To Win XP or not Win XP

Okay, that didn’t entirely make sense, so just ignore that second statement :slight_smile: Basically, I meant I would definately recommend if it runs fast enough on your machine.

Meaning : Xp it and you are doomed.

I’ll probably leave it until I get a new PC. It’s just a luxury at the moment.

I’ve had a lot of weird computers… My latest has been with me since I got it… It’s a Pentium 3 700mhz. Now, I have ME, and ME is underrated. My computer had a brain tumor and died one day, and I managed to get a slightly bigger hard drive after that. since then, the damn thing got slower and slower, and then it started to get better. Games had been crashing for a time, but all of a sudden my system got a jolt of energy (from where I am uncertain). Since then, it runs games such as GTA Vice City as well as my brother’s Athlon 1.4ghz with a Geforce 2 GTS. Mine was a Geforce 2 MX, slightly less powerful. Then it sort of ran away…can’t find it…

You should keep Microsoft XP, it lets you download Video games a little better, just make sure you have 80-160 Giga bytes. Thats when Xp runs to its best performence…But it does have its failures…<.<

80-160 Gigabytes??!

What are you talking about Winged Death? How can an OS let you “download games better”?
And what’s that about the GBs, I haven’t had SINGLE CRASH in 6 months with one 40GB drive and also see no difference in performance from friends that have more HDD space, Again I don’t see how that could affect the OS’ performance.

One thing’s for sure XP sucks big time…

The last 6 months it’s been the stablest windows version I’ve ever used. And I’ve used a lot. And for my system it’s the fastest as well, I get better performance than with the likes of Win98 even… Though it would propably be slower on my older pc.

Well, it probably does not help out the video games, but it does help out the Speed. Unless im mistakeing that for something else…Well, sure you are probably a computer Genius if you hadnt any problems for that long Alexander, responsible too, if you leave me with a computer and a few Video games i would proabably go to far. =) And as for the Giga Bytes, all of my computers have 80-160 and no less, got three hard drives for 50 bucks. I was lucky >.>

Ah,so you have more than one harddrive…

It’s just that I’ve been away of any news concerning new computers coming to the market,for a minute I thought I had missed too much …

You do know that you can get a single drive of 500GB in a machine these days, don’t you? o.O

(im gonna risk seeming naive)

No!

Well. You can.

!!!

Yes, and just think Gehnny boy, that’s 1500GB if you have 3 HDDs.

Holy mother of Orta!Yep my shining days are over…
I’m old now.
Excuse me,I’m gonna do what old people usually do, now…

Though, I wouldn’t really recommended it. Just think though, the PC of tomorrow…

Pentium 5 HT 5Ghz processor
3x 500GB 7200rpm HDD
3GB DDR2100 RAM (or whatever the bloody latest spec is)
GeForce FX 6200 256MB DDR graphics
24x16x8 DVD Re-writer.
21" TFT Monitor.

Obviously I just made half that shit up, but you get the idea.

:slight_smile:

anyways for XP - it runs best with at least 256mb, and it takes around 2-3gb space on your hdd. Coupled with the percentage cut windows pts on it, if you have a 10gb hdd then your left with only about 6gb for all your stuff… (then you got office to think of, photoshop, games x.x)
