Also I just formated and reinstalled using FAT32. is there a way for me to convert it to NTFS? without formating again

anyone have any benchmarks that show how much better NTFS is compared to FAT32? ------------------ Celeron II 566@952 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 192 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98SE

Explain why you use Win2k over the win9x's and dont just list stability. ------------------ Celeron II 566@952 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 192 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98SE

yeah Toby its # 1

Guys how would this system run win2k pro? Would the slow HD really kick my *** ? Celery 2 566@ 952mhz 192 megs pc100 Abit BE6 rev 1 Western Digital 8.4 UDMA-33 5400 RPM HD Matrox G450 32 meg DH SB live Value Supra Express 56i ISA and many other things.

Well my HD is only 8.4 gigs. Would NTFS still be good?

So NFTS is not any faster than FAT32?

Why is NFTS better than FAT32? is it faster? better for games?

hehe well jdulmage you can give me some , I need about 64 megs ------------------ Celeron II 566@875 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 128 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98FE

well im running win98SE right now and it does look dull but gives me 0 problems so thats why im wondering if I should switch or wait till SP2 comes out. ------------------ Celeron II 566@875 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 128 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98FE

win2k just feels kinda bloated I guess since you cant do a custom install ------------------ Celeron II 566@875 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 128 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98FE

Is 192 megs really enough ram wise?

Out Of Win98 original, Second edition and WinME. Which is the best OS to use? Just curious

Install Win2k version of DirectX 8 Final. fixes alot of screwy AGP stuff in win2k

Any disadvantages to Win95C version?

Well I have win2000 on my system now and I love it but it is very sluggish because my HD is slow. My system is a Celeron 2 566 @952 192 megs pc100 etc but has a 8.4 Western Digital HD which is 5400 rpm. Thats why im contemplating switching to one of the Win9x's until I get a new faster HD

Well I know that the g450 works perfect in win2k with dx8 final. so why not with the dx8 final in whistler. I assume they are the same ------------------ Celeron II 566@875 on a Abit BH6 Rev 1.01, 128 Pc100, Matrox G450 32 DH, SBlive Value, Supra Express 56i ISA, Win98FE

Ok guys I got this problem and I dont know why. my previous system was a celeron 300a @ 450, 128 megs ram (same ram as current system) Abit BH6 rev 1.01, SBlive value (liveware 3 for win2k) and other stuff. My new system is Celeron II 566 @ 952, same ram, Abit BE6 rev 1, sblive value (liveware 3 for win2k) and all same stuff. As with my previous system i have win2k pro and SP1 installed. I also have directx 8 final installed. My vid card for my first system was a Matrox g400 32 meg, my current card is a Matrox G450 32 meg. Now my problem is with Ultima 9, I used to play it in win2k pro on my previous system and had no problems. I have the new install cd that has all the patches etc. Now I have been playing it on my new system and sometimes I will be playing it and after I start running my computer completely turns itself off, not a reboot just POOF no power nothing. only thing that is still on is the Numlock light on the keyboard. Now I can push the power button and the system starts up normally. I am at a lost, I tried turning off EAX and thought that had fixed the problem but no, I tried clocked the celery 2 back to the original 566mhz, no fix, I tried changing video drivers, no fix, I triedsetting my memory to CAS3 instead of CAS2, no fix.

Well figured it out guys, I had to disable Bitmap Caching on the Matrox drivers and all is back to normal.
