I'd go for Win 2000 too, I moved to it from 98 and so far had only two crashes (blues screens) since it was released..(is it 2 years now) i've found it to be much much more stable than 98 and better suited to 3d work....As for ME i get mad thinking about it LOL my lap top has it on and its crash city so thats getting win2k on it too when i get a chance ;o)....Steve
