Maya,
I've had Win98 installed on my 50CT for about a year now. The system has
the full 32MB RAM it can handle, and I've not noticed any appreciable
difference in performance speeds at all. I'm constantly adding and removing
programs, having to fix Windows messes and all, and I find the tools that
come along with Win98 to be quite handy.
The only area where I notice any real difference is in power consumption. I
think I used to get around an 50 minutes to an hour's worth of power out of
Win95, and now I get around 45 minutes with Win98. However I don't usually
do a whole lot of work on the unit where I don't have access to either
110VAC or 12VDC. I bought a really nice DC to AC power converter that the
guys on this list recommended last summer, as I was getting a loud buzzing
when playing MP3s through the car stereo with the old converter. So power
hasn't been a big issue for me at least.
Matt
