I took my dual boot box up to 1 gig of DDR and 98lite will start to initialize, then choke and reboot. Probably a simple fix, as I can get it to start in safemode, but I haven't sat down and fought with it yet... : And yah, that's MS all over. Unfortunately for them, there's this growing realization that you =don't= have to upgrade every 6 months. And a lot haven't been.
