>>>I am getting a new computer. It is an AMD K-6 III 400 Mhz with 128 MB memory and a 10.2 GB hard drive. I am trying to decide which OS to install, Win 98 or Win NT 4.0. I am currently using NT.

NT is much more stable. Each application truely runs in it's own memory space. Multi-tasking is handled better. I've had times on Win95 where one application grabbed hold of the processor and I couldn't even task switch to another app. I'm not saying this won't happen in NT, but it is much less likely.
