Re:$279 and it runs great! (Score 1)

My system is a Pentium III 733 MHz with 512 MB PC-133 SDRAM, Adaptec 29160 Ultra160 SCSI host adapter, 2 Seagate Cheetah X15 HD's, Plextor PX-40TSUWi SC-ROM, Plextor PX-W1210S CD-RW, H/P C1533A DAT Tape Drive, Matrox G400 32 MB AGP video card, SB Live! Platinum, 3COM 3C905C-TX-M NIC, and a modem. All run just fine under OS/2, which also recognizes the USB ports on my motherboard. My system also has Windows ME on it. Under OS/2, I use less memory and swapping is not involved. Windows ME gobbles up almost all of my RAM and still has a 135MB swap file. OS/2 Warp 4 Fixpack 15 is faster and more stable than Windows ME. It has not locked up on me or crashed. Windows ME has done both. Between work and home I am using Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT3.5, Windows 2000, OS/2 Warp 3.0, and OS/2 Warp 4.0. Warp 4 is faster and more crash resistant than any flavor of Windows I have used.
