>>>Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm not about to try and setup my P200 with Win2K just to test this. Especially since I haven't been paid yet.< s > Besides, if I did that, I'm not sure that my son's games would run.;-)

>>Hey George, go ahead and do it! You might be surprised! I put W2K Server on my old P200 that used to have W95 on it, and it now boots up more than twice as fast (~1.5 minutes for W2KS vs. nearly 5 minutes for W95).
>>
>>Since I'm not running apps on it, I can't tell if it actually runs code any faster or not, but the damn thing runs everything else faster, too! When I was running W95 as a file server (sheepish < g >), it took about 40 seconds to open a VSS controlled VFP project, and under W2KS, it now opens the same project in under 6 seconds. Keeps the old box alive for awhile longer, for sure.

>I think I'll keep Win98 on it. There's a new machine in my future. I'm waiting for the P4s to roll out. I'll keep thing the way they are, so that my son (who'll get the old machine when I get the new) can keep playing his games. I'll try to scare up another swappable drive for here at the office and load Win2K on that. I supposed to be getting a 733 for here, maybe I'll wait 'til then. Thanks for the info, though.


Gah! I've got W98 left on only 2 boxes, ones' the kids computer, so I won't be upgrading that one, and the other is my wife's, which I will be upgrading soon to W2K. IMHO, W98 is a bigger piece of crap than W95 ever was! On the kids machine, it may just be the games they play on it that causes it to crash so often, but on my wife's machine, there's just no excuse! It crashes way more frequently than my W95 box ever did, and she doesn't use it all that hard. I've even upgraded it from W98 to SE, but it still crashes way too often.

I now use W2K on my development box (Athlon 800). BTW, my server as W95 used to crash about 2-3 times a week, but it hasn't crashed once since I upgraded it to W2KS. Exact same hardware, so it must be the OS that's gotten better!
