Having said THAT, they do get touchy ... it can take 2 or 3 installs to get them just right (having said THAT, the factory install of Win95b on my old L50 was and is rock solid, I'd say its MORE stable than the Win2k installation on my desktop even when running multiple applications on 16 meg of RAM!). I've also had Win95 and 98 installs on other Toshiba laptops that have been rock solid (I even got a WinME install rock solid on a Satellite 30CDT but I was never able to recreate it) but it can take 2 or 3 tries. Win2k is 'relatively' stable out of the box, in general more so than 9x but you do pay for that in speed. Its also a more 'involved' operating system - its more mucking around. For a desktop system where you know you're going to bash it and you're willing to tweak it and it has the power to pull it all off I'd recommend 2k but for an older computer I'd hesitate on that ... if the applications you want to run will work on NT I'd recommend that over 2k, if you're willing to spend a bit of time (in fact it'd probably take as much time as trying to get all the stuff together for a 2k install) getting the initial install right I'd recommend 95b or 98se over both of them from a speed, memory and disk space point of view and in the light of the fact that you CAN get it as stable as 2k/NT (assuming its not a 'bash around' system). Besides, 64 meg RAM will make Win2k go but it'll make Win98 fly. Of course, there's always Linux ;-) - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
