Here is MS reasons to upgrade: microsoft.com Basically, if your running a 166 or slower chip, don't waste your money. They system will become very sluggish. My P120 notebook with 48 megs of ram slowed down at least 50%. I re-installed Win95 and opening apps etc, improved at least 50+%. Have a P166MMX on Win98, It slowed the performance. Yep it shuts down faster, but opening and closing apps is still a bit slow. Nothing wrong with Win95 as long as you have the patches installed. My P450 with 128 megs of ram runs fine on Win98.

"Also, a new version of 98 is coming out soon so you might want to wait for that (if it isn't already out)." Interesting. I wasn't aware that they were releasing an updated version so quickly. One thing that people running Windows 98 tend to neglect is the Windows Update. It's right there in your Start Menu and automatically connects you to Microsoft's site and upgrades the Windows 98 and certain Microsoft apps on your system. For people who run Outlook Express and Explorer it's an absolute must. Richard
