    How your Athlon based system works?
    Any problems?

    Micko,
    Why? I'm buying one!

    My system is fine too. Only slight problem is when I plug in a USB mouse. It works fine if you plug it in while Win98 is running, but if plug in before you boot the system, it hangs during startup. How bizarre.

    Anyway, here are my specs:
    MSI-6167 Motherboard + 500MHz Athlon
    3dfx Voodoo3 2000 (G400 32MB DH in my other PC)
    128MB PC100 RAM
    Iiyama Vision Master Pro410 17"
    IBM 22GXP 22GB ATA/66 HD
    Creative SBLive! Value
    Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 LAN
    Hitachi GD-2500 DVD ROM
    Windows 98
    plus some other stuff......

      Ya RoGuE,

      Win98 is bizarre. I have the USB Microsoft Natural Keyboard with a AOpen AX6BC Pro Gold motherboard. The thing hangs on shutdown unless I unplug the keybaord.

      FYI, renaming my BIOS.vxd to something else, I can start and shutdown no problem without playing with the plug. According to the Windows Troubleshooting Guide for Windows 98, this is a PnP BIOS issue and should be rectified with an update.

      Haven't decided to take the plung yet.
