Ok I am currently running Win2k and love it, only problem is that I want to do some video editing with my PCTV pci and none of the video editing software that came with it works with win2k so I have decided to dual boot. Now out of win95C, win98FE and Win98SE (im not even considering WinME) is the fastest for video editing? Some people have told me that win95C has the fastest DMA and memory transfers, and some people have told me Win98FE is much faster than Win98SE. So whats the scoop?

for me, my personnal and humble opinion would be to go for winME, it would be a better product to go for in the long run, i wouldn't even be installing win95 unless someone's got a 486 or limited harddrive space, atlest get win98SE but i'll go for winME for the long run.

have you tried whistler?
I do a lot of audio editing with soundforge and the program is a lot faster in whistler than it is in 2k. Why go for a 9x OS when you can use whistler if they wont run in whistler then i would say 98 or 98SE
