win98 ( FE) , win98(SE) and win2000 install very nicely on a amd-750 chipset
mainboard.

Not to mention an ancient Redhat 6.0 , one that does not even know about the
PIII serial identifier .

It has been stated that win2000 and the agp subsystem have problems . The
only problems I have encountered are located between the chair and the
keyboard :) .


The Asus K7M is a mainboard with issues. If you have anything lower than rev
1.04,  do not even put a GeForce based video card in .
TNT 2's seem to be fine though.
Next, upgrade the bios .

While installing win98 or what ever, I belive you have to tell it pnp os
"No" to get win98 to boot properly.

Then once it is up, update the eide controllers with the amd drivers .



Although I have had some brushes with the K7M, I've never had it screw up.
Just slow.
A bios udate fixed it .

I took the safe route and put my Slot A TBird on a GA7IXE main board.
 with 3 isa slots )
