I'd go with 98SE, or 2000 if you can find it. I switched from ME -> XP on my old PIII 666 and the speed INCREASED and crashes decreased.

WinME. Just comparing the computer I have at home to the school computers... ME is infinitely more stable.

If you have a choice, though, get XP.

98SE. ME leaks memory the way a nuclear explosion leaks a mushroom cloud.

Don't forget that stability is also related to the quality of the hardware.

Neither. I moved from 98 to XP on a PIII 450. 98 wasn't bad but XP is fine (never used ME and don't see any need to now).

I know a lot of people have bad experience with Me. A lot more than those have bad experience with 98SE.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

WinME has a serious memory problem. I had it on my old box for maybe . . . a week before I removed it and reinstalled 98SE. This same box had no problems running Win2K. ME blows.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

on a related note, i downloaded an eval copy of virtualpc, and damn, if it's not cool. installed win98, win95, and msdos6.22/win3.1 on three different virtual pcs.

win98 is stable as a rock, but i haven't tried installing winme yet.

Full PM-box? Change here!

I'm still happy with 98SE.

OK, I can't have USB2.0 or more than half a gig of RAM - but there were a couple of bits of software that wouldn't run on ME for my college course.

I'd agree with Bebro - 2K Pro is better than either but I really can't afford to upgrade just now.

well, running win95, win98, and win3.1 all at the same time atop of winxp, all three of those boot in less than a minute, and whenever one's in focus, its smooth and fast as silk.

of course, this is on a 1.7ghz / 768mb ram machine, so your mileage may vary.
