I built a new system the other day: P4-2.4b, Abit BH7, PC2700, ATI 9700, WD SpecEd 80ghz HDD. When installing Win98se, it kept crashing near the end of install during the re-boot process. I searched for the displayed code on the internet. It took me to Microsoft knowledge base and said to call Microsoft tech support for the fix. The Knowledge base said that CPU's > 2.1ghz can cause a problem with Win98. I used WinXP instead and the problem was solved. Just something to be aware of if you use Win98 and a CPU >2.1ghz!
