Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Ok, the difference between a CD player and and MP3 CD player is that the MP3 CD player is capable of playing back a CD that contains MP3s (meaning it can decode the MP3 files, usually they are capable of showing Song Title etc. as well).
As for which OS is better... I feel that between the two Windows 98se is the better choice. I've never had good experiences with Windows ME and I don't know anyone really who has. It was a bad mistake on Microsoft's part in my oppinion. Serious compatability issues etc. for some people.
