W98 question

I'm looking at some possible computers to buy, which still has the option of windows 95, while 98 is standard. It's a 400 PII , Diamond monster II (Voodo 2) 12 MB \ Real 3D Starfighter AGP. 64 RAM 32x CD and 6.4 GB HD will a lot of the problems I hear about people upgrading to W98 (games suddenly not working) apply to a computer not upgraded from 95 but with 98 in from the start. thanks

That's a nice PC: almost just like mine. I too wasn't sure about installing Win98 at first. I choose too because it will support future "technologies". For starters, the GPL demo didn't work. Appenrently, there's now a way to fix that. Also, I had some problems running Nascar2 initially. I'm not sure that this has to do with Win98, though. Nascar2 worked perfectly on my old Win95 equiped P166, so I'm not sure that the problems lies with Win98. Every other games work perfectly. I have a PII 400, a Stealth II G460 (i740 chip), Sound Blaster PCI 128, 128 meg Ram, Monster 3D II (12 meg of RAM), 24X CD, 8.4 Gig HD. Philippe Sergerie

do you know of any problems running gp2 with win98? The reason I ask, I have just ordered a new p2 400, and it has win98 standard. I think I can get n2 and f1rs, and icr2 to work, but I haven't heard one way or another with gp2.

Concerning the question on GP2 no it does not affect it so i have seen. Michael West. >I'm looking at some possible computers to buy, which still has the option of
