I remember an article or two about some internal timing problems, but I've never allowed any W9x reactionary to not make the next to last W9x upgrade, if they expected me to help out. .

Did it come with a drivers disc with Win 9X drivers? If yes, you are in luck but if no, you may not be successful in running 98 on the motherboard. If it has an Intel chipset and is a newer motherboard (a year or less old), it will not have drivers. Good Luck!!! (there is also a memory limitation) Post back and let us know what happens.

My new motherboard and CPU operate at 3.6. Thanks.

I have a pci board for a monitor and graphics but don't get passed the protection error. The board came with a disc, but the auto install doesn't work. I haven't checked the contents yet to determine if win9X drivers are there, but I will.

Search it using the motherboard's model number (or the main part of that number).
