Win98SE:
Compatible w/everything, a little faster in most games. Win2K Pro: Compatible w/almost everything, much more stable, much more secure. I'd recommend Win2K, it's just a better OS IMO. ------------------ -BR "Stupid me, stupid machine. An honest relationship." - Umberto Eco, Foucault's Pendulum SF Linux Hippy Club Vice-President

Win2k benefits:
- Much more stable (it doesn't crash...what a concept!) - More secure (but I'd still recommend using a firewall) - More comprensive set of utilities/programs come with it - Allows you to close a program (no matter what) if its having problems - If an application crashes, it doesn't crash Windows Win2k problems: - Sound in some games (especially old DOS games) usually doesn't work - Make sure you have hardware that will run on Win2k - Make sure you use the right Win2k drivers - File sharing (to Win9x PCs) across a LAN is annoying - You might have to update some games to get them to work in Win2k (no biggie) Note: - If using Win2k, you should definitely get SP2 and probably download DX8 as well. ------------------ TBird 880 (oc 110 x 8) / ABit KT7 (YH) VIA 4.29 / 256 MB PC133 RAM / TNT2 16MB (oc 160/160) Det 7.58 / Maxtor 5.1GB 85120A8 & 40GB 5T040H4 / ESS 1869 & NetGear FA311 10/100 NIC / Win2k Pro SP2
