Hello everyone!
In my attempt to get some old programs running properly, I am considering converting an early Windows XP computer to 98 SE. Here are the components:
Asus A7V8X-X Motherboard (in a beautiful brown pcb)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ at 1.8 ghz
1 gig Crucial DDR 333mhz (or 400) Ram
Western Digital 250gig hard drive (ahh, the good old days of IDE connectors)
410 Watt power supply
ATI Radeon 9550
I think all of these parts should work fine, but I am concerned about a whole gig of RAM. I thought that 98 does not play well with that amount of RAM. Will I even be able to do the install? Or, if that worked, would I need some sort of patch to keep everything stable?
Thanks for your help!
