I read on Microsoft's web page the minimum requreiments for XP and it doesn't sound bad (really bad I mean) so I thought I should ask (please don't laugh): on a PII 350 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 6.2 GB free space and ... only that How fast would XP run ? I don't mind how fast DOSBox would run (on my mother's computer there is Win98 with Dos :Brain: ), but about other Windows software and games (old games; before 2001) I wouldn't like having to wait a really LONG time.

I do not think it is a good idea to install windows XP on that machine. In fact it is a grave sin if you do.

@Vinnyq12
Those specs are my mom's specs. I plan on using some of her components and some of mine, making a somewhat more powerful computer. @efthimios Sin ? Why ? I don't think the computer will go BOOM |

It will boot and function aslong as you don;t open more than 1 windows at a time.. )
but seriously, I don't recommend it, I ran it once on a PII 266 with 192Mb of RAM and it was hell.... |

Hmm... It isn't hell at the school. We sometimes use those computers if the teacher can't find the key to the other room with pIV.
What about Linux ? How fast would that be ? |
