Perhaps I didn't make this clear enough.

I do realise that is a very obvious statement, but you seemed to be critising ME 
for not having enough memory! The memory is completely unrelated to the O.S., apart 
from the minimum memory needed to run.

I am using a machine which runs both 2000 Pro and 98SE. I nearly always use 2000 
unless I want to run a 16-bit program, something 2000 can't do. I am thinking of 
upgrading the 98 half of the computer to ME, and making that my main OS. I realise 
you can't upgrade from 2000 to ME, even though ME came out slightly later.

Of course I might upgrade to XP instead, but I have heard many a tale of incompatible 
software and hardware, and I'm told that whenever you upgrade your hardware, you 
must re-register XP with Microsoft. There is also a limit to the number of times 
you can re-register. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This sounds like a lot of hassle 
for me, as I quite often shuffle hardware around and upgrade.

Any thoughts?
