I actually had a system with ME when it first came out. Went back to 98 less than a week later.
Now I use XP, but I really don't like it, actually. The interface is too dumbed-down to be functional for what I'm used to. I'm considering Linux. |

Yeah, I hear many peepz about Linux. It's getting more and more attractive... I tried it once, but it missed many drivers, and the max resolution was 640x480. Sound didn't work, and I really didn't know how to handle the interface. But that was 2 years ago...

Most of todays Linux distributions have no problem with hardware recognition.

winME sucks from a fresh install, but with patience you can turn off the stuff that makes it crash (active folders, for a start) and apply patches.
98SE is obviously the better choice. but i can ASSURE you that after a while all win 9x and ME will run slow. they need to be rebooted after about 1 day. the memory and resources management is crap. XP shouldnt be like that. are you sure you havent got some bad program leaking memory, or spyware? anyway my final conclusion is to dual boot. 98se for dos games winxp for the internet and work etc |

And just got my first blue screen!!! :w00t: etcetc @xoopx winXP was only installed 2 weeks or so, and from day 1 it already began to run slowly after installing antivirus and antispyware software... I guess it just swaps too much. I'm thinking of giving linux a try as a second OS. |

Any new linux will also run slow on that PC.
It would be best for you to get Win2K. |

Have you thought of getting more RAM for the computer? That would solve a lot of the speed issues.

Plus check your startup menu see your not loading too many programs at startup and such, really helps on win98.

More RAM, yes... Mostly when I buy RAM, I put it in my other pc (P3, 875 mhz, 512 MB RAM), and this pc gets the lowest amount of RAM, so that's 3 times 64 MB...
Hmm... Didn't think that so many programs don't support win98... - Adobe Audition - Microsoft Office 2003 - Mixmeister 6 - More on the way I think They just won't install... What about win2k support? |
