Intel 915 chipset and drivers for W98?

[someone watching]

Looking to buy an IBM laptop with Intel's 915 chipset. IBM's web site
shows support/compatibility from W2K upward, no W98 support (I guess
because of the chipset).

Googled for info, found some but there is still a question about proper
USB2 support (seems you can get 1.1 but not 2) and ANY audio support
(there is none!). Decided to ask here anybody ever try to get 98
running with Intel's 915 chipset? Did you succeed? You know where
drivers are available?

Thanks

I've seen conflicting info regarding win-98 drivers for the 915
chipset. It might depend on the particular sub-model of the 915.

You might want to search previous posts on this web-forum:

Yes, I've noticed that too. Thanks for the links, they'll keep me busy
for a while seeing if the GM sub-model is supported

Thanks!
