Man, you are so freaking wrong on that point! If there was ever any doubt about your operating system experience before, it's surely gone now. Netware up through 5.x required DOS or PC-DOS in order to start up. Repeat: required it! And by the way, unloading DOS from memory after server.exe started was an option; it did not automatically erase DOS from memory. Again, clearly you are lacking real experience with Netware, and other other operating systems as well.



You can't unload DOS from memory in Windows 98 without crashing the system. In Netware, you could unload DOS from memory without any problems. Netware just needed DOS to boot. That was it.

When WIndows 9X loads, it does not erase DOS from memory, it simpkly bypasses it. Windows 98 has to use 16-bit DOS to boot. It cannot boot any other way. It also dpeends on WIN16 code from Windows 3.X which also makes it a 16-bit OS with 32-bit extensions.

It depends on which link he clicks on from Google.

A lot of (usually inaccurate) knowledge + little to no understanding = link19
 
Hey link. Im typing this from windows 98. How does that make you feel? This text comes from windows 98!! The OS that has scarred you for life!! 😱

That is embarassing that such a fast high end system would be subject to such a POS OS like Win98SE/ME. High end systems deserve to be subject to a good quality OS like WinNT/2K/XP/2K3.
 
Link19, why is it impossible for you to think that dos can be 32 bits? When they released win98 it's not like they kept all their old 16 bit binairies.....I mean it's microsoft...they have the source code for dos. If they want to modify it and recompile it as 32 bits, it's possible.

Stupid POS crickets!!!


Link19 never seems to offer me any intelligent retort. It's kind of dissappointing. I keep hoping that I will either irritate him so much he goes away or that he will give me some solid and intellectually stimulating debate.

*sigh*

Hm. POS-Link19 what exactly do you define as "DOS". Are you talking about the boot code, io.sys, msdos.sys, command interpreter or what?

I'm not really sure you even know what constitutes DOS, a 16bit OS, a 32 bit OS etc. Do you even know what preemptive multitasking is? Real mode, protected mode? Virtual memory?

Your sig has the quote "pseudo 32-bit code on top of a native 16-bit architecture". What the hell does that mean actually? What is pseudo 32-bit code? What do you mean by 16-bit architecture? Really man, the statement makes no sense. It's like "reverse thunking" or something.

Please explain what you mean. Whatever idea it is you are trying to convey it's not reaching me and I'm just left thinking you are a tard.

You have much explaining to do.

Why is it embarrassing? It's my rig I'll run what I fvcking like on it, and no little fvcking POS retard(read link9x) is going to tell me otherwise.

A lot of people(including myself) still like and use Win98, you'll just have to get use to that fact, because no matter how much you cry like the little whiney fvcked up bitch you are, things aren't gunna change.

You should put that in your sig 🙂 I'm almost tempted to put This post was powered by Ubuntu in my sig, but my sig hasn't changed in 6 years so I don't know.

Here's what thing that will change. You won't be able to run new games and software on POS Windows 98/ME. That is what I expect to happen. As long as new software is Windows 2K/XP only and won't stand a chance to run on POS Windows 98/ME, I will be happy.
 
OMG its that POS Link 9x!

POS Link 9x should never have been made!!!! :|

He's extremely buggy, hugely insecure and very very unstable!!!!!

I don't know what his parents were thinking releasing something that crap!!!! :disgust:

Link19 is more unstable than 16-bit DOS. Thats only because rumor has it, he's 2-bit code on top of native "his dad beat the dog over the fence" architecture.

I have computers with socket A and socket 754 motherboards and they work just fine. Nevertheless, I'm thinking about building a new computer using a socket 939 motherboard but I can't seem to find one which supports Windows ME.

In short, are there any companies that produce a socket 939 motherboard which supports Windows ME or is socket 939 limited to newer versions of Windows? If so, are there operating systems other than Windows which support socket 939 motherboards?

Any information or advice regarding my dilemma is appreciated.

my question would be: why wouldn't the computer be able to run windows 98? when the computer boots initially, it basically a glorified 80386 computer (that's running as a glorified 8086 computer), so it should be able to run windows 98.

No it won't, not for a long while...people will still adapt newer software to run on Win98SE(like myself...Prey runs like a champ on Win98SE, just a pity it's a sucky game)...so I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you.

Yes it will. In fact, it already has changed. It is almost 2007 for crying out loud. New video cards have already came about that new games will require. Guess what, there are no drivers for POS Windows 98/ME for the GeForce 7XXX video cards and there never will be. So no chance for getting the most out of those games.

Software is advancing, and it is soon to not stand a chance to run on POS Windows 98/ME. Most new software developed the last couple of eyars that is for Windows 2000/XP only won't staqnd a chance to ruin on POS Windows 98/ME. Some can and will, BUT most software DESIGNED FOR 2K/XP ONLY, NO WAY it stands a chance to run on such a POS OS.
 
Link19, can't you offer anything useful to these forums?

You're "Win98 is a POS(point of sale???)" is getting very tired, you can't back up any of your claims and generally make an ass of yourself.
