The difference between win95, win98, and the new win versions isn't that great to justify the extra cost. And some versions even make older hardware and favorite programs obsolete.

Everquest made me do it! Evil or Very Mad

First everything was okay, and I got hooked.

Then they said, "Hey, lookie here! We just made all kinds of improvements, but now you need at least 512 megs of RAM, and a faster processor will help a lot, too. Of course, you could continue playing with 256 megs of RAM and your old processor, if you disable all the cool stuff, and turn down your clip plane until you can't see anything more than 10 steps ahead of you. And it'll run slower, still. If you don't mind spending 10 minutes trying to turn around to fight the monster that came up and attacked you from behind, stick with what you have." Crying or Very Sad

So, I need a new processor, and more RAM. I don't know much about computers but someone who does says "Look, Windows 98 doesn't know what to do with anything over 256 megs of RAM, so it just ignores it. You want more than 256 megs, you gotta upgrade your OS." Crying or Very Sad

So, I dropped a grand on hardware and Win XP, put it together, and here we are. I don't play Everquest as much anymore, and sometimes I miss those old games. But Everquest beats the heck outta Pong. Very Happy

I'M NOT AN EXPERT AND I'M OFTEN PROVEN WRONG. TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU READ MY POSTS.
Math? Confused

Ummm, sure! Nod

I do FREESTYLE math.
