Well, I mangaed to install win98 (first edition) onto the nForce system, AGP8X is fine (atleast the video card thinks so) and my one use of USB (a joystick) works... but god it ruined 24 horus of my life... and it was not becuase of the nForce2... my freaking anceint SbLive was a nightmare... I'd install the dirvers, then it would go autodetecting Sb16 emulation... freaking locked the sytem every time... only way to get it to coperate was to phsciacly remove the card, make a mess by deleting by hand the drivers.. put the card back in... oh welll.. it works now (but in the device manager, SB16 emulation is set to disabled) now my new trouble: I don't think the hard drive controller are taking advantage of the fancy speed of the IDE's stuff... I did install the nVidia driever (without sound and LAN, since the motherboard asus A7n8x-x seems to have a non nvidia sound and quasi-non-nvidia LAN) at any rate I think the IDE stuff was under sysBus or Busmaster soething loke that so I made sure that was checked but on the deivce manager:

for Disk drives it says (twice, once for each hard drive I guess) "Generic IDE disk drive' I do have DMA enabled...

and for hard disk controlers it simply says Primary IDE controller, Secondary IDE controller, and standard daul IDE controller... now in all these detials of all these netries there is nomention of nvidia... so are the better ide drivers runing or not? and also how do i get them to go? this operatiing system is only win98 not win98SE...

Best Regards
