|Once your computer is assembled
and connected, you must partition the hard drive and install your
operating system. Although there are many operating systems
available, the most popular operating systems are Microsoft Windows 98 and
Windows 2000. Both can be purchased at your local computer or office
store, and various internet retailers such as: CompUSA,
and Outpost. It is always good
to make sure an item is in stock before purchasing it.
If you will use your computer mostly for Business Applications, such as Word Processing, Database, Internet Development, or Graphics, it is recommended using Windows 2000, since it is based on the NT kernel, and it very stable.
If you are using your computer mostly for home use and gaming, it is recommended using Windows 98 because it is more compatible with certain hardware and software, and has a lower cost.
