I have just reinstalled 98 after wiping XP. Anyway when I had XP I never once suffered with buffer underrun and the PC slowing down. I am using a 1400 celeron.

When I installed 98, the computer was soooo slow. It took 10 mins to write a cd at 40x speed.

I looked at the virtual memory settings and selected to choose my own amount on my HDs.

I have 5 HDs and this what they showed in the device manager:

C: 4396mb
D: 875mb
E: 8157mb
H -31186mb
I: 55mb

My H: drive has the most amount of free space but I can;t work out why is displays a minus before the space.

Can anyone explain??

Cheers

5 Hard drives :P

Anyway, was there any particular reason you changed to 98? (I just changed from 98 to XP) This works alot better!

I am not sure what you could do to sort it out, but I am sure you will!

btw, is your CDROM Drive Win 98 compatable?

Hope you get it sorted!

Winxp handles the virtual memory alot better then win98/me. BTW why so many hardirves?

Yeah, are they partitioned (also, why have a hardrive only 55mb)?

Also, try installing XP onto another drive, and dual boot. Try using it in XP, and check it out!

I had XP on a dual boot system. I used it because I did a lot of DVD ripping. I sold my DVDR so I thought I would go back to 98 as I had a few conflicts with drivers.

I have 4 HDs and 1 is partitioned. I store my MP3s on my HDs and like to get as much as I can onto each, hence only having 55mb left on one of them.
