None.
1). Microsoft stopped supporting Win98 something like 7-8 years ago.
2). Todays hardware is too fast for Win98, even the technology 8 years ago was too fast for it.
Speaking from personal experience, I found that Win98 was unstable on DDR ram or newer. I've currently running my Win98 on a Pentium 3 with SD ram, an Athlon (original, not XP or newer) should also work fine. I suggest trawling eBay.
On another note, I have tried to run it on Virtual PC without success.

Seriously? I bought Win8 for $40 when it came out. You can't expect to run modern hardware on a 15yr old OS. Wow.
It's not even supported, hell WinXP and Vista arent even supported. You would probably get a virus as soon as you plugged in your ethernet cable.

The question is as asked - I'm well aware of the history thank you.
Win98 runs perfectly happy on 2.0Ghz system with ddr ram here.
(Gigabyte boards Athlon 2 processors)
And before anyone starts - YES it does USB2 Yes applications can use more than 1gb ram (windows just doesnt need it) and yes to most other myths.
And the only problem I've seen on VirtualBox is poor quality video drivers and a willful refusal of the developers to tidy it up.
So - myths and ethernet fantasies out of the way - my question is about hardware. If anyone know any please let me know.
Thanks
