Uh, Ken, Fat32 came with OSR2. (gratuitous repetition: But the customers don't want it! They want the original retail Win95! It's the best seller!) Though FAT32 is a bit confusing as it's incompatible with NT at this point. The less 16 bit code the better, of course, it's been awhile since there were any 286's out there. MMX channel? No idea what that means. As to disks, well you got various flavors of RAID available at the controller level that are transparent to the OS, as well as some kinds done within NT. These can increase bandwidth without going to specialized disk hardware. Right now, there's a fairly good balance between internal disk throughput and the channel to memory. UDMA has some headroom for increase disk throughput. I don't know, if Windows98 were fast and reliable it'd be worthwhile to me. I'm running NT now, it's more reliable but also noticably sludgier at times. Of course, Win95 would arbitrarily hang from seconds to forever for me, which is the ultimate in sludginess. But 32 meg seems a little small for NT. Then again, Win98 probably can't do anything about the fragile and unprotected FAT file system. Cheers, Dan.
