When some one tells me that have ME, my only response is "I'm sorry!" ME has no place in a business. It was a marketing hoopla for home users. It is a flop. No, it was not a pacifier until 2000 Pro came out. It was designed as a replacement for 9x, but marketing go a hold of it. There are even those within MS that despise it. While you can upgrade to 98se (your hardware is old) I would not upgrade those computer further than that. You would be much better off getting some basic XP Pro based white boxes.
