Re: Win 98 Motherboard Recommendation Needed

I now use an old Tyan Trinity S 1950S Socket 7 K6-III motherboard,
VIA MPV chip set, Win 98 SE, 80 GB Maxtor IDE hard drive, and
ATI Radeon 9000. It's virus and malware free as far as I know.

It works fine, as it has for years.

I said I will replace it when it breaks. However, it looks like it's
going the way of some of my 1950s transistor radios. They still work.

I have so much software that taking two or three weeks
to reinstall, test, and possibly have to upgrade just isn't
worth it. That rules out a fresh install or an upgrade to XP.

Dunno, it seems mad to be hobbling along using Win98 now
with a new system. Makes a lot more sense to cut to the
chase and do a clean XP install, even if it does take that long.

Does anyone have a recommendation for current motherboard with which
I could use my existing Win 98 system as a starter operating system?
