  I think I've found drivers for this motherboard with the help of the specifications of it from the manual. I've tried to make sure these were as accurate as possible and these were the safest and legit sources, But I was rushing so there's a chance I may have gotten something wrong, If you need to look again, Here's the specs.
  
  The Audio Controller is an Avance A97 Codec, The RAID controller is a Highpoint HPT370, and The Network Controller is an Intel 82559.
  
  RAID Driver:http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/1964/
  LAN Driver: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/22/Intel-82559ER-Fast-Ethernet-Controller
  Audio Driver: http://download.cnet.com/Avance-AC-97-Driver-for-VIA-Audio-Controller/3000-2110_4-149480.html
  
  NOTE: You must click on "Direct Download Link" when downloading the audio driver. The CNET installer is not compatible with Windows 98 and 2000.

  thanks i thought i'll never find these, but the sound driver keeps giving me Cannot Update ALC Device but i went and found the chipset drivers and it installed the sound driver witch it says intel 82801BA/BAM '97 Audio Controller - 2445 and the network drivers are doing the same thing it says there is no Adapter but on the list it shows the Intel PRO/100+ witch is what my Network Card is
  
  update: it turns out after looking up Avance AC'97 that the sound drivers are not Avance AC'97 but a Realtek AC'97 seems everything is working now, thanks again

  ok so i decided to update the sound drivers for windows 98 and they installed but in device manager the sound card wont work in the Device status it says The NTKERN.VXD and MMDEVLDR.VDX device loader(s) for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2)
  
  To fix this, click Update Driver to update the device driver
  
  i did this 3 times and even went in the system folder to replace the 2 files
  
  i'm at a lost is there somthing els i'm missing? the drivers working fine in 2000 and on the page it say it's for 98se so i dont know

  According to this Microsoft KB article, you are supposed to remove these two lines in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file

  SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
  SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS

  welp after a days worth of messing around i came to a conclusion that the drivers on Realteks site for 98 are broken junk so i looked for a bit and i found older drivers on Intel site and they seem to work fine
