Wayne, Thanks for the info on Winimage and the reminder about XpPe / BartPe and as that's on a CD, you don't have to worry about it being 'interfered with, or just erased
Re Intel and AMD Main points from my viewpoint AMD seemed to be power-hungry compared to the Intel equivalents Yes I could get an AMD CPU and more powerful PSU and still save money over an Intel CPU But you have to consider the electricity bill, and additional AMD related heating in the house during summer I usually suggest to my clients that they should not buy the fastest processors, and biggest drives go for the top of the cheap/midrange products - and get a good motherboard and multiple disk drives usually the advantage of 2 disk drives far outweighs the CPU performance missing from a £200 CPU as opposed to a £500 one Not only can you get a 300GB drive but you can also get TV and a better screen for the £300 difference Unless you really want to spend lots on a top of the range (over)powered gaming system :- 1000Watt PSU, Argon? chilled, overclocked (not quite overcooked?) system with dual 400GHz 64 bit CPU's, 15000rpm Ultra SCSI Raid 5 array, 4GB memory, and a dual ( multiprocessor video board with a 40 " screen, total surround sound - 20" bass speakers etc. ( or those B&O things that just vibrate the walls directly ) 13" fans (hopefully big enough) for cooling the cooler, Windows and a door strong enough to keep out the neighbours and police JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wayne Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 2:01 PM Subject: Re: Win 98 on Floppies? > At 10:44 PM 8/30/2005, Andy Medina typed: > > >I try not to use the 386DX33 running Win 3.1 too much.
