Which version of Windows to use?
Hi all! I am about to set up an old computer for a friend as a christmas present. It is an AMD Athlon 866Mhz with 128mb of RAM, a 40 gig maxtor, a CD/RW, and DVD Rom. I know it's a little old, but it's good for what he wants to use it for. My question is what version of Windows should I put on this thing? I've narrowed it down to either 98se or 2000pro. 98 would run better with only 128 megs of RAM, but 2000pro is a lot more stable & reliable. Any suggestions?
