i've found that the only goodmway of keeping your pc fast is regular maintenence.
that means, uninstall all the stuff u haven't used for a while, do a deep analisys defragment and registry cleanup.
and as the last resort, format the sucker

wow nice information jgweed.. but who use win 98 now rather than those who uses DOS or Gwbasic till yet..?

I sped my WIN98-SE machine up considerably by using a program called "WPCredit". This program allows you to access ALL OF THE CHIPSET SETTINGS !! -- about 20,000 of them. Keep in mind that mobo manufacturers tend to use rather conservative settings, so as to insure that their mobos work even with low quality RAM installed etc.
Playing with WPCredit I managed to increase my memory read speed by about 50% and increase memory write speed by 100%.

It's kinda obvious if you use 98/Me/2000 it's gonna be slow.

If the user does not have a point of reference with another newer machine. The only thing they can rely on is that it is slower than when they put it into service. Not just because it happens to be older hardware and an end-of-life OS. Comparing older hardware and OS it's obvious that the older machine will be slow. But if the only way you know is the difference between introduction to service and current operation this is a valid topic.
Slow is a relative reference. Not a distinction.
I don't get the underlined part.
