I am going to download the update. I will reinstall windows 98, now that my Voodoo1 which arrived a few days ago has been tested to work. I will run the W98 updates, tweak the system, install the Live!Ware CD and run the update, and then I will install the V1 drivers, then the V2 drivers, and finally the V5 drivers - and leave them at the default settings. I will probably backup my W98 install prior to the V5 driver installation, so that I can test the different available drivers (reference, Amigamerlin, etc.) In the meantime, I will look for more RAM (512 GB) and keep looking for a compatible slocket and P3 Tualatin.
I am trying to remain period correct, though I may grab a P4 if I find a mobo with enough PCI and ISA slots (maybe with integrated LAN,) and a compatible AGP slot - for convenience. I have a Roland SCC-1, but if I get the AWE64 Legacy, I can buy an external SC-55 and free up a slot (and sell the SCC-1.)
