Ok, I have this situation:
Dual processor COMPAQ server with SCSI RAID 5 – 65Gb, 1Gb RAM, Win2k Server SP4 – and it has the role of File Server. Network cabling and switches are all 100MBit certified and atested (and WORKING OK).
Workstations are Pentium II 900, 256 Mb RAM, Win98SE and Win95OSR2 machines (all the same hardware and other software). Server is hosting a DOS aplication and I have noticed that Win95 stations are working A LOT better than Win98 but just in that specific DOS aplication. For example: 1 month accounting summary is prepared in 1 minute on that 95 machine, and it takes whole 5 minutes on Win98 machine. All workstations have SAME programs and SAME hardware and SAME settings. Virus and spyware free (clean installations).
Any idea ???? Please 🙂
