Hello Chuck,

You have Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). The series of numbers you see in
System Information is the SE version number. The version number for Windows
98 is 4.10.1998. You can also find the Windows version information in System
Properties ("System" in Control Panel) on the General tab.

You should not encounter any problems installing a DVD-ROM or DVD-RW in your
system. I recommend a DVD-RW. It's really an all purpose drive as it will
read your CD and DVD discs and write to recordable CD and DVD discs.

Happy New Year everyone.

I'm looking at putting a DVD drive into my system and was wondering, how I
can tell if I have Windows 98 SE?

I've got an older Dell OptiPlex GX1 system.  This is a P3 600 with 256meg
ram.

Under the "System Information" it says Microsoft Windows 98 4.10.2222 A.

Thanks for the many years of good advice.
