    8686 * '''High CPU load while running Windows 98''' Windows 98 does not execute the 'hlt' instruction, which temporarily turns off the CPU, when it has no work to do. Download and install rain20 from [http://www.benchtest.com/downloads/index.html here].
    8787
    88  * '''Poor graphical output in Windows 98''' Unlike more modern systems, Windows 98 does not come with a driver which will work with the !VirtualBox graphics card, so it falls back to using it as a 16 color VGA card.  While innotek do not provide Guest Additions for Windows 98, the Display Doctor suite by the company !SciTech does contain a driver which will allow you to use higher color and resolution graphics modes.  Please note that neither innotek nor !SciTech support nor accept liability for the use of this program.
