So basically you need something with an available AGP slot and at least one PCI slot, that takes 266MHz-bus Athlons and DDR memory. Market's stuffed with boards meeting those criteria, you could pick from boards that use the following chipsets:

SiS735
SiS745
KT266A
KT333
KT400
KM266
KM400
nForce, any variant
nForce2, any variant
Intel i845D (ok, not really )

go with an nForce2 board... so that you can easily upgrade your processor in the future and it's dual channel ddr...

Thanks for the suggestions. I was thinking about getting a Nforce2 board but i heard that they have problems with win98. That true?

it's probly just a pita to install the drivers, just like for nForce1. w2k and xp are pretty tweakable though, if you're concerned about performance.
