[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 398015, member: 199791"] I used 98SE for as long as I could too, I still use it now and again for compatibility reasons and for the fact that a lot of modern Viruses these days are targeted at XP and soon Vista.... :rolleyes: But yes, why does it need to use soooooooo much CPU and memory when it doesn't need to??? At the moment I have 66 processes (I try to keep it down to ~50, but they seem to go up and up on their own!!!) using 1143MB out of 1372MB of Ram and Virtual memory, with IE6 using most of it!!! It's stupid!!! My laptop is a decent spec, Cel. 2GHz, 512MB ram & a 40gb hard drive, yet now it's running as slow as a 386!!! Same laptop but with a 30gb hard drive, & Kubuntu, it flies along!!! :eek: So, yes, let's all ditch Bill and stop lining his already bulging wallet!!!:-Nooo [/QUOTE]
