My 2 Cents / Sen / Ringgit / Kip / Pennies / whatever: - I've always had 64MB in my L110 (Win'98) - used it for two years, defragged regularly - then upgraded to a 30MB HDD with Win'2K I know it's subjective, but... I have to say, it's definitely faster with Win'2K and the 30GB HDD than it is with Win'98 and the 4.3GB HDD. As well as all the other advantages (I don't think I've found a disadvantage yet), it even boots faster... I've still got Win'98 on the old HDD and on the odd occasions I've popped it back in, it makes me smile by reminding me what a tremendous improvement has taken place. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
