| Anonymous | Yes, I have a Win 98 CD for sale. How much you willing to pay, and do you need a copy with the CD key, cause that'll be more. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:29pm | ||
| wronskian | yes, i need a key with that. how much would you sell it for? set a price and we can go from there. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:33pm | ||
| Anonymous | Let me look to see how many copies I have left. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:36pm | ||
| Anonymous | Ok, I am sold out of Win98 CD Keys, but I have an unused Win2000 PRO CD w/key and I can burn it for you with the Key for $25. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:39pm | ||
| wronskian | no, it's got to be windows 98. thanks, anyway. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:44pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | email me and I'll burn and give you a copy no charge. Trying to sell an old pos os like winblows 98 is like trying to sell dirt weed. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 8:43pm | ||
| Anonymous | Hey, thats what I wanted the money for! Dirt weed that is. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 8:59pm | ||
| Jason User Info... | 2 questions. a)why use 98? 2000pro is far more stable. b)why pay money? - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 9:43pm | ||
| Anonymous | why use 2000pro, XPpro rocks its ass. Anyhow, he probably has a puter wth not enough ram or mobo support for NT kerneloliolio - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:34am | ||

| Anonymous | Ok 1) Win98 SE is the best microsoft gaming platform. 2) 2000 PRO is better if you are doing high end compiling or you want to host a server and you are too stupid to use Linux 3) WinXP sucks goats ass. Unstable, uncompatible, uses WAAAAY too many resources, it sucks. 4) Anyone who has not seen Enlightenment running in a gnome gui has no idea what the hell they are missing. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 1:45pm | ||
| Anonymous | Come to the light. It's time to switch to Macintosh. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 2:15pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Win98 SE is just the bloatware version of 98 and is NOT superior in any way shape or form to windows 98. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:20pm | ||
| Anonymous | Hey Shaggy, you are wrong. Win98 SE can use higher end hardware that Win 98 couldn't touch. SE provided support for using over 512 megs of ram and over 1 gig proc support as well as video cards over 64 megs and ultra IDE FULL support, so that it doesn't run at half-duplex. To some people who have shitty computers this means squat, but it does matter if you bought a computer in the last couple of years. If you use high end shit with win 98 it will not be used to it's full potential. Have you ever tried to play Everquest without SE? There is a big difference. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:21pm | ||
| Computer Technician | Windows 98 is CRAP. XP is by far the superior gaming system. If your game doesnt work, its an old piece of crap. Ive worked daily with all of the above OS's for years ( well 2 years with XP ) and XP is easily the most stable and compatible system. WIN98 is worse then win95. XP has driver support for most equipment less then 4 years old with the rare exception with compannies who manufacture hardware and want you to buy new stuff instead of upgrade ( lower end companies ) XP has faster game play, and is an all around faster OS, and by far the best that Microslop has ever produced. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:23pm | ||
| Anonymous | And the Macintosh is superior to Microshit but Linux is far better on both PCs and MACs. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:27pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Pull your head from your ass. Any version of winblows ME and lower doesn't support nor optimise anything above 512mb unless you piss around with registry settings and all that does is stop the out of memeory errors. As for adding more "top" end support for hardware that's a crock as well since drivers for the "top end" hardware are developed by the hardware manufacturer not MS. At present my winblows 98 gaming box is running GeForce 4 Ti 4200 as well as a SB Live! 5.1 Platinum. So what was that you were saying? Maybe try to talk shit to someone that hasn't been working with computers and networks for over 10 years. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:30pm | ||
| Computer Technician | MAC is ok, but MAC OS 10 is ridden with bugs, has poor game support, is a bad internet surfing OS and the machine to run it costs $2000 or more. MAC is good for people into video, graphics, layout etc. and thats it. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:32pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | P.S. (since i wasn't signed in on this box so can't edit. Support for processors is handled by the motherboard and BIOS, not the OS. And yes I've played EQ on every OS microsoft makes and it makes no difference whatsoever to an MMOG. From my experience with EQ ( I used to frequent their tech boards almost daily to assist people that shouldn't even own computers let alone game with them), the problems always come down to the user and their complete and utter lack of knowledge in how to set them up properly. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:36pm | ||
