tango2 Â Â 10 #5 Posted September 17, 2004 why do you have to upgrade to 98se? Â I have a system on 98 and uses broadband ok I have one that runs on 95 and also uses Broadband, one on ME (less said the better) and one on XP Pro. Â All the systems use broadband, allthough some shops claim a certain Os is required, I have found this not to be true. The lower spec (older) setups that I play around with all run well on Broadband so dont believe the hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Skatiechik   10 #6 Posted September 17, 2004 What is the specification of your computer system? The reason I ask it may be better looking for someone with a copy (assuming you would want to go down that route) with a better operating system.  Windows 2000 is a good operating system, and runs well on fairly low specification machines. It also doesn't have the stability problems Win98 does, and is able to cope with NTFS rather than FAT32. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
