Need advice
Hey guys,
I'm using an older pc, AMD k6-2, 450mhZ, 20GB, 196 MB RAM but with a cheap PCI video card. Would it be possible to run Win XP on this machine or just format and reinstall Win98SE? |

I'd stick with 98se. XP would run but not as well as on a newer machine.

I agree with pr, I built a pc for a friend two years ago with similar specs (Soyo 5EMA Pro, AMD K62-500 proc, 40gig hd, 384 mb memory, and an ELSA Erazor vid card). He recently decided to try XP and it ended up being VERY sluggish. With all the eye-candy turned off, it was stable but very slow. I ended up reinstalling 98SE this morning.
