Win98 running only the bbs should get by with maybe a weekly reboot, windows 
itself is pretty stable, it's the software run on it that is often the 
problem... I run win2k because stability means a bit more to me, and works a 
bit better with the network here at the house.. my hardware is a bit faster, 
and many doors still will run sluggish...

Many of the worst offenders (sluggishness in nt based windows) for doors are 
some of the most popular.. on that hardware, would suggest win98se...
