Installing WinXP Pro on a T20

[skgarach]

Is there advice or anything I need to install WinXP Pro on my T20 besides the actual WinXP Pro CD? Thanks.

nothing needs to be done, it works fine with a standard install. But you'll want to install the software the OSD software that shows things like volumn level when u use the buttons on the keyboard

Also, does anyone know if the T20 has the integrated Wi-Fi support (the antennae built through the lcd) Thanks.

i don't think so, becuase the NIC is in the mini-pci slot.

Another quick question...Right now i'm running Win98SE w/ 128 mb RAM. How well (or how terrible) will WinXP run? Am i better off sticking to Win98SE until i buy more RAM? Thanks for the help.

Yes

Windows XP Pro runs like a charm on a T20, as long as you have at least 256 MB of RAM. The T20 doesn't have an integrated WiFi antenna, though, as the T23 was the first model with that feature.

Oh, and you might want to get the latest drivers from this website.
