My brother has both of them. He is kind of a computer freak, and he collects old computer hardware, and parts. But neither one of them are on a comp at this time.

Well yeah, the only reason I use my 98 is on my laptop for basic gaming like Roller Coaster Tycoon. It can't even go online or anything. For my work I use XP.

By the way, are they worth anything (because they are so old?) Probably not, but I'd regret it if it was and I didn't ask.
i still use 98... and yeah most software don't support it... i bough a w550i and the PC suites doesn't support it... now i cannot transfer music... have to buy a bluetooth thingy...

as long as you are not going to use newer application software and games 98 will do , but for the latest one's I feel you need 2000 or XP

I have one machine that runs 95 because it is an old system and it is just used by someone for playing solitaire and basic web browsing. Upgrading it would only make it peform worse. I think the computer was a new compaq system in 1997 or 1998.

I also have a laptop with Windows 98 on it. I do have it dual boot with redhat, but as for windows it would not serve me well to put xp on it. With 64 megs of ram and 300mhz cpu, XP would be of no use.

I still find some uses for these old machines, for sure!

Browser Firefox run the old os in fast PC


Install win 95 in a 500 or so mgz pc with 128 mb or more and see if its to slow for you. I use it often! I've got the version that has not intergrated Ie so it is most likely more secure than any Os that uses that infamous browser, be it 98 or xp! There are some people out here working on hyper 95 machines!
