Ok all XP users should run there machines with windows set to run on performance if they are lacking cpu and ram - XP in it self uses a lot more resources than any other win OS So to change this go control panel - system - advanced - performance - settings and tick the radio button to set to run on performance and your machine will be faster all around and I run the 3 XP boxes all this way, my main PC is althon 2200 with a gig of DDR and dont miss the heavy XP graghic BS that it has... try it and you will see that it will work better..  |
Windows 2000 runs much leaner than xp and has most of the features...On one old box that's what I use and it runs perfectly without crashing. You can strip xp down to a win2k level, but why not just use 2k instead
(on a slow comp that is)
