AIW Radeon 8500 DV and 98SE

[speedracer]

I want to buy an AIW Radeon 8500 DV but I'm running Win 98SE and the stores I've been to don't list 98SE as a supported OS in the system requirements. Although ATI's driver section claims you can use Win ME drivers.

Does anyone have this card installed under 98SE without any problems? Thanks for the help...

It wont be an issue. In most cases, the only two drivers you'll see on a manufacturer's website for any given card will be generic 98/98SE/ME and NT-based drivers. The install utility usually handles the rest.

A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila.

Actually, ATI's driver section for the AIW Radeon 8500 explicitly leaves out 98SE as a supported OS with a note that you "may" use the drivers for WindowsME.
