9800pro and win98se Play Nice?

[Coyote]

If your running win 98se can you use a 9800pro?

I noticed that over at ATI's site they don't list win98se as a compatible OS

From their site:
Operating Systems Support
Windows® XP
Windows® 2000
Windows® Me

But I would've sworn I've seen peeps (in their sigs) listing a 9800pro and win 98. (I searched posts here and couldn't find anything)

No probs with my 9600pro, and ATI's site of course has the Cat 4.3's for 98se. But before I spend the $200+ I wanna make sure I'm not gonna be unpleasantly surprised. I've noticed the new cards coming don't list 98se as a compatible OS and figured this is my last upgrade b4 I'm forced to buy a new OS


Thanks

ATI doesn't develope their 9x driver for 98SE because of it's age, instead they develope it for ME. But ATI will tell you the ME driver works fine in 98SE.

The WMe drivers work fine for W98se (not W98 1st edition mind)... I dont make much use of 98se these days but at last use, my most stable platform used the cat 3.8's (from 3.3 to 3.7 I got BSODs all over the place)...


Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

I use a 9800Pro with 98SE, and 4.3 Cats with no problems.

Omega's drivers for for Win9x/ME have softmods but Omega has announced that there won't be any more Win9x/ME driver support. Drivers based on Catalyst 4.3 are the last.
