    Post Win ME light

    well my dad got the new version of win me light (they updated it to work w/ ME) and i'm going to test it out on my future carputer, anyone have an idea of what should be striped on ME and anyone know about how fast it should boot up w/ a 500mhz amd k6-2 and 64mhz ram? thanks

    PS i'll keep you guys posted on how the ligt version works w/ ME...hopefuly it'll keep the short boot up time and cut it down even more.

    hey agin,

    well it's a little bit more dificult to install then a regular instal of ME but not bad. right now i'm useing the chunky install (3rd largest of 4) and it works great...it cut my bootup time from 1 min 10sec-ish to sub 40 sec this is on my amd k6-2 500 w/ 64 meg of ram...i'm planning on trying the smaller 2 settings and decide what i prefer for the car setting...but anyway you cut it 30 sec w/out tweaks isn't a bad for $25.

    i'll keep you posted when i get the other settings tested out

    I bought a new laptop yesterday with ME--hibernation kicks butt! 9 second boot time! 9 friggin seconds! But, unfortunately, not all systems can hibernate. Now, I'm not the kind of person that thinks Bill Gates is a man of honor and integrity (where's a pie when you really need one). I really thought that ME was going to be windows 95 version 3.0, but they really have made major improvements.

    on a side note, I always thought that it was "Windows M.E." Well I found out yesterday that MicroSoft calls it "Windows me"
