I didn't do an upgrade from Windows 95 or Win 98, but did a "full install" of Windows Me. I don't have any of the problems i hear so often about from using Me. My friend also did a full install of "WinMe" and has no problems! After a fresh re-boot my System Resources are 96%!. (Note: I'am only using 64 Ram and an AMD 266 Mhz processor to boot!) I'am very happy with Me with none of the problems. Note: You should remove all the unnecessary start-up programs as with any Windows operating system for best performance.
