benefit to upgrading from 98E to w2k/XP?
Lilwolf:
Also, XP has better directX support I hear (I haven't compared them... but thats what I hear anyway).
btw, stick with 98 unless your using a development system or need it for something specific. No real reason for games (in fact, reasons not to)
Howard_Casto:
Agreed for now 98's your best bet if it's a dedicated cab.

I don't know what sort of under the hood problems exist with Windows ME as opposed to 98, but I have experienced ME and bit and the boot up time is WAY faster than 98's boot up time. Probably boots up in about 1/4 of the time or less than it takes 98 to boot up. So that's sort of a good thing for arcade cabinets.

Windows Me is completely unstable on 95% of all pcs.... If you've got a machien that'll work on me then more power to ya, but it's a miracle that it works.

I'm probably going to downgrade from Win2k to 98SE in the near future. With 2k, I can't run Golden Tee Golf or Dragon's Lair, and everything I'm doing now, I can do in 98SE. The only reason I went with 2k in the first place was stability, but since I won't be doing much, there really isn't much chance of crashing.
