<Why are you still using Win 95? And you live in HK???? Did Shan Shui Po close down???> Hi Don ! You may be surprised, but Bloomberg recommends W95 and does not recommend W98. My machine exists primarily for running the Bloomberg software. My display solution is great - four 14" LCD panels in a quad configuration. More display area than two 20" CRT screens side-by-side! Regarding upgrading to Windows 98... I've read tons and tons of horror stories about the no-no's of upgrading from W95 to W98. If you can help me de-bug any resulting incompatibilities, I'd love to upgrade. As you have mentioned, HK is the mecca of pirated software, so it's not the availability or cost of the software which is holding me back... Hong Kong, as you know, is also the mecca of build-it-yourself PCs. All varieties of motherboards, DRAMs, CPUs by the dozen. But no Rambus. Zilch. Even with a fistful of golden $1000 bills, nada. That's why I'm so disappointed about the penetration of RMBS into the mass market.
