Who here still runs Windows 98, and what do you run it on?

Running on a PIII 500 at my parent's house.

We still have over 2,500 machines here running Windows 98. We don't have enough $$$ to replace them, or buy XP licenses for them.

PII 233 that functions as a mp3 jukebox
Epia C3 800 that is my kitchen desktop

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

My moms computer is still running windows 3.11

 

[dpm]

Well, I'm not running one, but I have to troubleshoot my parents k6-2/400 running 98SE so often that I feel like I am

 

[BillGates]

let's all point and laugh!

They're running it on broken promises, false hopes, and shattered dreams.

I did some work with 98 for my brother last month and I was amazed at how much I had forgotten about it already. :Q

xp 1700
its the family's computer and I havn't gotten around (read : have it setup family fool proof and to lazy to teach them XP) to installing xp. The computer absoluty flys on 98 however. And hardly ever crashes.

At home I have two computers - the gaming computer and the 'other' computer. If either me or my wife wants to play a game, we use the gaming computer - which runs Win XP. If the other person comes in and wants to use a computer - he/she must use the 'other' computer. It runs Win 98 - with a 300 MHz P2 processor and a whopping 64 MB RAM. It'll do internet, Word, Excel, Mathcad, and many games just fine. Of course any game made in the last 2 years will lag on it though.

Try the last 4 years, unless it's an update to solitaire!

Depends on what games your wife plays. Mine enjoys The Sims (with many expansion packs and downloads), Civilization 3, and Sim City 3000 on it. Maybe those are more than 2 years old now, but they definately aren't 4 years old.

XP1800+ o/c'd to XP2400+ (2 GHz). I have a legacy app that requires real DOS, and I like being able to fix a lot of Win problems from the command line with an ASCII text editor.

 

[Diz2K2]

Running Win98 SE on AMD K62 500 | 256 megs of PC133 SDRAM. Perfect for web surfing and office task. This is a backup backup system.

 

[buckmasterson]

Pretty much the same here with a 1700 oc'ed to 2400. I like still having dos. Some day I'll have to move on...
