This article presents the major advantages and disadvantages of an upgrade to the new Windows operating systemand the one other option you have : skipping Windows 98 and going directly to NT. But more about that later. If you're still running DOS or an early Windows operating systemWindows 3.0 or 3.1 the answer is simple : Do it ! You have everything to gain and nothing to lose. But if your computer is equipped with Windows 98s predecessor, Windows 95, the answer is a bit more complicated. Even those who dont know a bit from a byte must address some technical issues before making a decision. While there are good reasons to upgrade to Windows 98 from Windows 95, there also are some good reasons not to. Your final decision will depend on how you use your computer and what software functions are important to you. While its become a clich (and certainly a truism) that you never should install a brand - new version of any program, that does not fully apply to Windows 98. Although Windows 98 has many new functions, its really the same old Windows 95 with many enhancements and the old bugs fumigated. Thats not to say that new, mutated bugs wont appear, but considering the intense testing Windows 98 has undergone by thousands of beta testers (both computer experts and ordinary users), serious bugs are unlikely. By serious, I mean bugs that will crash your computer ; at best, any new bugs likely will be minor irritations such as when, under very unusual circumstances, a command won't bring up a certain function. Before you can even consider installing Windows 98, you must first check that your computer has the hardware muscle to handle the new operating system. As a practical matter, youll need a computer with a Pentium processor and 16 megabytes (Mb) of RAM. Dont believe some claims that you can run it on 8 Mb of RAM ; it may run, but very sluggishly. In fact, 32 Mb is better and 64 better still ; adding more than 64 is not especially helpful unless the computer is doing special duty, such as working as a network server. Youll also need a CD - ROM drive because Windows 98 comes only on a CD. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
