Windows 98 worked fine with a 1.4GHz Tualatin Pentium III (socket 370)

I didn't mention that I've got 98SE running on an 820 chipset (RIMM/RDRAM
is silly cheap now) with a Tuallie 1.4GHz in a Powerleap slocket. It
doesn't much agree with the Crystal CS4622 audio, but perhaps that's just a
matter of finding the right driver.
Windows 98 was supposed to support a maximum of 2GB of memory, however
it has a bug in the Vcache driver which causes
problems unless you limit
the memory it can use to 1 or 1.5GB.
Exactly what I've done with 440GX system. Using a different XMS driver, I
keep a 1GB RAMdisk there.
On faster, more modern systems, I use VirtualBox. Just not worth the
extra trouble finding drivers--but I suspect 98SE will run on P4 systems as
well.
