Hey guys out there, visit my homepage http://www6.50megs.com/zbwu

Do you like to play games on your comp? Or do you like to do busineess work?

BTW does it support Unreal tournament?

Yeah of course. But win 2000 is businees. WIN ME blows too. WIn 98 is the best right now

I think i'll like 2 play games more.But Windows me is not quite stable.

Wait awhile and something stable MAY come out.

wow, youve been here a long time zbwu

Yeah, no kidding. By the way, what operating system are u using?

I'm using Win98. Yep, Win2000 and NT are good for the office and corporations. More security especially on networks.
Tried them all including WinMe. With that OS I have some issues. I have 98 on one HD and WinMe on another. Removed the 98 HD, reinstalled WinMe twice to see if anything would be resolved.... no luck. Tho it REALLY is better on LAN and cable modem stuff.

I boot up now and again in WinMe to try ideas and suggestions but things are still, well, not quite right.

"Windows 2000 is for business"???
*coughbullshitcough*

I think I run more games than business apps under windows 2000...The only reason they advertise it as being geared toward business is because business people actually do work, and since they do so much work (supposedly) they need a stable OS that doesn't force them to restart every 30 minutes.

If you want to run Win2k, I'd hold off a bit till you can upgrade your processor.

I have the same pc as you only with 64mb of RAM. I'm gonna try to upgrade to an Athlon 900MHz, maybe some more RAM, new MOBO so it supports Athlon's and AGP 4x etc and a new 3D card. All this is going to cost around £500 but you won't need the RAm so it would cost you about £400. Athlon's are MUCH cheaper than pentiums are and people say that they're better too.....

What the hell are all you Win98SE users doing to it??? - Win98SE is pretty darn stable if you keep it on good nick, mine generally crashes only when another program takes it down, and that hasn't happened for weeks.

mine crashes every-fucking-day =P

I have Windows 98, Windows 98se, Windows ME, and Windows 2000. Windows 2000 is the most stable. Also Win2k runs (with those game-compatibility updates) jsut about any D3D game with better performance then you would find in Win98se. But, I need to use Win98se because win2k doesn't like my cracked Netzero proggie. http://boards.ioerror.com/frown.gif oh well. in due time that will be all sorted out.

I've heard that W2K will fully use the ram. Is that real? And when booting up, does it go though dos, like Win me?

no. theres no dos. and it has way better memory management

-"Let me try to explain this the easy way,
Have you ever seen StarWars?"

- "Yes"

- Glasius is The Force on crack..

No, unless you get some sort of compatibility patch from Microsoft that lets you play certain DOS games. I don't know where to get it though.

My computer is running WinME and I haven't had to restart or shut down in 6 days. Nothing has crashed, nothing.

I still think WinME is more stable than 98se is, despite what people think. Plus, it's DOS emulator kicks ass. I've been able to run everything that I used to in 98se.

Oh well, yeah... get Win2K. It kicks... http://boards.ioerror.com/biggrin.gif
