No flavor of Windows 98 is stable and neither is ME. If you want a stable
OS either consider
the options Windows NT 4 Workstation, 2000 or XP and yes they do take more
memory and cpu
power to run but once you upgrade your memory and cpu or get a slightly
more powerful laptop
the benefits of running a flavor of NT, 2000 or XP is well worth the
investment in stability and
dependability.
That's not what he asked. Must be nice to be given a multiple choice
question then pick an answer that is not among the list of answers. Most
laptops do NOT have a CPU that is upgradeable. If the machine won't run XP
it sure as heck won't run XP64 so what are you talking about ?
</rhetorical> You also infer that all Athlon 64s are of the FX series &
that is also NOT true.
If you have something meaningful to add to the discussion by all means
please and even if it's not meaningful is ok once in a while but to
deliberately lead some one down the wrong path or as in this case a path
that is not desired or able to tread is horrendously misleading. Some one
might actually believe that they could put XP or XP64 on PII-150 since the
WinHome list can be read by most anyone including those who don't know
better. It's answers like yours that lead people to tell me that they want
a AMD Celeron based machine.
OBTW Roger & FWIW, ME is NOT a flavor of 98 strictly speaking but it is
half way between 98se & XP which imho is an abomination but as always YMMV.
The wife/girlfriend still runs 98se & she loves it as it's been very
stable. I never had any real problems with it & only wanted XP for the
extras even tho most of them aren't required either.
