well it IS possible, but be aware that some softs, including the in-built IE will NOT work properly due to certificate issues

All intel motherboards until 915 support Windows 98, so yes his 845 definitely supports it and was perhaps designed for it as well. :)

XP SP2 hardly ever crashes. Win98 Crashes like Once in two days. XP Sp2 is reliable enough. Dont go for Win 98 :)
