Can I use X800 technology with Windows 98SE at all? I'm thinking of
upgrading.

I have a multiboot system but ATI does not seem to support X800 drivers for
98SE.

What would happen if I tried to boot to 98SE? Can I use older drivers?

The problem is that the specs on the X800's only list Windows 2000/XP as
supported by the drivers. The 98SE drivers say they only support up to
9800Pro.

I don't know where you are getting your info...

http://www2.ati.com/drivers/Catalyst_52_Release_Notes_WinME.html

X800 support for Win98/ME is a very recent development. X800 cards did not
have Win98/ME drivers for a long time. Catalyst 5.2 is the first "finalized"
driver for X800. Before that there was only a Catalyst 4.11beta. If you are
looking at the card's manual, box or manufacturer's product description,
Win98/ME probably isn't listed.
