Re: [APML] Astrophotography Operating System

["Marco Lorenzi" <lorenzi@libero.it>]

Ciao Philipp, one the main drewback of Win ME and earlier version of windows
(98/95) is their inability to handle memory banks larger than 512MB. Even
512MB can causes problem with the stability of the system. If you have this
opportunity install Win 2000, I am using it from last December and it is the
more stable version of Windows I have ever tested. It handle all my
astronomy programs I was using on win 95 (former PC).
