OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

[Greybeard]

Thanks for the advice. I'm still using Windows95 for my OS. I know it's old, but not succeptible to most of the current viruses.

Ragnarok: Thanks for the help. Guess I'm just getting old!

And, Thank You Rollo!

Q: Wheew, glad I don't live in Europe. 512MB's RAM here, going for about $40.00.

Used 95 for a long time. It is alot more stable than most of the new OS's. Now running 98SE. Pretty good!!

Uhh... no. Win95 is one of the least stable OS out there (besides WinME, anyways ). Win2000 and WinXP are very stable OS that normally do not crash.

Some other products: winROCKET and RAMrocket at Ascentive.com. You might find these of use.

If your system is "slowing down", try to uninstall a lot of the small programs.
Gator, WeatherBug, various add in toolbars for your browser, fancy programable keyboard, mouse and other drivers that don't contribute a lot to performance.
I remove those on a regular basis at work, (where we run Win 95 and Office 2000).
There is another program that changes your desktop everytime you log into the internet.

Imperator Fyron: Moddfied 95 to the MAX. It was very stable. WinME?? Win2000, almost NT. WinXP, Microsofts RENT an OS, don't think so. No matter how stable it is!

Actually, there is nothing wrong with 2000. It doesn't have the gaming problems of NT. And XP is basically the fisher price Version of 2000 anyways.

Then 2000 has problems too Every single game I've tried to instal on my new XP laptop (old one's screen imploded) has failed to work right. This is all in compatability mode BTW..

TWE: Gun animations play very slowly.
Worms: Crashes every time it switches resolution. So I can only play in 640x480.
Pinball: crashes, period. (this is somewhat ironic because an inferior Version of the SAME GAME comes with Windows XP, and works)

That's cause fisher price XP has no DOS kernal.

99% of games I have tried to run on 2000 have run with no problems.

[Phoenix-D]

Not one of those games uses DOS Two of them use DirectX, actually.
