That will depend mainly if there's a sound card installed on the older system there. Many older boards lacked onboard sound with the mic in option. Plus the Windows sound recorder was once used here on 98SE for any mic or line in type recording. There I made some custom wav files for assigning sounds to different functions until running into an old cd with a large collection. I still have that same model mic lying around here somewhere. For 98 it also will depend on the application like recording or live sound for voice?

Should work just fine as long as the computer sound has a mic port.

As long as the software not just drivers is installed for the C-Media CMI9738 4 channel Audio CODEC will determine the source through it's won sound mixer. Otherwise you will have to go into the Accesories>Entertainment section for the Windows sound recorder unless you find an older audio program for 98.
