My brother in law is purchasing a PC. He has been given the choice of Win 98 SE or Win 2000 to come with the PC. Which should he go for?
PC is a Pentium 4, 1600mhz, 128MB Ram and 40Gb hard disc drive. I only have Win 98 SE and don't know much on the Win 2000, to be able offer him advice.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Wrexy.

Just to echo Suba, much improved driver support as well under W2000. Plug and Play works more often than not on 2000.
Driver support for W98 is already starting to disappear.

I used to dual boot W2000/98SE.
Last re-install but one I left a partition free for Win98 and never got round to re-installing it. Last re-install I've gone with W2000 only. MOHAA and UT both run great under W2000.
I've got XP Pro on my laptop and I'm well impressed so far. It comes out of hibernate and is ready to use before my desktop PC has even finish POSTing.

Thanks for all your advice peeps. I'll pass on all the info to him and I'll also advise him to go for the Win 2000 pro. It's mainly for home use so it should be fine, going off the advice you gave me.