| Anonymous | Shaggy, 10 years? Your pretty stupid for someone who has been playing for that long. There is no ultra IDE cache support for Win 98, look it up. Like I said, you can run higher end hardware, but will not use it's full potential. Look up what the l1 and l2 caches are for 98 and then SE, then tell me what is faster. Yes I know you are going to say something stupid like that it is based on your proc and planer board but check out the difference in what the software reads. Do a dual boot with your machine, compile a kernel on both and see the difference. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:36pm | ||
| Anonymous | PS: then you know that EQ requires at least 512 megs of ram to run all textures and that you need more to run farthest clip plane, dual layered skies, 1024 res, high details, etc. I think you are pretty limited in your thinking, don't worry I have met people like you before who are told something by a mentor and refuse to believe the truth. I know that even if we sat down and did benchmarks you would argue that it was rigged. But hey, ms networkers, web designers, A+ techies tend to all be the same little script kiddies. Linux techies, programmers(don't tell me you can do VB and that makes you a programmer), and everyone else tend to be more, not retarded. Have fun working at boomers. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:42pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Winblows has had the same support for UDMA (a.k.a. ATA 100/133 or Ulta IDE) drives since win98 original and continued up until Windows ME. Go find a utility called HD tech and run the tests, I've done so allready and there is no difference between either 98/98 SE in those benchmarks and Windows ME actually benchmarks slower. The only problems UDMA drives ever had with win98 was during an upgrade from win95. Read and learn before you spout off about things you obviously don't understand. It's known industry wide the problem is OS oriented, but I guess even the large hardware manufacturers are sheep right? http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/3835.html As for EQ needing 512mb minimum to run Luclin (and only Luclin) ayepp, if you want to run all the textures and max clip plane you need a minimum of 512MB....and? Any limitations in that scenario has to do with the way VI has coded their product and it's inetaction with the OS and DirectX , not windows. Personally I can't stand winblows in any of it's forms. Unfortunately since they hold a monopoly on the OS market that is what the majority of hardware manufacturers support. Once WineX supports my current MMOG (DAoC), winblows will be gone from both my gaming rigs in favor of Debian Linux. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:45pm | ||
| GEEK | [vcache] minfilecache=2048 maxfilecache=12288 chunksize=256 This is a major difference in SE, as media files were not expected to be so big. You can change this manually in regedit for just WIN98. Although SE will utilize media files better, changing this can increase media file quality a bit for 98 users. There is also quite a few other cache differences that reg hacking can not support. There is no support for use of over 512 mg ram in WIN98, but in WIN98SE you can increase this at the expense of changing values in your registry and loss of DDR functionality. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:58pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | Oh and the link I posted above had to do with the memory limitations in win9x/ME, not UDMA drives. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 4:28pm | ||
| Anonymous | MAC is good for people into video, graphics, layout etc. and thats it. So, the Mac is good for people that actually use their computers to work for a living and Winblows is for those who have time to fritter away? HeHe, I love baiting Wintel users they are sooooo sensative. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 5:00pm | ||
| Curious George | This conversation hurts my head. Why are people getting so pissy about computers? Chill out. Time to turn it off and get outside for a while! - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 6:01pm | ||
| S.V. | No kidding George! Kiss and make up kids! For that matter step away from the box and enjoy the sunshine (or rain). I would but I'm at work. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 6:04pm | ||
| Curious George | Naughty S.V... your boss is paying you to post on LiveVic? - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 6:09pm | ||
| S.V. | Hey I'm on a coke break! Cola that is :) Besides I don't really have a "boss" at the moment...hehehehehhe - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 6:12pm | ||
