Are the videos equally slow when played on Windows 2000?
You need a very fast internet connection for videos to play smoothly. Or else you
have to wait for them to download completely and replay them from the beginning.
If the hardware has not been upgraded on your 1998 or 99 E machine, now is a good
time to do it. Second hand fast Pentium III's and RAM are dirt cheap. In fact you
should be able to pick up a whole PIII box more powerful than yours for the price
of the CPU and the RAM.
Having two operating systems won't slow the system down, but unless you have a specific
reason for dual booting 2000/ME, such as games or other programs that require 9x
but won't run on Win2000, then you may as well give WinME the flick. Software companies
are gradually dropping support for 98SE/ME. It will become hazardous online when
there are no longer any updated virus definition files for those OS's. Win2000 has
a few more years left in it.
