can you specify the problem you experience?
There shouldn't be any problem installing windows 98 on a pentium 4 PC. not unless you've tried and have encountered problems, in that case, you'll need to elaborate more on the problem encountered.

Bigger problem than processor compatibility is motherboard and other peripherals you have. For instance, you may have motherboard drivers (which would cover the processor), but no video drivers for W98. If you examine CD's that came with your stuff, you'll see if their manufacturers support outdated windows 98.
Even without apropriate drivers, your system should run on generic drivers, but at the loss of performance. Some software (like 3d games) would not run if required drivers are not installed.

I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find my reality offensive.
dont install 98 if you have a dual core cpu, hyperthreading or sata (98 doesnt support more than 1 cpu only nt does)
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

My config. cant be used under w98. There are no available drivers for my mobo (Asus a8N Sli).
nForce4
Sli
HTT
All that is beyond w98.
And regarding dual core and w98.... I believe that it would work, but only 1 of them.
