Richard, Hi. Sounds like good advice. I'm curious as to why you reccomend the PII instead of the Celeron? The Celeron just seems so neat, with the on-die cache, nearly identical performance and half the price. I know businesses are supposed to buy the PII because they're more "respectable". Also, do you think that 98 runs slower than 95? And if so, is there some architectural reason for it? I switched back to 95 and it just seems a lot snappier. And, yes, I did defragment with the option chosen to make programs start faster (which is ANOTHER time consuming deal on 98 -- at least the first time you do it). Hell, without that, 98 would drive me crazy in a day (2 days with it). BTW, I'm running a Celeron @ 300MHz. Thanks, wily
