower clocked NV35. 512MB low latency RAM at 1:1 ratio makes me hope this system was put together for Win98.
With an SB Live (maybe Audigy 2) and SATA SSD you have an optimum Win98 setup. A better GPU isn't going to get you anything for games which only run on Win98 or below and I've still to see any compatibility issues with XP games on sandy/ivy bridge and very recent Geforce cards.

Screw period correct; I wanted a faster system back then. I choose no dropped frames, super fast loading, fully compatible and quiet operation.

H i guys.
Having problem with r2.03 , bios P3.30 and E5800. Fans spin up, but it doesn't post. Put back Celeron 351, and it works. Memory modules are Patriot PSD1G400H.(Tried also with only one.)
Are you running r2.03/Woolfdale Pentium combo with regular Asrock bios or modded one?
