Hi Gang, Not to jump in uninvited, but.... I have an ABIT KA7-100 256MB of RAM, and a 15GB 7200RPM /100 hard drive. I installed Windows 2000 with only 64MB installed and compared to my Windows 98 install would say it was much much slower. I then upped my ram to 128MB. I would still suggest that Windows 98 was faster than Windows 2000, but not by much as Windows 2000 started to become usable. After finally upping it to 256MB, I will say that Windows 2000 kicks Windows 98's hind end. (based on what I do which isn't much.) I just run standard applications, games, internet hopping and the like with some scanning and editing of my pictures with PhotoShop 6.0. With PhotoShop, I can really tell a difference in the performance, of course Photoshop is a hog also. I couldn't tell you how much of a difference, just that it feels so much smoother with more overhead. I've had no lockups with Windows 2000, other than me playing around :-) there is less maintenance with 2000, and less worrying about "If I click here or open that, will my system shut down?" Anyway....my half cent. Take Care David A. Abbe [log in to unmask] Do you want to signoff PCSOFT or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://freepctech.com/pcsoft.shtml
