Re: Xp professional on a 200 mhz 128 mB ram rivia tnt 1 machine.

Yeah, extremelly slow. I actually made it to keep records of bills.

I was gonna put win 98 on it, but then figured why not try my luck?

I had to put parts from other pcs in it to make it to work... Esp. a newer cd drive...

It was hell to do it honestly.

Win2K Pro will run on about 64 MB memory after all updates before adding resident software, and it still has 2 years of security support. Or you could dig up some more memory.

Damn straight it was hell to do. It's on a Cyrix processor!

It would make much better sense to put 98 or 2K on it. The Cyrix processor sucks something fierce on a lot of applications. I've always been an advocate of Cyrix Instead, but it's been a long time since that's been relevant.

Re: Xp professional on a 200 mhz 128 mB ram rivia tnt 1 machine.

Hey, I once attempted to put Vista on a Celeron 500 machine with a pci geforce 4 and 256 megs ram, so I already have a death wish

I installed Vista starter edition, and did the trick that enabled machines with less then 512 megs ram, so don't call me stupid please

I wish I had succeded on that one. Now THAT would've been a sight.

But alas, the thing crashed in Vista
