Etienne,
I’ve had my TP 600 as a dual boot Win98/NT4 machine for about 6mo. With
128mB RAM and the PII/266 processor I’ve been pleased with the performance
and stability under WinNT. IBM makes up for NT’s lack of APM support with a
utility. I don’t notice much of a difference in battery life between the two
operating systems. If you have the disk space, leave on Win9x and set it up
as a dual boot. I use Windows 98 for games and DVDs.
Regards,
Neil Halvey

Subject: 2 Questions about thinkpad 600 and windows NT and 98

Hello,
First may I present myself, I am a French speaking researcher in
Neuroscience. I bought an TP 600 with 96 MB RAM 6 months ago along
with a
port replicator station.
I use my machine essentially for text processing (Winword) data
analysis
(Labview and Pclamp) and Internet browsing trough a dedicated line.
Now I have a couple of questions concerning the TP 600. I am
considering
installing Windows NT 4.0 on my machine essentially for robustness
purpose.
My 2 main questions are
What about the speed compared to Windows 98
More importantly, what about the battery use in both systems ? With
98 I
could easily use my computer for 2h 30.
I have access to all the drivers and patches from IBM site.
