Nanite10 Posted November 4, 2001 I have a good old Pentium 166 mghz computer that was given to me the other day. I am going to put FreeBSD and a distro of Linux on it but I will need to put Windows 98 on the computer becauce it is native to me and I know how to do everything within the OS. I was thinking about using 98lite and maybe IEradicator on the machine and then putting something like Netscape or another web browser. Here are a few of my questions: 1. How well does 98lite exactly do in performance in business applications/games? 2. Has anyone used IEradicator on their system? How well does the system run afterward? 3. Both, in combination, how well would 98 run reletively to a standard installation with business applications/games? 4. How good is the compatibility with apps using these two programs? Thank you for replies. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted November 4, 2001 You're better off running IE on that Win98 box than Netscape. There's no "probably" about it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted November 4, 2001 When you're dealing with low-end machines it's ALWAYS good to use IE. Since it's a critical part of w9x it won't eat as many resources as Netscape. Besides, Netscape displays some html functions as pure shit. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted November 4, 2001 Since it's a critical part of w9x it won't eat as many resources as Netscape. The only way that wouldn't be true is if he intends to use Netscape 3... which would be worth a good laugh in and of itself, heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
