Re: Move on to W2K



Hi!

Natively WDM is on ME & XP,

Windows 98(se) is said to have support for WDM drivers. This is allegedly
why many USB devices don't work under Win95 even when you do enable or add
USB support...Win95 doesn't have WDM support.

But the video aspects may demand a greater GPU than MCA is
able to support.

Windows 2000 doesn't seem to expect too much from the video subsystem. Its
video requirements seem to be in line with those of Win98(se) and NT. I've
run it with low end Cirrus video cards and had usable results. It is
interesting to note, however, that Microsoft didn't bother fixing the "only
1MB of VRAM is seen on early Cirrus video boards" bug.
