it's all about stability and efficiency... win2k is more stable and faster than 98...which in my books makes it a much better choice...

BURN BURN BURN!!! KILL THE BEAST!!!

microsoft stopped supporting the java virtual machine...i think there was a lawsuit from sun involved... just go to the above link and run there little automatic install thingie...worked for me :)

we've had some NT boxes at my company up for about 230 days... then the power went out for about 2 hours...and the UPS ran out of battery power..:(

i have to be the person who always brings xp down... when i upgraded my box from 2k to XP, i noticed a slight *decrease* in 3d performance...i had run 3dmark on 2k (on the same system) before i upgraded, and then ran it after i upgrade to XP, and there was a huge difference (15-20% faster is...

i wouldn't go so far as to say NT sucks...it definately had it's place, and did well, but now it's way past it's prime, and 2000 is the way to go...btw, there is *no* way to "down"grade a system from w2k to nt4, you need a format and reinstall...

don't go with ME no matter what you think...it's probably the most horrid OS ever written... to tell my tale, i find XP to be slower than 2000 in games. before i upgraded my machine from 2000 to XP, i ran a 3d mark test, and i compared it when i ran it under XP. XP was considerably slower...

yah...i get that error sometimes too...i update all my freebsd boxes around 4 or 5 in the morning using ntpdate, and probably once a week i get that message...i just think there is too much traffic going to the ntp server at that time, although, like always, i could be wrong :)

i'm glad you got it fixed...but it just seems ridiculous to me that windows couldn't adapt when you set the FSB to something other than 100...so much for a well built product...:)

did you get this service pack from microsoft? if not, it's seems pretty dumb to install it on your system...considering it is probably a beta...

I really think windows update is having some issues recently... I built a Win2K box the other day, and I got the same thing, "No updates available". I reformatted/reinstalled and still got the same thing. Then, after doing that again, I was finally able to get updates. It just seems to me that...

you're best bet? goto Linux Docs...it's a great site and you should probably be able to find a tutorial or something along those lines that helps you...

I'll take the BSD side of things... On FreeBSD and OpenBSD (any *BSD for that matter), the one thing that really drew me to it was the ports collection. It's just a bunch (7000+) of applications that have been specifically ported to the *BSD you are running. All you have to do is run "make...

if you think it's the memory, run Memtest on your computer, and you can figure out if you have bad RAM...
