I am upgrading my machine very soon. my pc thanx to my own efforts is just hanging together, my internal cd writer is now an external one etc, installing win98 every week, anyway my question is this

What type of machine do you have cpu and graphics card. Just so i know what to aim for when i buy my cpu and graphics card in the next fortnight. Dont want to be sitting here illegally operating every other minute. Thanx for any advise.

I have an original Athlon 750 (good luck finding one) with ATI All-in-Wonder 128 (I need my DVDs). Never had a problem with the editor.

I just bought a new MB with Duron 900, but haven't set it up yet.

I don't really have problem with Win98 dying on me anymore. I Have the OS in its own partition. I got all devices installed - ONE AT A TIME! Get the latest drivers for all devices. After that, use Windows Update to get all latest OS fixes. Make sure everything is OK. After a week or 2, I use Drive Image to make an image copy of the OS partition in a stable state. If it starts crashing, I restore the image and I'm off.

Just make sure you keep your data in a different partition so you don't lose it. And don't forget things in My Documents, and browser cookies and favorites.

geforce 2 (and I think even next versions) has a problem with the T&L so when you try to draw doors, many polygons may disappear (I have a geforce 2 now)
