[lanbonden]

I must say that Im really looking forward to hear the response about this stage

[max1024]

Cool ))) Win98 in 2001SE, think it will be crazy round

[TAGG]

Im curios if there are any PCIe cards with 98SE drivers... If not i still got the 4Core dual SATA2

[max1024]

Now I Understand the idea of secret Bonus Round!!! The Winner will be the man, which have Fastest PC with Win98SE in the Whole WORLD!!! Damn! It will be really hardcore battle ))) :nana: :battle: :banana:

[Massman]

Kudos to @lanbonden to come up with this round

[max1024]

Yep.

Wiindows98 support by M$ was ended in 2006 and pcie was around for for awhile then.

Forget about this. In our small village has old school. There's still about a old grandfather teaches children "informatics". So he still writes drivers for Windows98SE!. It is necessary to come back to visit him for tea.

[Stermy57]

Really? Win98 without any hardware limitation?

Interesting... Tweaking time...

[vip3r011]

so whe can use modded drivers?

[websmile]

What do you mean with modded?^^ If you take a working 98 driver and add support for cards that were not supported originally, like it is done nowadays for 980TI and xp by inf modding, I personally see no problem - different thing is if you mess with the driver itself, this is not OK

exactly, want to try a 8400GS and hope it works..

driver im trying ot use 82.69 from mdgx

also kernelex , is it allowed?

[websmile]

This is a question Pieter and Christain Ney should answer (on kermelex)- personally I am very fond of tweaks also on software, but this might lead to problems at rating results and scores practically unable for me to judge. Because of this it would be easier for me to stay at inf modding only^^ - we will see

I can only agree that giving support for cards shouldnt be seen as against the rules and more like a good thing as this round is all about maxing out win98.

If someone manages to get a 6700k and a 980ti runing in win98, all the creds to that guy

[websmile]

And if you change the limits of the OS in major points, is it still win98?^^

[Marquzz]

Background says R4, should probably change that.

[max1024]

Strange silence in topic. Have somebody ran win98 or something better than LGA775? LGA 1155 or 1150?

[havli]

I couldn't even get my 975X Asus + E7400 working in win98. And no G80 either.

[max1024]

And no G80 either.

Think it is impossible, there is no any driver for something better then GF79xx.

I can't run PCI-E GF6800U 512mb on NV40, because it is native agp gpu, and NV45 I do not have.

 

Can we ask Mr. Jen-Hsun Huang write driver-pack for win98SE? GTX1080 will perfect choise for this

GF8800 GTS/GTX/Ultra are supported by the 82.69 driver... or, well, they are included in the inf file. I tried Ultra, driver installed fine, but after reboot windows won't start anymore. Some kind of stack overflow error. Perhaps 768MB of video memory is too much. Unfortunately I don't have GTS 320 at hand to try.

[Mr.Scott]

I cannot do G80 or better either. Nor any better than 775.

Although I must admit, I haven't been losing any sleep over it either.

Had the same issue. I think 512MB of video memory is the max.

[max1024]

I have a tons of BSOD's, but think that it is possible to run Win98 on smth later then LGA775, because it runs in browsers, smartwatches etc.

[Gumanoid]

8 series is not supported 82.69 drivers. the problem is not in memory. I tried 8600GT 256MB - same problem as with 8800 Ultra... driver is installed but windows not start. What about X1900 series?
