| 190559 | 2003-11-10 06:36:00 | For an experienced Windows user there is little practical operational difference at all between Win98 and Win2000, especially if you elect to use the Windows Classic interface. The key differences lie much deeper than the user interface so if you will be using Win2000 at the program interface you won't need much familarisation at all. I endorse Kiwibeat's advice about drive imaging too. It will return you to W98 in just 10-15 minutes, and if you image Win2000 as well while it is installed, you will be able to put that back again later if you want to without going through the whole installation process.

| 190560 | 2003-11-14 15:17:00 | 15.11.3, So here I am, Win2000 running like a dream, the drive that I thought I would use failed, so I dual booted onto 'E' drive NFTS, and, as predicted it was slow for a while, I have a program which monitors internet dialogue and the software did a lot of talking to somewhere, then suddenly the machine came up to speed, because as was pointed out this is a sad little CPU, but right now I am very satisfied, it is running as fast as Win98SE, and from the centre of the drive, and dare I use the word is 'Slick'. I am putting info back into the Win98 system and there is no problem. Win2000 is over-viewing the entire instalation that I had before and Win98SE does not even know that it exists. As I type to you it is also running WinAmp 2.91 and I am so pleased with the over-all performance of my computer. As soon as I move up to or over 1GigHz CPU on the same hard drive this is going to be a killer system. What I want to say though is that a lot of information was going somewhere, no doubt about that, for about 4 hours continuous and then suddenly the computer came up to speed. I used Zone Alarm to restrict the dialogue and the internet became unavailable, so I let it do its thing and after a while it sped up. Probably reporting back to Microsoft. I was so busy getting other things organised that I did not record the IP's it was talking to. It was communicating on at least 6 ports, and listening on many more. It has been a lot of work but well worth it. The view program is called TCPview. Useful for checking on anything that is communicating out of your computer without your knowledge. Catch up with you soon. Regards Robert. |
