#35874 Posted on: 02/04/2002 11:33 PM Windows 9x is a pile of horse dung. I'm glad they have finally killed it off.

#35887 Posted on: 02/05/2002 07:01 AM You'd be surprised. More people still use Win9x products than 2000 or XP combined. And most of them are still using 98 or 98SE... not even WinME quite yet!

#35888 Posted on: 02/05/2002 07:33 AM Windows XP is a fantastic OS, it's what Windows ME should have been. Everyone I know has made the upgrade and none of them have had problems. Even my grandmother uses XP If you have old hardware, yes, there is a slim chance you might run into a conflict, but I've seen XP work with some old hardware with no troubles. As a precaution, just hold off until you decide to upgrade to newer hardware... -PharCyde

#35889 Posted on: 02/05/2002 07:45 AM If you can't manage w98se to be stable either you have unsual hardware with BAD driver (ie 3DFX or Creative sound card) or (more likely) you have no clue on how to install/maintain a computer correctly. My Abit KT7A is rock solid and it saw 2 Adaptec controllers, 1 Diamond sound MX300, 1 Creative Audigy (this lead to some instabilities because of usual Creative driver quality. but thanks to Norton Ghost the box was back on his feed in 3 minutes), 2 Voodoo 12Mb, 1 PCI NIC sharing IRQ with AGP slot. There is a saying: 'If you don't know what you are doing DON'T DO IT'

#35932 Posted on: 02/06/2002 04:34 AM 98 and 98se are by and far the most used os to date. I dual boot using 98se and 2000...no since in getting that fancy pants xp when you can't play real games worth a damn and it has more holes than my old shorts. And if I can't afford to replace them, I definately can't afford a 98/2000 mixed breed of an os.
