Okay, so I lost the registration key of Win95...

[Elledan]

...and I'm not sure whether I should be happy or not

Now I got a question: how will Win98 SE work on a P133, 32 MB RAM?

 

[Sacotool]

slow

 

[Sacotool]

it is useable though, just slow as hell

 

[Elledan]

Yeah, I realized that I better shouldn't upgrade to Win2k

Hmm, that reminds me: a friend of mine in the UK has done this once... He ran Win2k on a similar system, but with 64 (!) MB RAM and it even worked. Although he got so tired of waiting that he put Linux on it after a while

My dog ate my win2000 cd key. I shouldn't let him chow that.

Anyone can help me out?

with ram so cheap, just get another stick to boost performance!

I'm pretty sure simms are still expensive

I've run win98 and still do on a p90 system. With a lot of stuff installed, bootup takes roughly 6 minutes. After that, everything is functional though very slow. Though, I think its mainly the video card, as I don't do much with it except browsing and a bit of word processing.

If you have Windows 95 A, substitute 11197 with 11195. >>

What OS won't run slow on that setup?

 

[Elledan]

Thanks yakko, that worked just fine

Now I guess we should thank those lazy programmers in Redmond :/
