Will Memphis be more stable than OSR2? How does it compare to NT4?

Well,

I love NT4 after getting sick of running out of GDI memory and "user"
memory wiht
Win95 OSR2. With PowerPoint, Excel, Word and my thesis open - even with 128
megs of REAL
ram and some free - OSR2 would crash when system resources hit <20%. This
happens alot
when sorting references etc.

But enought og that. NT4 fixed it compeletly and was/is the best OS I have
EVER used (inculding UNIX) for
getting the owrk I need done. GLQuake runs great too :)

Problem is this: I liek to play games. MS has killed HAL for NT4 last week.
So NT5 is a long way away.

Is Win98 any better aty memeory and resource managment??? I can deal with
an occasional reboot. What
I cnanot stand is the ability to kill an OS by having too many windows oen
or OLE 2.0 containers.

Win98 is much improved in the areas you had problems in. I think it
would suite your needs as stated.
NTx will always be the more stable product due to the inherent
differences in structure, but the difference in stability between
Win95 and Win98 is remarkable considering Win98 is only about midway
through the beta cycle.

win 98 beta 2 has some slight improvements, I still perfer NT 4 for real
work and win95 for the games
