I am in thinking about reformating my hard drive and reinstall windows 98 second edition because i thinks its too slow from all the applications i installed that messed up my registry (i suspect that is the cause). Even though i got about 512mb of ram and am running a P3 700 megahertz computer, and have a 80 gig maxtor hard drive, it really laggs.
Does anyone might know of why its so slow, particularly why my music folder takes so long to open, even when i do not multitask? i notice that i would have to restart my computer to make opening folders fast again but then after a few openings of folders, it again is slow to open. also when i multitask, the computer laggs and i have to wait for it to catch up.
so i'm thinking about installing another clean (refurbished western digital) hard drive and using the old one as a backup. (side question, what is a more reliable brand, maxtor or WD? What HD brand is the best?)
What do you guys reccomend for my system, windows 98 or 2000?
Also is there any special files i have to backup to make my riocar and emplode to recognize my new "my music" folder?
any comments would be appreciated, thanks -Toan
