OK, so I got a couple more of those ECS motherboards and the first one I tried works fine.
I have been installing Win Me and it is real fast, but it is extremely easy to completely break the system. Install the wrong patch, it goes bad. Install SpeedFan, won't boot without crashing.
It goes fine, but I usually have to reinstall every day. I am having issues with hard drive corruption. Not sure if it is caused by Windows locking up and having to do a forced restart, or the incredibly ancient 40gb hard drives I am using failing.
Windows Me is nice in that it boots and shuts down extremely fast and has a very nice interface, but the stability seems to be sub-optimal. Maybe the FAT32 drive structure is not as good. I think I need to find a more reliable hard drive.
