Check out the review." This setup might have a chance to run XP without it feeling like a 386/16 running Windows 3.0 on 4 megs of RAM. Allright, thats probably crazy talk ;)

    With my current setup (1.2ghz and 640mb ram) and my last one (800mhz and 256mb ram), XP still runs pretty damn smooth, even while running 20 some odd windows, running a server, playing music, etc, with both configs. Last time I was in Linux (Bah to Windows installs formating the MBR) with 800 and 256megs of ram, XP was still faster with those stats than GNOME was (I don't care much for KDE).

    Are you joking me? I recently set-up a little LAN in my house, with six computers running Linux and one for the family running Win2K. Everytime I would check a box or change something in the network properties, I would have to reboot. It was rather disappointing the number of times I had to reboot (not only reboot, but wait 5 minutes each time) to get my configuration working correctly. I would much rather be using Linux, where you really don't have to reboot!
