Hmmm.. My old P5A runs some of those old DOS games under Win 98SE pretty well to
just fine or I boot to DOS with some added software for memory handling. Never had
an issue with losing access to any hardware while running, and the USB ports worked
fine under W2K. The P5A has a 3DFX VOODOO 3-3000 video card with a set of tweaked
drivers after support was dropped, a Netgear 10/100 NIC and I had an SB PCI128 and
more recently an SB 64 Gold audio card(s) that I had laying around. Installed the
last BETA BIOS.. All have worked without a hitch, both under Win 9X and W2K. In
my opinion and observation back then, I thought the Soyo boards were more stable
and less buggy, at least the ones I built in comparing Asus and Soyo, and the Soyo's
seemed to be a little faster.
Now the P5A just sits in a nice little Enermax tooless case, in a box on the shelf
as I had tweaked out one of my Asus P2B-DS 1 gig P3's to run Win 95 thru ME by swapping
HDD trays. The older games for the most part run pretty well, when I do have time
to sit and play. I would give the P5A away if someone wanted it! It does email
and surfing just fine and although it is a little slow under W2K, it never crashed
unless I had a buggy program. LOL
