Even with only 48MB :) But win 98 is in my view a super bugfix, it makes everything much more stable. ( and a bit faster and a bit more convinient. ) And you can still use more or less every program ever made for the x86, whish I belive gives you NT users a lot more problems! How are you doing with your NT and Chessbase? Did the service pack help? ..and by the way. SP4 is on its way! Torstein
