Hey, i was just wondering if WinXP would work on a p2 333mhz computer. I know it meets minimum requirements, but i mean will it be really slow or what?

How much RAM do you have. You can get by with 128K, but it willbe slow and really needs 256K, 512 makes it smooth.

It will run faster than on 98, if set up right, and you have, say, 256megs ram.

You need to have at least 256mb of ram. I know the minimum says somewhere from 64mb to 128mb but XP will be incredibly slow.

Believe it or not.... I had in my shop last week... a Celeron 400Mhz with 64MB running XP home... it was slow.. but not as bad as I thought it might be.

It will make a great browser or file server. If it had a 9700, it would make a great gamer...
