Terminator 101 | WOW!!!
I guess that you are right, win 98 gets slower in time.... Since I don't have money to upgrade, the only thing that I can do is to re-install win 98, and when I will earn some money, I wil buy the "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Full Upgrade" ........
Thanks for the help..... I guess that my problem is not the video card, or the RAM (I think that 128MB RAM is enough for Renegade). One last question: Why does this happen only to win 98? What about other ones? 95, 3.11, ME..... (many people say the ME sucks balls so don't worry about it)

ME is crap. It isn't stable at all, and you thought 98 had leaks. It also develops random "features" the longer you have it installed. My older sister had it on her Gateway computer she purchased. It didn't take long before she had me blow it away and put a fresh install of Windows 2000. 95 and 98 are much of the same. They both have this problem, the only difference between the two are some new features from 95 to 98 and some security fixes... but I believe the main reason why these two deminish in performance in time is because the FAT file system. It's just not as reliable as NTFS. Of course, everyone has their opinions, but I believe Windows 2000 is the best all around system you can get for slower (300mhz-900mhz) PCs. XP is great for faster computers also. Win98 was the best for gaming, because almost any game worked on it... unfortunately like we've been saying, you have to reinstall again and again to keep it running smooth. Sad but true...
