Poll: Windows 9x/Me reboots

[ablang]

How often do you reboot your machine?

I reboot my Win98 machine daily, usually due to low system resources or reduced performance.

Down load Ram Booster, it will free up memory and let you run 24/7, here's the link:http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10102-100-1400043.html?tag=st.dl.10001-103-1.lst-7-2.1400043

Whenever I'm not using it, down it goes.

I've tried Rambooster on a few and it seems marginal at best.

On one unit, a AMD K6-2 233 Win95 it consumed almost 40% CPU usage, waaaaay too much.

I try to keep msconfig as lean as possible and usually keep resources above 60%.

I NEVER re-boot as a result of low system resources, anymore that is.

ON my old HP K6-2 333 it frequently need a boot to re-gain, a boost of RAM and o/c and it now runs fine. (or did till I screwed with it again)

'Bout 200 times in the last couple days.

My machines are on 24/7, the only time I reboot is if there's a problem, when an install/uninstall requires it, or after a defrag.

I am running a file server with a cable modem on win98se, i reboot once a day because the speeds tend to drop after 12-19 hours of uptime. Otherwise rather stable.

I only reboot when I have a problem. With that said, I reboot 3-4 times a day (just kidding). I use freemem to free up resources. It is actually about once every other week on my win98 system. It is my second system. I have Win2K on my main system and run an FTP server so it is rebooted often to reclaim resources that are not reclaimable with a memory tool.
