I had WinXP on it but it crawled. I am thinking of putting Win98SE or WinME on it and using it for some old multi player games. So I NEED some good advice.
Games:
Unreal Tournament GOTY
Dukenukem3D
Heretic/Hexen/HexenII
QuakeIII (if it will play with 4mb video)
1, I wont be using any web browsers on it since it is just for multi player FPS games. Does that mean connected to the internet, I am immune from getting infected by a virus or exploits since I don't web-browse with it?
2, which should I use Win98SE or WinME for my particular computer for these games? and why?
3, should I install any of the unofficial service packs since this computer is just for games?
Perhaps someone is using a similar system for the exact purpose that I am. What do you recommend?
