win98se runs as fast as win95 on a P-200 wid 32mb edo ram. i've personally installed and evaluated. win98se is hell lot better than win95.
hmm,yup it can run, i too am running win95 and win98se with ram 8 mb and 64 mb, on 486 and P1. due to 32 mb ram thought may be win95 would b a better option for him.
then its better if he chooses win98se If he's lookin for windows OS

your RandomAccessMemory is what keeps the speed up in the computer so I would try to up it to 256mb and go for 2000 or XP. I would'nt have the money so go win 98. :)

Wow..... Ok well, for the time being my programing is not platform specific. It is plain C/C++, data structure implementation type programming. Am just studying the langs. Have installed Win98SE and it seems to be running fine. THough I got the BSOD more than once. Used the Super VGA driver for the CARd. Dont know which company has made it though. . Will check when I get the time. It now gives me 256 Colors and the Dangerous Creatures theme is reminding me of the good old days of 2000, when I first used Win98SE! :)

Hey guys
Got an old Pentium Celeron 333 Mhz processor with 32MB SD RAM.

I am trying to get it to work fot my programming jobs etc...

What OS should I use?

there's no hitch. you can install win 9x/ME on your system and use it just fine! or you could even install linux on that config and use it as a router. old PC doesn't mean that you don't have any option.

as you say you intend to use it for programming, windows 98 shall be good enough.

Hey man your catch phrase is nice "You are a living magnet. What you attract into your life is in harmony with your dominant thoughts."

Neways, will try the drivers opt that infro_red_dude spoke about. Not now but in time I will try it out. Right now am doing a cabinet mod on that old system. Any advice?
