August 4, 200619 yr *looks at RAM* Ouch dude. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
August 4, 200619 yr 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)
August 7, 200619 yr No eye candy? Might as well run Win98. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
August 7, 200619 yr 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. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
August 8, 200619 yr 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.
August 8, 200619 yr 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.

August 8, 200619 yr 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.
August 8, 200619 yr 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. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson

August 8, 200619 yr It is so, Deraldin. I played RA2 and Yuri's Revenge yesterday. RA1 however doesn't work Edited August 8, 200619 yr by Xard How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

August 8, 200619 yr It is so, Deraldin. I played RA2 and Yuri's Revenge yesterday. 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.
August 8, 200619 yr Oh really? Great! I'll check it out sometime How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
August 8, 200619 yr Oh really? Great! I'll check it out sometime <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Instructions for both C&C95 and Red Alert installation in WinXP
