    This isn't a Maxtor. This is a Quantum Bigfoot! Look at this man! It's a Quantum Bigfoot TX 8 gigabytes with IDE connection and MOLEX power support! It even has an LED and nostalgic drive spinning sound. It'll literally blow your face off with it's 5 and a quarter inch profile! Who has time for sissy hard drives that come with manuals and driver disks, man, we're badass we don't need non of that! It's so big it'll make your optical drives nervous to be around! Damn right! And if you got a dual drive setup you're gonna have to get your secondary out of there if you wanna fit this big boy in there. It's so big you gotta put it in the front! It's so fat it almost didn't fit! Slave it to the optical drive!? Oh hell nah! Bigfoot ain't no slave! Gimme that power, bitch! So there you go! Proof, you can turn this weak-ass rig into something crace!

      Ram is at around a limit of 2TB for regular x86-64 type machines. You can have more for example on blade servers that use multiple boards to have hundreds of cores and terrabytes of memory.
      So 32TB of ram is possible now.

      I think a lot of people who hate Windows Me haven't even used it! I feel the same thing happened with Vista, 8 and 8.1. People tend to hate something with an overall negative opinion, even without using it. Which is ridiculous.
      Have you seen so many people hating the Atari Jaguar controller? My question is. A system that only sold 250,000 units worldwide. Could it be that so many people had the opportunity to take that controller and test it!?

    4:24 - "Oh my God! It looks just like the Windows 98 Setup!"
    That is very true, as Windows ME was forked off of Windows 98, and is also why I prefer windows 2000 (based off NT Technology) over ME, and why Microsoft based all of the following operating systems off Windows 2000.

    Call me crazy but I don't get the hate for WinMe. Back then it ran quite well even with only 64Mb or RAM, I don't recall seeing blue screens until I used Windows XP and I didn't treat the installation very carefully : forcing drivers installations, playing with config files, and I was about 13 years old. The motherboard had bloated capacitors a few years later and ran fine like that until a mosfet burnt.
    I installed it again a few years ago on my 3dfx gaming machine and its perfect. I needed only a few drivers for the Voodoo 5 5500 and the sound card yet the system is a bit newer than WinMe.
    I'd say the main issue with WinMe is that it was advertised as a brand new OS while it was just a big update of Windows 98SE.

      ----
      windows me had another driver system added to it (nt style dll's) alongside the old vxd's. these two systems really didn't like cooperating together, but if you had most/all drivers in one system then afaik me ran alrighty. so yea whenever you had a good experience or not was a bit of a roulette dependent on the drivers, but absolutely possible (and if the drivers checked out then me was an objective, if small, upgrade from 98 se, aside from the dos access removal)

      @@slashed_out Actually, WDM itself was loaded as a VXD driver (NTKERN.VXD) on Win9x (i know, the irony) and it wasn't strictly a WinME thing either. Windows 98 (the first edition, not SE!) was the first to ship with WDM support, which in itself was backported from the then in-development NT5, which later became 2000. Even Win95 got some limited WDM support in OSR2, for USB mostly.

    I remember my friends having Me installed on their PCs of the time and and was pretty solid. I tried ME for 30 secs when I realized there was no DOS mode so I switched back to Win98 SE. Man on my dad's mini Sony Vaio of the time had ME installed and man it was huge pile of junk it blue screened like no body's business and Windows 2000 made the computer very usable. To me ME really depends on what Hardware you have installed inside of the thing.

      My guess is power consumption. If my physics is correct, it takes less energy to spin up a stack of 3.5” platters than a stack of 5.25" platters, assuming the mass of both stacks are equal. (Wiki: Moment of inertia). If anything, the standard might be thicker 2.5" HDDs in the near future (such drives can be found in some Seagate Backup portable HDDs)

    The third series of Bigfoot drives was known as the Quantum Bigfoot TX series. This series increased the drives' spindle speed to 4,000 RPM and upgraded their interface capabilities to ATA-66. These drives carried the higher capacities of 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB. Like the CY series, access time was advertised as under 12 ms. The 12 GB model is noteworthy for being the first hard drive to attain a capacity in the double digits of gigabytes. Quantum claimed that these drives could outperform many of the 3.5-inch drives on the market at the time.

    Do you know about KernelEx?
    it's a API wine style thingy that allows (in theory) to run 2000/XP/NT era shit on Win98 and WinME.
    Maybe you already know about it, maybe you don't, maybe you can make a video and try to run shit that wouldn't run on ME and see if it works with KernelEX

      Druaga1 there's even a compatibility database you can easily find googling "kernelex wiki" but there aren't many entries, but maybe you can find something there that you may think would be cool running on Win9X.
      I doubt stuff that is too new will work, but probably a lot of pre-Vista/XP-only stuff may work.
      Maybe you can try early XP-only games?
      Anyways, I also wanted to tell you to keep making videos, they are funny and entertaining and in some cases legit interesting stuff!
      I know small channels sometimes don't get enough love, so there.

      What you get down to is that Windows 7 was the last great OS made by microsoft. Windows 8 is a UI nightmare, Win 8.1 isn't any better, and Win 10 is a privacy nightmare and has bricked more parents' laptops then viruses.
