I got 2 computers set up so when friends come over we can play games etc. Its a sucky computer but its still fun...Its a AMD K-6 475mhz, 350ish RAM, nVidia TNT-2 32 MB PCI Video Card. Wondering what Operating System would work best on it for games...Let me know

Win95B would probably run really fast on that system.

Win 98se or 2000 would be fine, like Cricket said you could use XP but it might be slow. I haven't tried it on a computer that slow so I don't know. But I have heard of people running it on 350's with no problems.

Win98SE is the way to go. Forget about XP especially if your mobo has onboard audio and sound.

If its a dedicated gaming box, 98SE all the way.
