Status of win-98 drivers for Via chipsets?

[98 Guy]

What's the deal with win-98 support/drivers for this:

Northbridge: VIA® PT880 Pro/Ultra

Southbridge: VIA® VT8237A

????

I'm thinking about this motherboard:

I've tended to say away from Via chipsets for the past 5 years because of the stability of their drivers and/or hardware. Maybe they've gotten better?

According to this:

Version 5.11A of the Hyperion Pro drivers includes support for win-98 and the PT880Pro northbridge.

Comments? Experiences?

Via actually was fine for Windows 98.

They have been fine, at least since 2003. Definitely better then nForce with Windows 98.

Nvidia, except for their video cards, sucks when it comes to Windows 98!
