Dual Processors and Sw Bugs Couple of observations: dual processors could be nice IF you have SW that will utilize them and a budget to support the buy. Personal opinion based on 35 years in the computer industry: Always wait at least 6 months before purchasing new SW, if you will be installing on a "work" platform. If its to be installed on a test platform and you understand the ins and outs of patches and can afford delays waiting for fixes, then go for it. For example, MS and IE 4.0. They've provided two major patches and it still only functions correctly on 50 to 70% of all Win platforms. And if IE 4.0 doesn't work correctly, it bombs in a big way. As it happens IE 4.0 is also a major portion of Win98. The only thing going for you here is that the IE in Win98 is not the same as for Win95 and therefore it MAY play better in Win98. Although some companies (MS?) never get it completely right, the first six months ensure the major problems are corrected. Of course those determined to pay to be beta testers will gladly purchase anything Gates decides they need. Networm
