That's right, dude... and the networking functionality is superduper compared to (atleast) win98SE. Give it a try, ´preferably dualbooting if you've got the HD space... ------------------

grumpy, you can update your 98 to win2k without formatting but the general consensus is to go with a clean install. If you don't want to format or do a dual boot system which would be a clean install also, I would just upgrade the 98 and if you have problems down the road, then do a format and clean install. I have been very very happy with win2k on two machines here, both as dual systems w/98. Hope you have as much success as I have. I know some people have had troubles with it but after reading a few forums on win2k, it is mostly a handful of problems over and over that people are asking for help with. ie; drivers, changing the dual boot or somehow losing the option, can't get them networked correctly, won't power itself off when you shut it down,, etc.. If you want the links to a couple of the win2k forums, let me know.

Wow, check out all this bloody feedback!To begin...
On my sys (p3450 128mb 17.2 + 20 gb hd's and asus v6600 deluxe win2k IS the only os that hasn't crashed or fucked up something ( he ehe ehe he eh e) Win2k Professional (i emphasise PROFESSIONAL) IS a VERY stable OS: Pro's: - Doesn't have to restart all the fucking time (like win98 - 98se - ME)
- Opengl system is about 10 fps better in q3 than latest win 98 98se and me
- can support multi processors
- internet is very stable uther stuff like that... OH wait i just remebered something VERY cooool You know how you buy a new hard drive and it sez it supports UDMA66???? WELL in win2k if you add a key in the rego ( i will post the page in a sec showing how to do it) it enables the UDMA66 support in win2k!!!!!! (if hardware supports it) i did some timing in the loading of the q3demo01 witout regedit thingy - 27 seconds (win2k)
wit regedit thingy (after restart) - 19 seconds (win2k) Pretty um KEWL huh? In answer to questions abuut WinME Networking is good if all comps concerned are on ME. If ANY comp is on win2k it hardly EVER works (im not joking) far out my fingers are fucked now !!! hahahahahahah!!! Man this is going to bore some people! Parsout
