Over on the MSI website, I saw something saying that nForce3/4 does not work on Windows 98/ME and that got me thinking... Has anyone even tried installing 98 on an A64? Or even a Pentium 4 for that matter? It seems like no one would have any good reason to try, but I was curious. :huh:
Well my comp sux, so no, but i can understand why.
XP is more demanding than 98, so i guess things mite load faster.
But if you have an A64 then i doubt it would matter.
Widnows 98 works fine with Pentium 4s and Athlonx XP's.
No idea about 64's but i'm sure it works too, but there won't be any drivers for the nforce 3/4 like the MSI site said.
I realize it's a driver limitation, but I'm sure 98 will install.
I know the computer teacher at my school runs all his computers ...except students computers which run on windows2000, on windows 98. he says theres a lot less ways for people to get in..
What he means is there are fewer reasons they would want to. :pinch:Quote:

And way more stable.
Why get an Athlon 64 if you arent going to be using it to its full potential available? :blink:
yeah hes really old hes like oldschool haha..idk but him and his friend are real smart so i leave them alone...richard,his friend, can hack into like nething almost...and he used to have a security business...so he knows how to get into stuff easy its cool lol...but yah 98 is gay..idk why they like it lol
If he thinks 98 is more secure than XP, can we assume his security business went bust? :rolleyes:Quote:

When he brought his machine in I could see why.
A mint condition Gateway G6-333.
With XP crammed on it. :frusty:
Had some problems trying to get Comcast cable to work.
What a surprise.
We see a whole group of people who refuse to upgrade their machines ("Why should I? It still works!"), but want to bitch and moan that new apps and technologies (try installing digital camera software on a POS like that...) won't work.
Many are somewhat pissed when I tell them that my video card has more RAM and processing power than their whole machine.
Time to get with the program, folks.
I was using Win98 not long ago as my main OS (Not by choice, long boring story) and even though I had AVG and Zone Alarm running there were still some pesky little buggers getting in, It took High Jack This and almost hourly scans to stay safe :ermm: After a month or so I got sick of it and upgraded to Suse 9.1 which was a huge improvement. But this was all on a very old machine and not by choice, those who do have the choice of XP (or even 2000) and remain with 98 need to look at them selves in a mirror, and then take down that mirror and sell it on ebay for some cash to buy XP with :ermm:
