Has anyone ever successfully managed to get any of the ATI x800 AGP series cards to work correctly under Windows 98 SE with the 6-2 drivers?

I've tried searching the forums here and can't find a answer anywhere, so.. looking for thread here.

I was considering it for my one win98se build in the other room but I wanted information from some folks here before I made the purchase, if possible.

I read on one forum website during my searching of google yesterday that the cards run hotter when run under Win98se. Does anyone know anything about that?

Cheers!

It's on msfn.org, which I consider one of the best quality forums about Windows. But this is only a single post. For all we know he was using different (versions of) programs to measure the VGA core temps and this might account for the differences this user experienced.

It might be possible, bit I have never used such a "new" graphics card with Windows 9x before (newest was probably some Voodoo 3 or something roughly the same age).
