lol, nearly 90% of the gamers use windows 98 (w98se) because it does NOT use alot of memory, thats why i personnaly use windows 98se because i get advantage in games, but disadvantage on actually working on the pc such as writting on word etc, i do get crashes but hardly EVER in games, windows xp is a good os, but it DOES waste some memory/speed what ever u want to call it, go read reviews about changing os and the advantages and disadvantages, my friend tried xp and windows 98 and he got nearly 40% more fps by using windows 98. these days the windows 98 is used by people that want to get the best results in gaming.
