I could write a long post, but suffice it to say that I would write the complete opposite of the post immediately above this one.

I'd go with 98SE.

Best move I made in regard to operating systems, was to switch from Me to XP.
Me was a rushed out product so that microsoft could make more money off of the turn of the century/millenium.
Maybe it's more stable and faster now than it was a couple of years ago due to patches etc, but when I upgraded to XP, I saw an immediate improvement in the speed and stability of my machine.

From a techie site
"Okay, so why Win98SE? Certain upgrades to functions, newer versions of files, but most importantly, full use of the file caching system. When Win98 was being written, the programmers had no idea that MP3's and long video files would become so popular. The defauly caching system couldn't handle such big files and you would get pauses while the system loaded the next section of the file. Go to Start/Run and enter sysedit with Win95. Open System.ini. Under the heading [VCACHE] you will probably see nothing. With Win98SE you might see something like this:
[vcache]
minfilecache=2048
maxfilecache=12288
chunksize=256
There are other improvements, but this is the big one. (In my opinion, not worth it since you can change these setting manually in Win98 and Win95 -- but don't put this in Win95--it doesn't support chunksize.)
Okay, so why WinME. The most important difference with WinME is that DOS emulation was dropped completely. A big mistake, in my opinion. PnP was upgraded and streamlined -- but unfortunately, many of the things you could tweak with Win9.x are disabled in WinME. It's basically Windows for dummies."
As I said they're virtually the same. Stick with win98se and do the upgrades (although they may be hard to find since MS no longer supports win98se)

Been using WinME for two and a half years, and I can count all the BSODs I've gotten on my hands, my feet, and someone else's hands.
