My two cents, Harry.... Just upgraded from ME to XP Home on a four-year old
Dell. Wife and daughter both needed XP to run newer software, otherwise I
would have stayed with my very reliable ME. Had to add RAM (simple). But,
spent many, many hours replacing drivers, reinstalling software, etc.
Upgrade also scrambled my Kodak picture collection. Yes, my new "XP Dell"
runs beautifully, but it took me a while to get there. I'm guessing an ME to
2000 switch would be a hassle, too. So, I concur with Mike Maltby -- unless
forced to make the switch, stay with ME until a new XP PC comes along. Or
maybe your timing will be right and you can make an even bigger jump to the
new MS OS (Vista?) Joe Starin

From now on in I'll ignore their recommendation(s) and make up my own mind
upon their findings 'only'.
Thanks.

and sooo much 'wiser' now.

Ah - the 'old' Aida 32?
I can't remember the last time I ran that on an ME system that was high
enough spec to take either Win2K or XP.
From memory the 'way to improve' at the bottom of most of the pages
should
be taken with a few grains of salt - IIRC, I ran it on a 512MB system,
and
it recommended adding more RAM to speed it up

SiSoft looks beautiful to me and works just as nice, Noel, but aida32
was
the cause of my inquiry.
No *strike-out* here.

Upgrading to Win2K from Win Me is unsupported and whilst it can be
done
is
not recommended by Microsoft. Personally I wouldn't bother, stick
with
Win Me until you get a new PC with XP.

My question:
Is this step worthwhile compared to installing WinXP Professional

SP2 instead?
