AMD Atthlon 64 supported by ME ?
May I ask why you would want to do this? Your first problem would be to
find a suitable motherboard that has Win Me drivers, I know of none but haven't looked very far. Increasingly less and less recent motherboards include drivers for use with discontinued Win 9x operating systems such as Win Me. Depending on why you want to run Win Me on such a box you could always do what I am doing and that is to run Win Me in a virtual machine on such a box. I'm using Microsoft's VPC and using this have Win Me running on both an AMD 64 3200+ and an AMD 64x2 4400+. The underlying operating system on those boxes is however XP Pro SP2. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows Dietrich Stöckl wrote: Hello folks, does anybody of you now whether Win ME is able to run on AMD Athlon 64 or AMD Athlon 64 X2 processors?

Hello Mike,
first of all I want to thank you for your quick response! The reason is very simple: I want to avoid to buy XP - nothing else. What you have written in your response to my posting, has convinced - me more or less. I will leave ME behind and take XP. Dietrich "Mike M" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Dietrich,
I don't think that you will go wrong by installing XP. XP is a far more stable and solid operating system than Win Me with the one of main reasons for someone wanting to run Win Me being that they have software that only runs on Win 9x operating systems in which case it is more likely that they need Win 98SE as it has real mode which was removed or rather hidden in Win Me. The remaining Win Me users tend to be using legacy hardware that is not particularly suited to running XP. I hope all goes well, -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows Dietrich Stöckl wrote: Hello Mike, first of all I want to thank you for your quick response!
