I quite agree about your choice of NT4 or W2K having switched (in
a few weeks) from W98 --> WinMe --> W2K_SP2.
In 98 & Me I was getting low resources msgs too often. Now I get
none. As I understand it, the prior OSs would basically divide the
resources up like a pie while W2K/NT4 creates a virtual machine for
each application -- real multitasking.
However, I have come across the following problem in W2K:
I guess I'm a lazy uwser. Frequently I leave several programs open,
on the desktop. There have been times when a graphic heavy program
just won't load in or open a window. Mind you, there's no error msg
& the system certainly does *not* crash (as it's virtually
crash-proof) but there's an overload. I assume its video memory but
I'm not enough of a tech to really know this is the case.
It also seems to me that the ticker takes up lots of video resources
as when I don't have it running, everything else seem to run
differently, though this is not as apparent in W2K.
Just my .02.
I use no screen savers, standard fonts are loaded, machine has 384m ram,
60g HD, 64k video ram (?) & a 1.3Ghz chip.
