It should, I'm using AMD Athlon XP 2200. However, Win98SE can only support maximum of 512MB of memory. Anything over that will give you "out of memory" error! I suggest that you should use Athlon 64 with WinXP because it's meant for speed and computing power, which requires more memory.

I am pretty sure that the newer 64k athlon are only compatible with newer versions of windows, I think they are trying to phase out windows 98 now. Also the processor might be compatible but is the motherboards that have to be compatible with the athlon compatible with 98 if that makes any sense.

I am running windows 98 on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ which is 64bit. It doen not run slower which is contrary to the comments here. 98 is limited to 512MB of RAM, but you can get around that. The hardest part is finding a hard drive. 98 only supports FAT16 and FAT32 and any hard drive in the 1 to 40 GB range can be formatted FAT32, but 98 does not like them for some odd reason. 98 likes hard drives in the 5 to 10GB range. But to answer your question, the CPU can run 98, easily!

Yeah because the software they are created is also different or can't supported to the AMD proccesor.

Yes, you will not have any issues running Win98 on the platform.
