My first computer was an Acer Aspire, 300meg AMD K6-2 with a whopping 3gig hard drive. 
It came with Win98 (not second editon) and I never once had a problem. Never.  All 
games and software (except my Visual Studios compiler) run very good on it.

My second computer, a Comcrap (Compaq) Presario 5108US with a 1.2gig Amd Athlon came 
with WinMe and I had nothing but trouble with it. I hated it and I found myself running 
my restore CD every 3 months just to keep it running smoothly. 

I eventualy reformatted and installed Win2k, it works very well HOWEVER, it either 
doesn't play some of my older games well, or won't play them at all. It does however 
run all my business software very good.

No clue about XP. I do however have a friend that uses it and he swears by it. But 
he does say that just like Win2k it won't play some games.(if 2k won't play it, xp 
won't play it either.)

Even though I use my computer mostly for production purposes I do still like to play 
games so I run dual OS. I tried a hard partition so that the files from one OS couldn't 
be accessed while on the other OS but couldn't get that to work correctly so I just 
dropped both installations on one partition and switch back and forth at startup.

I haven't see the blue screen of death since I got rid of ME 8 months ago.  

Compaq software sucked anyway.
