Does it rock or not... Is the switch to XPpro a good thing or ?????

Upgrading for the sake of upgrading is not always a sound decision.

1. Upgrade when they've work out the bugs.
2. Upgrade when the feature set is enhanced so that your functionality is drastically increased.
3. Imagine wasting an entire afternoon just to waste an afternoon.
4. Will this upgrade let you do more of what you want, less of what you want or more of the same? The answer to that will determine your outcome.
5. I don't need surround sound. No, not yet. I have no DVD burning capability and can't do the advanced CD formatting yet. I've not had a single client in my market ask me about marketing themselves that way. I don't really want to learn a new user interface personally, I'm just getting functional with the one that I have.

CHANGE FOR THE SAKE OF CHANGE COSTS ME MONEY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. :sad:

The choice is up to you. If you're looking to make a change. Spend $25 and go Win98lite. It will make your system scream even with a new P4 and upgrade your memory to 2GB if you're MOBO will support it. You'll see the performance advantages there with out changing the front end. You've got another 2 years of support left in that life cycle of that OS anyway and probably a little more beyond that for the software vendors since most of their products are native in the Win98 environment and devlopment---a lot of people in the devleopment world haven't upgraded to .net yet! :confused:

I hope that this helps. I was hoping that CW and Cubase would be ported to Linux last two years and save me the trouble of upgrading my OS but that didn't happen since BeOS went under. They were in the forefront of it all with that BeBox. Bumer. I don't like Microsoft. Bill Gates is a brilliant man and everything at taking ideas and distributing them and stealing them. I think in some ways he's evil. :evil:

I would not put 2GB of RAM in a win98 based system. Also here is some official MS talk about RAM -> http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... US;q253912

XP Pro is excellent

hey you have to tweak your OS a bit, but thats not just with XP, thats a general thing.

Read all the threads about optimizing XP for a DAW.

I love it... no crash, super stable. I HATED 98.
