I thought 98 was already patched, or did have the same bug that Win95 had with these processors? I've got another '98 system running the same CPU just fine, and it was never patched. I tried putting another HD in this system that has Windows 2000, but I wasn't sure if that was just something with 2000 not liking having its MB changed or a problem with the system.... but i've never seen a problem like this before, usually windows will at least BOOT on problematic hardware, and FreeBSD has no problem building world.
