Can someone really use that OS? WinME is really bad product and support for it was really bad. Win98SE / Win2K was much better choice at the time! [/b][/quote] Well, I managed to run many games such as Unreal II and serious Sam on the OS. Never had any trouble with viruses except for a boot.ini killer that i got through a bad download. I must say though that overall it seemed like a stable platform and, like I said, wasn't targetted by free ranging-viruses after XP came out. |

I used only 64 MB of ram the first few weeks I had WinXP, but after that period I installed more ram.
It was all running very slowely, but I can give you one golden tip on how to improve speed in such cases (swapping most of the time): Install a new harddisk (a small one, 1 or 2 gig), and put the pagefile on that harddisk (instead of the harddisk where winXP is installed). It helped me a lot, really! My computer has become much more faster. k: |

Wish I still had the pic of the 575 booting. It did work, I can tell you that.
Well, depends on your definition of work. LOL |
