I nixed Win98 because of its bad handling of memory. Would appear that it has a chronic memory leak that caused my machine to turn into a 486-66 within an hour.

Installing Win95 again has fixed the problem, unfortunately still in the tainted eyes of Microshaft. >I recently replaced an NT server with FreeBSD+Samba.
