Win2k and XP wars END NOW

Recommended Posts

IIRC = "If I Recall (or Remember) Correctly", and the first time I saw that was something that DosFreak posted. I was like "WTF is he talking about?", and then starting taking apart his sentence for context.

150 and 50 is not a comparable difference- i get that difference by running the test 2 or 3 times after reboots on the same machine.


Thats what I get difference if I overclock my POS GeForce2 MX200 :P

What kind of performance difference (between XP & 2K) can I expect if I install them on a system such as this:

 

Intel Celeron 1GHz / 512Kb cache

256Megs PC100 SDRAM

Intel Integrated Graphics Processor (IGP)

Intel Integrated Gigabit LAN

RealTek AC'97 Audio

10Gb ATA66 IDE HD

 

I mean, it runs Win98SE slick as a greased pig, but will it run either XP or 2K worth a darn?

 

I ask, because my son wants me to reformat his system with a better OS than 98SE, & I'd like the general consensous from those who might know better than I...

 

(And no, I am NOT buying him a new computer! You want him to have better hardware, YOU buy it for him! hehehe)

XP will work fine. Throw at least another 256meg of ram in there and you'll be fine. I'd keep 98SE as a dual-boot tho.
