regarding w98 and processors

[b11_]

What is the specified minimum processor speed and specified maximum processor
speed under which W98 will function properly?

Minimum Hardware Requirements for a Windows 98 Installation

No max has ever been specified that I know of, though the geeks may have
finally figured one out. Still, neither min nor max are tidy numbers.

By using the /nm switch you can even get win98 to install on a slower 486
such as a 50mhz.
Even a 486 without a math co-processor

and with some **extreme** hacking I've even got win98 running on a 386

It's impossible to install win98 on a 386 but a drive with win98 already on
it
can be made to run on a 386 with the proper modifications
