My brother really likes the hopped up Win98 gaming system I made with 2800+/6800oc. He is now thinking of building a system so we can LAN, and asked me to help him. He wants to build around an Athlon FX57 he already has. He has no Win98 compatible motherboard. What's the best option available for this CPU? Also, I have access to an affordable 6800 ultra, will this pair well with the FX57?

I had a nforce3 board for awhile (MSI) it seemed to work alright but once you start digging deeper into device manager...stuff is in compatibility mode or not supported (even if its not flagged). I would stick with a VIA based board like doornkaat suggested. They seemed to properly support 9x longer than anyone else.
