For the overclocker, on the ASUS board(s), bus speeds of 100, 124, 133 offer a 31-33mhz PCI bus rate. (stable for all systems). Going outside these numbers and the PCI bus rate skyrockets. If the option is open to you, choose a PCI bus rate of between 30-35mhz and you shouldn`t have any problems. Win9x supports the BX chipset right out of the box but the Intel BX update is a good choice for better performance. Set your HDD to 1 partition, when drives exceed about 8.4GB is when win9x gets a little stupid with drive usage/utilization. DO NOT use the diamond drivers, get the Nvidia drivers.
