Which OS is the best

[nikhilverma]

System Specs:

600 Mhz, 192 MB Ram, 50 GB harddisk, 5MB video memory

intel 810e motherboard

what else?

Should be fine, but how can you have 5MB video memory?

I think he has got it wrong.
Nikhil it shoud be an even no.(2^n).
Use a benchmarker or something like that to find out.
Ur is probably 8mb.

Nopes.It will be 4 MB memory as he uses intel 810.

While installing it will give u a warning that it has not passed the certification test if it's less than 16 MB.

That is not right.

Well here is what my card manufacturer has to say:-

A note about the KPLE drivers

Microsoft's recently changed their requirements to a minimum frame buffer of 16MB, however KPLE's maximum frame buffer is 8MB. Therefore, KPLE drivers can no longer fulfill the requirements to get Microsoft's logo. TVIA will continue to update features etc of the KPLE drivers and release new versions of the drivers, without the Microsoft logo. Those drivers will present the user with an error message at the beginning of the installation procedure, notifying the user that the driver has not passed Windows logo testing. Users are advised to choose "Continue anyway" as the drivers will have passed stringent internal testing from VIA and despite the fact that they do not have the Microsoft logo, they may contain updates that are important to your system and are therefore better to use than the older drivers above. Back to the latest KPLE drivers.

All that says is that Microsoft won't give certification to that manufacturers drivers for their below 16MB cards.

It doesn't apply to all cards.

Windows ME have made the last 3 years of my life a living happy thoughts...it must hate me as much as I hate it! everytime I try install a new OS (normally XP Pro) it works sweet for 2 days then screws up!

i need a new comp BAD!

my P3 800Mhz 128mb with my 32mb Nvidia TNT2 just doesnt cut it anymore lol

oh well...time to start begging my parents again its been a while since i last did it lol

but anyway to help out with the question, from what I've seen on other peoples computers XP runs the best, all my mates have it and are yet to face any problems
