Windows 98 does work on dual core processors
Hey all, I was very very bored yesterday, so I installed Virtual PC, and put Windows 98 on it, needless to say, it was fast, and Windows 98 does run with a dual core processor
Very interesting seeing AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core in Windows 98 system specs

Indeed, I can get it to run with 1.1GB, then it gives me some error.

it probably tinks that it must be broken, detecting over a gb of RAM in those days normally was a showing of a crazy os

Indeed, its great having Virtual PC, if you have a old Windows 98 or later disk, you should give it a try, it floods back memories, except, you never remember it running so fast.

windows 98 still won't actually use both cores, virtual PC, i'd imagine, somehow makes it appear like a single core cpu so it doesn't crash and burn?

It does show up as a single core processor clocked at 2.93GHz, but I think there is a way to make it use both cores, I can't find it though.
