Yeah its hardly a trcik, but Microsoft wouldn't exactly document it either. I once had to put Windows 95 release A onto a computer that was running Release B, I coudb't delive it, doiong a down grade on the o/s instead ofan upgrade, well that was my school for you, always backward at being forward! That was what I did though, renamed Win.com and it worked! I did that too with Win 98 SE, wanted to upgrade Win 98 first edition, but wasn't as successful. Hmm I wonder is some moron will try and upgrade Win 2K with Win ME ?? No wait a minute I expect someone already has , my old school!! ------------------ ------ My Computer Pentium II 350 Gigabyte 6BXC M/B 16 meg Voodoo 3 2000 AGP 128 Meg of RAM 18 gig Western Digital Expert HDD UDMA 66 Sound Blaster Live ! 256 56k Modula Tech V90 USB modem 4 x SCSI writer Advansys Host SCSI controller

Yeah I've been looking into getting a dual CPU m/b, but right now I can't afford to, so I'm scuk with my GA 6BXC, if I do og the dual CPU route I'll get the GA 6BXD. But right now the 6 BXC run Win 2K just nicely. I've heard that the Micro Star boards are pretty good. ------------------ ------ My Computer Pentium II 350 Gigabyte 6BXC M/B 16 meg Voodoo 3 2000 AGP 128 Meg of RAM 18 gig Western Digital Expert HDD UDMA 66 Sound Blaster Live ! 256 56k Modula Tech V90 USB modem 4 x SCSI writer Advansys Host SCSI controller

I can just see someone doing that, trying to upgrade Win 2K with Win Me, hee hee I bet lots ofpeople try that !!

Well I've been running my pc with Win 98 first Edition on my C partition and Win 2K on my D partiotn for the last 2 weeks and its as sweet as a nut ! It really is the best way to do it

I downloaded the latest W2K Voodoo 3 drivers for me 2000 AGP card, intstalled Qake 3 and away it went. Granted the auto installer of the V3 driver didn't work but once the driver has been extracted then make a note of where it was extracted to and install the driver manually. Behemoth

Greetings I partitoned myhard drive, I have Windows 98 on omnepartition and Windows 2000 on the other. Itmakesmore sense to keep say Windows 98 for your games and Windows 2000 for big applications like adobe photoshop, having an 18 gig hard drive does help over come this. But if you have something smaller, say a 4 gig dribe I really recomend just keeping to one operating syste. But yeah seprarting programs that requie a specific version of Windows is a good idea not only dos ot save time but you won'thave such a big head ache. Oh yeah downnload the latestdrivers for your Banshee and it should work fine with 3D based games, thats what I did on my voodoo 3. Anyrate I hope that helps.
