Thanks General but I don't think I want to go that route.
And ED, I have never found OS dope on mobo specs. And believe me I have
looked.
At this point, I am assuming that winMe is not compatable with 64bit
hardware. Thanks all...BobV
Bob,
If what you want to do is run things like MS Office then Win4Lin9x is a
much better way to do it then running WinMe natively. Win4Lin9x runs at
native speeds but it's much more stable then a native Win9x system because
it's running on top of Linux. It's integrated into the Linux environment,
for example you can cut and paste between Windows and Linux applications
and Windows can see any Linux directory that you want to let it see (you
configure Linux directories as Windows disks). The downside of Win4Lin9x
is that that it requires a kernel patch and the latest kernel that they
have support for is 2.6.14.x. Win4Lin has a newer product called
Win4LinPro which will run 2K and XP on top of Linux. W4LPro doesn't
require a kernel patch but it's performance is much worse than Win4Lin9x.
There have been other posters here who are happy with Pro but they either
have a much higher threshold of pain then I do or there is something about
their configurations thats different than mine.
