>>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!

Cetin,

Then I'd at least make it dual boot to W98 and W2K, so you wouldn't have to put up with the W98 problems.

My P200 is the last Intel processor I have. All of my other boxes are AMD 333 and above.

It's not just my P200 that's improved using W2K, my laptop (AMD 333) works much more reliably with W2K then it did with W98, but it is slower. I probably just need to put more memory in it, it's only got 64MB!
