Hey, I'm glad to see the addition of the WinME section to pcmech. Been reading all the good stuff and just had to toss in my two cents. I got hold of a copy of WinME a few weeks before the release date and did a clean install on my puter and haven't looked back since. i've forgotten what the BSOD looks like as well as the annoying sudden lock up's. Now that I've been using it for several weeks I've experienced a few minor crashes (all self inflicted of course), however, one of ME's features I've come to love is the "RESTORE" thingy. After I've installed anything new to my system, I run it for a few days and create a new restore point if everything is working good, I also create a new restore point just prior to installing new software/hardware or doing any major tweaking. This way if anything goes sour I'll be able to get it back to ship shape. Anyway, it works great and I think I'll keep it

My sys specs are:

AMD Athlon 800 OC'd to 1000
KA7-100 mobo
256 Mb PC-133 (crucial)
40 Gig ATA-100 7200 RPM Maxtor
Acer 4x4x23 R/W/RW
Afree 10/40 DVD
Creative Riva TNT-2
Creative SB Live

This puppy screams .... I love it !! (I can't believe I built the whole thing ... haha)
