To answer your question, you might start with the download page.
I recommend, at a minimum, that you download the manual before buying,
and review the feature set, BIOS screens, and other stuff, so you
have a better idea what you are buying. Also, have a look at the
drivers available for download - each one has a list of supported OSes,
and from that, you may be able to figure out what "holes" the drivers
have in their coverage.

On PDF page 49 of the manual, it has some notes on ICH5R SATA and
legacy OS:

Also note that Win98 won't support hyperthreading and will need
a couple of tweaks to deal with more than 512MB of memory (MaxPhysPage ,
MaxFileCache).

HTH,

Actually I did go to the download page just before posting this message, and
saw drivers for 98. Thought I would still ask though.
Thanks for the info Paul, and the links.
Thank you
