DosFreak Carpal Tunnel Registered: 02/04/00 Posts: 3868 Loc: Georgia	Now that's a matter for debate. heh. I would try Windows 2000 on there if it were me. Considering it's just a 166 NT4/2000 would be good on it. You'd probly be better off with 98SE but you never know. Experiement.

DosFreak Carpal Tunnel Registered: 02/04/00 Posts: 3868 Loc: Georgia	Then put ME on there but use 98lite. I've heard of people having issues with ME & 98lite so if that doesn't work out use 98lite & 98SE.

pr-man old hand Registered: 02/19/00 Posts: 1030 Loc: Lafayette, LA	Well I put WinMe final on, and it runs ok but I think Win98SE would be a better performer. Any good tweaks for win98? I tried installing Win95b and Win98 but neither of them after the install could be coaxed into seeing my laptops cdrom, wierd since Win98SE picked it up right away. Sucks though because Win95B speed was was clearly the fastest of all of them. Damn wish I could have figured out how to get it to recognize the cdrom and 16 bit sound. thx guys ------------------ Celeron 300a@464 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 192 Pc100, Matrox G400 32 SH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, all running on Win2k pro with other odds and ends
