Sure jc; I am use to 98 and it works well except i have irq and memory problems so i am hope that i can fix these problems by using nt. I installed nt and found that it does not support multi monitors with out getting new video cards so until i figure out what i am going to do, i will run 98 during tradeing hours and fiddle with nt at other times. I also hope to get into some of the remote usefulness of the nt operating system later on.

JCC; Also, NT does not support 3D. Lots of fast moving games will not operate on NT. At least that has been my experience, I run both NT and Win98. peter

"Would you indulge me by telling me why you would want to have them both?" As Peter said, games are one thing. Windows NT won't allow any direct hardware access (for stability) and many 3D cards do just that. Windows 98 is great for these applications that require certain hardware that NT just will not support. For anything else though, NT is better in pretty much all aspects. I now have one box with DOS/3.11, 95, 98, NT, and 2000. Useful for different software/hardware compatibility testing, and troubleshooting. Rich
