Oh yes.. you are right.. I think like you .. I prefer upgrage hardware instead tweak it for get few little extra cycles/performance ...but this time this solution is totally imposible for me. Im running a very ancient Tiny laptop (a toshiba libretto) and its very difficult and expensive get memories for that model cause it does not use standard memopry chips. Cause its a very portable computer Im trying to get all the best from it (I use it daily) Really computer works nice with 98lite.. my uses are listend mp3, read books/comics and maybe play some low cpu games.. but sometimes I run out of memory and I hear the HD working for the virtual memory. Removing the systray and disabling the soundcard when I dont use it improve the memory resources... but Im not sure what more things unnistall.. My basic needs are: -sound (when playin Mp3s) -video (for read books/PDF or colour comics) Hey.. maybe an old question... what colour deep is better: 8/16/24bits? I can use any of these modes but not sure what will give best performance. For example the comics I read are scanned usually at 24bits colours. What happend if use 8 or 16 bits modes on my videocard? there are more CPU cyles needed for decode the image? maybe more memory is involved into this process? btw.. currently my win98 consume 20mb after bootup... anyone have got smaller ammount using win98 or 98lite? (Im not sure if Ill try winimize since I heard there are problems for add video/audio support installing drivers)
