What OS Is good for gaming??
win98 win2k or winME

[chipbgt]

Right now its win98 with win2k far behind (many games I have wont even run on it)

But WinMe is supposed to be a much more stable version of win98 so it looks like a good shot when its released.

I am a big fan of Unix operating systems, but for games, I use Win95B. Next up would be the Win98 OS. Skip the 2K stuff for now. I have no idea about WinMe so I would skip that altogether and just use Win98.

Go with a proven performer for games.

For real operating systems, skip MS and go Unix http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/biggrin.gif

If you need a O/S right now get Win98se if you are using something now and can wait a couple months look at Win ME as it should be an improvement over 98, if you are basically just/mostly gaming forget 2000 its way more than you need and many games wont run on it.

A couple months? I think it is more like a couple of weeks.
"the company expects to release this consumer operating system to manufacturing on June 13, 2000."

I currently have RC1 installed and I think it will be worth the wait.

I am sure it will not cost $300. I would think around $90 or $100 would be the cost of a upgrade.

Wow, June 13! Does anyone know if it would be worth getting early, does it still have thousands of bugs like Win98 at the release? Should I wait for the bugs to be worked out before getting it? And also, will it support the Windows 98/95 drivers, or do I need to wait for separate drivers?

I'm with aBill on this one: Forget M$ and go for Unix/Linux. I'm not a gamer but a friend who is has Linux running on a P-166 & he runs it as a Quake server, Doom server and a Half-Life server ALL AT THE SAME TIME ! Try that with Windoze.

And, it's a FREE O.S.

[smart @ss]yeah, but can he play Quake, Doom and Half Life on the p166[/smart @ss]
