I only ever used Win98 once, and while I had no problems with it, I
was already an NT user and then upgraded to Win2kPro, so it never had
a chance......  Win2kPro doesn't needs tons of memory, we have had it
running in 32mb, and we once got NT3.51 to run on a 386 processor, but
most of our machines are 450mhz 733mhz or 1ghz, nothing faster as we
don't need it for anything. Memory is usually 256mb minimum, but we
have 3 X 256mb cards on one machine that we use for graphics, and one
machine that is purely backup for the others.
