Default Using older OS's

Hope this question hasn't been asked before, I am considering building a
new pc.

I still need to have Win98SE on a system (dual boot with latest Linux).
Without getting into arguments on what's the point, would Win98SE install
on a system with the AMD64 or 64x2 processor. Also, some apps are supposed
to be multi-threaded in Win98SE, would they use the second "processor" in
the x2 version?

Thanks

Dariusz


Hardware is cheap, get two computers with hardware that supports
what you want. A LOT less hassles.

later.....

Buy one computer, somewhat faster and run VMware or Microsoft Virtual
PC on it. Your electric bill savings will more than pay for it if you
use all the machines on a regular basis.
