hehe LOL @ Clocker

I forgot to add that with more RAM (256MB should be plenty) that system will run XP fine without all the bells n whistles; the ones where I worked were slot1s - 333 and 500 IIRC.

With many all the advanced style options turned off, and with many of the services disabled, I got Xp to run perfectly on a PII 333mhz with 96mb of ram.
I was very proud of myself

Right, now lets see it crash when it tries to run like, windows update, or even the tour or something, lol.

The Win XP tour crashing, oh the irony.

Why are all you guys against teh old computers they arent that slow and dont crash that much...

I was running my old K62 333mhz 64mb ram for like a year with XP and didnt find it to be any slower than windows 98 was until i started to get BSOD's and had to upgrade the RAM to 128 then it was perfectly fine.

Now i have my newer computer and still use the old one occasionally.

I totally agree with you there.
There are many people running newer OSes on older system mainly because some software or hardware requires a later OS but they can't justify the expense of new mobo/cpu/ram.
It's ridiculous and childish to diss people in that sort of situation.
Basically, run what you can run and put up with the speed of.
