sounds good to me but I would go ahead and use the lan on the mobo nothin wrong with it and you free up a pci slot ( I use the onboard lan on my soyo p4s ultra but not the cmedia sound and I no longer use the raid but did previously and it worked just fine in 98se w\2x 40 gb maxtors)

Thanks for the reply. I want to add a sound card but I have heard about problems with the XP CPU and ANY creative Labs product. Do you know if It's true? Could i use the turtle beach card?
Peace

Give the minimum a chance before assuming you need to spend more - the lan on board should be no problem. I have zero knowledge of raid only that I don't see why everyone is doing it.

Don't you want at least a c: and d: on the hdd-0 drive so that when you have to reformat its all ready to go from d: to c:? Your call.

The thing about win98 is you have to keep after it. It takes up less space but its like putting 6 people efficiently into your volkswagon - it doesn't happen by accident but if you can manage it, you save.

Creative and Turtle Beach both work fine with the XP CPU, Turtle Beach is the superior sound card in my opinion, I've got both.

98SE will work on anything from a 486 to a Pentium 4, including all Athlons, including all XP's. Of course it runs kind of slow on a 486.
