One thing I like about GeForce 6800 is that it works with Windows 98, so I (at least theoritically) can play old, Windows 98-only games with all the glory of 6800 (AA, AF, etc). However, a friend told me that Windows 98 does NOT support PCI Express, so a 6800 SLI is impossible in Win 98. At most, I can only use 6800 AGP, but no SLI.
However, what I found here is pretty much shocking.
Yes, it is ForceWare 81.98 Win98/ME. In fact, the software description says that the version is "is intended for Windows 98 SE and ME". Yet the version also supports SLI configuration, as well as resolving some previous SLI issues.
And furthermore, I found something interesting in ForceWare 61.76 download page. The page says that the driver is for Windows Windows 95/98/Me, yet it also provides "complete support for NVIDIA PCI-E GPUs".
So does Windows 98 support PCI Express? Can we use PCI Express video cards on Windows 98? And furthermore, is GeForce 6800 SLI configuration possible on Windows 98?
