So im formatting my pc tonight and i got both these versions of Windows..which do you guys think is better??

Ahhh hate to say it but 98 is way better than Me, Me is known to be crap! My buddy had it also and he had nothing but trouble all the time so I told him to get rid of it by throwing it over the balcony....lol he put on 98 and it worked fine. I mean it's not perfect but far better, good luck!

Is your version of 98 the second edition? If so that's one of the better OS, or so I've heard.

I've had no problems with Windows ME (I did a clean install).

Win98 is not supported by Microsoft anymore.

I suggest getting Windows XP Home.

I had better luck with ME over 98. If you have access to XP though use it!

It's all about 98 SE. I was running this until 2 months ago and never had any problems at all.

Sure it'd be easier to not have to install your drivers your self, but think of all the harddrive space you'd be wasting with that impuissant piece of BloatWare called Windows ME. Plus 98 is much smaller and I believe things (in general) run better on it. On top of that... you'd prolly want the most recent drivers you could download... wouldn't you?

I concur.

Windows 98 and ME eat ass.

ME just stands for More Errors.

:werd: I had no problems with ME but everyone says it sucks, I think it was fine. I got Windowns XP Pro and I seem to have had more problems with it than ME but that was when I first used it, so it doesn't count....:D
