Video Driver for windows 98

yomumafat · 09-24-2009, 11:40 PM

Hey guys,

I have for a long time been planing to run a older machine to play my old games on (mechwarriors, cammander keen etc.).

I have built a machine from spare parts at work, and have loaded windows 98 (:D) on it. Problem is I can not find a windows 98 driver for the intergrated video.

The motherboard is a ASUS P5V800-MX.

Does anyone have any idea's on how I could get a driver for this? Or would installing a AGP video card increase my chances of locating a driver for it.

Thanks in advance.

Brad.

According to the specs
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_I...specifications
the video is "Integrated VIA UniChrome Graphics, up to 64MB shared memory"
and it's either the VIA P4M800 chipset or the VIA VT8251.
Go here

and pick your OS (Microsoft Windows, then either Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE, whichever one you have), then pick integrated graphics, and try P4M800.
