Fionavar Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 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 The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 No eye candy? Might as well run Win98. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 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. “Things are as they are.

Diamond Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 No eye candy? Might as well run Win98. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would anyone want to run anything older than XP SP2? Anything before that is no longer supported by MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Raven Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 If one can not or does not want "eye candy" they are better off with something older like WIn98/95 or even DOS. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything before that is no longer supported by MS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because some people have games that Windows XP does not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 If one can not or does not want "eye candy" they are better off with something older like WIn98/95 or even DOS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellester Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 actually I'm considering installing win98 on a secondary machine just so I can play C&C: Red Alert 2. Life is like a clam.

RA1 however doesn't work <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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.
