Hey I was running an old Toshiba Cely Notebook @ 650mhz with RAM maxed out @ 192 with XP Pro SP2 with all of the eye candy disabled and it was rock solid - not fast - but solid. Good mobile word processor - not anywhere gaming capable ...

 

Also it was WAY MORE stable with XP than ME ;)

I used to like my P4 a lot better when all was doing was playing my games...then I started playing with too many graphic applications and it feels like I need about 30GB of RAM and a SuperPC.

If one can not or does not want "eye candy" they are better off with something older like WIn98/95 or even DOS.

Or if they just don't want recent applications.

 

 

DOS? Yeesh. I wouldn't consider a somewhat functioning GUI to be "eye candy," but if I'd like to play pretty much any game (or application for that matter) in the last 8 years, you better be using at least Win9x.

 

Newer applications coming out no longer support Win9x anymore though.

actually I'm considering installing win98 on a secondary machine just so I can play C&C: Red Alert 2.

RA1 does work, but it takes a little bit of work to get going properly. You can get it to work if you make the installer run in compatibility mode.

Oh really? Great! :blink:

 

I'll check it out sometime :)
