Would win98 run in nowadays fast CPUs? 1 Year, 1 Month ago Karma: 0  
Hi! I was just wandering... how would win98SE run in latest-tech machines (talk about dual core CPUs)? I mean will it run at all? I always liked win98SE rather than XP or Vista, but never tried it on anything faster than a P3 500mhz...<br />If it wouldnt work at all... then which would be the fastest hardware on which you could use Win98SE?<br /><br />Thx in advance...

<br /><br />Can&#039;t say I really tried anything &quot;dual-core&quot; with Win98SE, but it should run. However, your applications (e.g. games) might not. If Vista is &quot;too much of wow&quot; for you, Win XP SP2 should do nicely. After 5 years, XP is almost rock-solid (stable). Pentium 3 and Athlon K7 processors did run quite nicely on Win98SE.

My friend tried it and it does actually work, but naturally, the 2nd core is completely ignored CPU is not the problem, but other components may as well be. The majority of manufacturers stopped issuing Win98 drivers some time ago, and if your PC is equipped with a newer GPU, for example, you may find yourself unable to find the appropriate driver pack.
