Mac OS

linux

..j/k I believe win95 best suits this PC due to the low end processor it has. Windows 98 and NT , if installed, will work very slowly.

How about Windows XP LOL
no really id say keep Win 95

RZetlin · December 17th, 2002

Try Windows 98 SE.

T.O.F.K.A.Z · December 17th, 2002

Try Win95 or Win98 SE.

These should suite fine for that machine (it's called a pc dude (Mad must be thinking

)

**ammoQ** · December 17th, 2002

Linux or Win95B

Vahid · December 17th, 2002

stick with 95, because 98 tends to use alot of resource and with that type of system, you'll thnk windows 95 was the fastest thing there is compared to 98

**liquid** · December 17th, 2002

win95B or a really stripped down linux distro

(F)ragnarok(F) · December 17th, 2002

sticking with win95 is the best. my old pc was like urs n i tried installing 98se n its crap after the installation

Carnage · December 17th, 2002

Drachenfels · December 18th, 2002

cp/m 2

**Shiori** · December 18th, 2002

Ok, and wtf was that supposed to mean?

Mad · December 18th, 2002

actually, this "pc" isnt mine, its from my cousin, and he only uses m$ Word, Excel and internet.
thankz for the tips, ill stick with 95

**Kane** · December 18th, 2002

Shiori: CP/M is a very old OS. IIRC it predates MS-Dos

**ammoQ** · December 18th, 2002

The first DOS was a more-or-less a clone of the dominating CP/M from Digital Research.
