3 years ago when I got my first PC (P3, 733 MHz, 128 RAM, Voodoo FX 4800 AGP 32 MB video card) it came with Windows ME. It worked for the first little bit until I was running a few programs and it just sllllloooowwwwweeeeddddd down. Seriously I could click the minimize button and go downstairs, get a drink and pet the dog and come back up just as the window was finishing the minimization. This was before I knew anything about Prefetch, Cache, Temp, Tweaks, etc, but you shouldn't have to know about that stuff for a PC to run good. Windows ME would literally stutter and restart itself! WINME = worst OS EVER. Windows XP SP2 nLited.
