buh, all three statements are false.

98 is slow and unstable
red hat is the dj sammy of linux
xp is pretty good, but i still hate it

either get mandrake 9.1 or windows2000. i have win2k and it's so awesome and stable, i don't need anything else.

mandrake 9.1 is pretty awesome too, but it's linux, so it's not quite up to my liking.

98 is faster imo than xp...The NT based Os's are slower (maybe on the comps aI run them on)...2000 is the only Microsoft OS that has never given me shit...

XP<2000

Whiny little bitches-
god-
XP is fine- I've had my computer on for a year now and have rebooted a couple times.

2000 is fine.

if you have an older computer then get 98

what kind of idiot puts xp on a pii500 or something

Posted by vswede on Feb-25-2004 20:47:

xp and 2000 rock thats where to go
xp = 2000 + pretty version
2000 good nice and simple and stable!

it depends what your hardware is.. I have a new comp with all top of the line new hardware.. usb 2.0.. hyperthreading.. so I noticed a HUGE difference from 2000 to XP since only XP supports those two.. but if you have an old dinasour I would go with 2000

usb2.0 is supported by almost everything

hyperthreading is a CPU-based feature and it has nothing to do with os

are you, by any chance, one of those people that say "megahurtz? yeah, i've got several of those installed in my computer! it's really fast now because of them"?

i'm wondering now what kind of "top of the line" hardware you have there...

old dinosaur... win2k is pretty resource-consuming, not as much as XP, but still... an old dinosaur will not be able to run it smoothly

sigh.. I wonder the same thing about you..

I built my computer my self with parts I purchased new on eBay (it wasn't a Barebones-system)

Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
Nvidia FX5200 Ultra
512Mb RAM
Samsung DVD/CDRW Drive
Intel 9875PBZ Motherboard
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 Sound Card

all previous versions of windows do not support hyperthreading becuase the OS does not have the protocals to take advantage of it (it makes the CPU operate like a dual processor)

and NO, USB 2.0 is not supported by ALL OSs.. If I wanted to get it to work on Win 2000 or Win XP (Before SP1) I would of had to install updated drivers which a lot of the time don't work anyway (fuckin microsoft)

To summarize, the basic Windows 2000
Workstation version will NOT utilize the hyperthreading technology on
a dual CPU machine since the machine will appear to have 4 CPUs and
that version of W2K is only licensed for two CPUs. This is not a
technical limitation, only a licensing limitation. In the worst case,
if the BIOS counts both logical process on the first physical CPU
first, then W2K will not use the second CPU at all, resulting in
performance degradation.

quote:
I think Intel has muddied the waters with the term "Hyperthreading".
If you have spare time, I suggest you read the developer documentation
from Intel regarding "Hyperthreading". I've delved into quite a few
articles and there is no mention of any special support required other
that properly (key word is PROPERLY) multi-threading your program.

why do i even bother?

Umm not quite hypertheading is the diet coke of dual processors. Yes two logical operations can be preformed at once. But both of the cores have to share system
resources.

quote:
Unlike a traditional dual processor (DP) configuration that uses two separate physical IA-32 processors (such as two Intel� Xeon� processors), the logical processors in a processor with Hyper-Threading technology share the execution resources of the processor core, which include the
execution engine, the caches, the system bus interface, and the firmware.
