Dan, my daughters machine is dual-boot, Win98SE and Win2K with 512M RAM. The HDD has 2 partitions, a FAT32 for Win98SE, and NTFS for Win2K. There are no problems running this configuration. Is Win2K slower than Win98SE? Reviews indicate that it is. However, in real life I would be hard pressed to notice the difference on this P3 1Ghz machine. Realize that Win2K has a lot more overhead than Win98SE in memory management and disk management resulting in a much more stable and robust system. Here are a few links to understand Windows memory management and related problems: support.microsoft.com aumha.org Regarding the memory test. Did you reseat the memory to insure a good connection? There are a lot of pins on a stick and some sockets can get loose. Sometimes memory can be intermittent. Pull a stick and use the machine as normal for a few days to determine if memory errors occur. If there are no problems exchange the stick you pulled with one in the box. Use it as normal and monitor for errors. It's a pain I know, I've been there. It may also be a timing issue. Is the memory of the correct speed? Is the BIOS set to the correct memory speed? Some more useful Win98 links: pe.net Regards, Nick
