I'm running into a brick wall in the process of planning a computer upgrade.
I wanted a new motherboard, processor, and 780 MB of DDR RAM. The problem is the memory management of various versions of Windows. I've been told that Windows 9x and ME have terrible memory management and won't use all of 780 MB of RAM. Win NT, Win 2K, and Win XP can use all this RAM and much more.
But I hate Win XP. And Win NT and Win 2K don't have the System Restore function which is something I hate to sacrifice. I seem to remember reading about an app that does system restore, but you have to launch it before installing new software. Does anyone know what app I'm referring to by name (and perhaps vendor).
