*Fal's real advice isnt to use Linux. She is just bored.

But if you can't go with Win2K, go with XP and give it a shot. Worst comes to worst, you can always reinstall 98, right?

I found my self asking the same question. I had 98se for the longest time but I wanted to upgrade. I picked up win xp pro at newegg for 133. I had to buy a hardware upgrade with it though. But still it was less than the normal 300 dollar price. Xp pro runs flawless for me. Its defently worth the upgrade.

Why did you buy the full version and not the upgrade version again?

XP all the way.

So he doesn't have to install 98 first then XP everytime he reformats. That'd be my reason anyway.

Why would you install 98 totally?

I have the upgrade version. All I do is pop in my 98 CD when I want to install XP, and go from there. it just asks to put the CD in, then lets you do a fresh install.

I LOVE THAT. Makes the upgrade edition very close to worth ze money.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm looking forward to actually having my first legal OS since Win98 when I buy my new computer at the end of the summer.

I got BSOD's every once in a blue moon with Win98 personally. On the other hand, I've had WinXP freeze up on me more than a few times.

Unless you have a generally unstable machine or some really freakish hardware configureation you should be fine. Just make sure to always get the newest drivers for your computer, they help to make everything run even smoother than it will from a fresh format.

how do I check that?

I used Win98 for years and the crashes were horrendous. Used WinXP for years as well and I've never so much as had it lock up.

Ergo, my circumstantial evidence overrides yours.

I know I would if I used a laptop

Start -> Run -> cmd -> systeminfo

Meanwhile with 2k, I've noticed a HUGE "refund" in system resources when the machine's done with something. I do my usual things with the machine (websurfing, gaming, movie watching, picture editting, etc) and I can usually squeeze a month of use out of it before I have to empty the cache or reboot the machine. Never gotten any sort of BSOD. So for me, 2k is the way to go right now. I still have questions regarding XP, but they're personal issues.

Works for me.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Does it not show the uptime, or does it say invalid command or something?

So yes, Invalid command.

Yeah, I kinda figured that from the blue text.

Hooray for ignoring everyone individually.

How do you get it to the C:\ prompt, though? Mine has some shit about documents and settings, or .. whatever.
