Will any OS allow me to do it all?

[pdqcarrera]

Okay, I know I'm being totally demanding and perhaps just a wee bit unrealistic thinking a single PC can accomodate my needs, but this (see below) is what I have and need to run. But as some of you wonderfully helpful forum friends have pointed out to me, WIN98 ain't gonna let me do this -- no way, no how. :disgust: But then WIN2K isn't compatible with all of my hardware and it won't feed my Quake2 WoD on-line fragging addiction either. :frown: I also understand ME is worthless and XP is months away and won't be any more compatible than 2K. Soooooo, can I possibly get away with this in a dual boot with 98 and 2K, or will 98 still freakout whenever I boot up with all this stuff? Maybe switching to an ASUS CUSL2 MoBo will be a less expensive but workable solution? I'm praying I don't have to build another PC and use two for all I do

have you tried booting into anything yet? there is nothing special there and it shuld work fine in win98 or 2000, try getting patches for win2k so all your stuff worksLipsysnet.com

I once tried triple-booting my computer.Just the case, mind you, not the monitor or any peripherals.The new motherboard, case, and PS alone cost me $250,and I forget how much it was for new CD-R,floppy,etc.

So,I definitely won't try this again.:disgust:

do you mean that all your h/w got damaged by the 3 boot?

if so how?
