Brian Frank 0 Posted March 21, 2001 8) Stay away from ME; go with 98se hands down. ME is more trouble than its worth, especially if you have any dos games you'd like to run. Share this post Link to post
rgodart 0 Posted March 21, 2001 I agree, for games 98 of 98se is the best choice. You don't want all the bells and wistles Me has to offer. Share this post Link to post
Spuds 0 Posted March 21, 2001 Yes, if you're going to do it at all, Win98 is the better choice. I recently was running Win98SE and W2K in a dual boot configuration (using the 98 partition for games). But I got soooo fed up with maintaining both OS's and having Win98 tank on me that I blew it away and now only use W2K. I know there are a lot of mitigating factors such as this and this game won't work and frame rates, blah, blah, blah, but the gaming experience itself is so much better under W2K that I decided this was the better course of action (your sanity SHOULD play a role in these decisions). Yes, there are some games that won't run under W2K, screw'em. I only buy games now that I know run under W2K (thanks to this site). I haven't been sent to the sanitarium as yet.
