Xp Sux

[sicko]

okay I ask everyone whats the best OS and everyone says XP XP XP whats so good about it?? its too damm slow I had 98 Me win 2k and they ran twice as fast anyway to speed it up??

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

XP is optimized for the P4 and really, really good systems. I like it but wouldn't dare put it on my other, older comps. 98 SE works just fine on them. Some say 2000 is better though i've never tried it. :)

[The Great Dude]

It works good on a fast computer. I still like Win2k though.

[ooo]

98se << least errors&#33;... they actually put effort into makin it... wat about longhorn? wats the deal with that.... i don&#39;t follow the windows.... sigh... 2000 is hard enough already... well not really... just too much USERS >> i hate all this administration stuff, etc. folders.... so confusing...

Longhorn was suppose to be the SP3 of XP but since the alpha was leaked, they&#39;re going to make it a new version.

every new os is mostly just a service pack with a price tag. :D

i read sumwhere that longhorn is another os release but when it was leaked, MS got pissed so they cancelled sp3.

I have XP Pro installed on my "browser &#39;puter" that I use to surf with and test- software and games-, so I can experiment and not have to worry about losing any information. I experiment to the point of system failure so I can see what the OS is made of. Just format; install; and do it again & again...lol

It is a 3 yr old compaq:
PII-400MHz
320M of ram
4g hard-drive

1st of all, I can say that extra ram is a must&#33;&#33;
I cant believe people buy new &#39;puters with anything less than 512M of memory.

Anyway, after installation it was very buggy&#33;&#33;&#33; downloaded and installed SP1....Wow....what a difference....finished getting all the updates and it ran great on this &#39;one legged vet&#39;--- (its ok, I&#39;m an ex jar-head). I was a 98SE die-hard; yes I tried the rest, wasn&#39;t for me; but will never go back now&#33;&#33;
XP gets my vote.
The only major difference I can see between home and pro are the networking capabilites...less buggy on pro.


Just my opinion,
Steve

-never upgrade-

always get a new comp if upgrade is a must.

Either way, lol, M&#036; is going to make some major bones with it to the gullible ones (even some of us might upgrade lol)
:teehee:
@kAb: That&#39;s what my dad thinks. It&#39;s a good idea when my dad tries to upgrade something though :lol: :P

XP is awsome, but you need a good spec to run it as its &#036;hit and very slow on the older pc&#39;s with not much

Ram or &#036;hit Processor. ;)

[Schmiggy_JK23]

ya, id say if u dont have 512 ram, and at least a 1.2 ghz processor, just leave xp alone, it wouldnt be worth it prolly.

I have 512ddr, and a 2100xp,and its smooth as a baby ass.

gonna add another stick of 512 i think, cuz when i burn shit, eveyrthing else lags a bit.

Check out TweakXp (http://www.tweakxp.com). They have lots of tweaks that helps XP in more ways than one, especially performance wise. Just use the Tweak & Tip Database category to the left side. B)

I think getting a better computer is the only way this guy is going to be happy.
he is oviously looking for a BIG speed boost.
but try turning off all the fancy visuals at your system settings ;)

If you have a slow processor, don&#39;t even think about getting Xp, it&#39;s way too slow. Use win 98 or win 2K (and i prefer win 2K ...)
it all depends on the hardware you&#39;ve got...
