P4 2.2GHz and D845BG Review

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 ;)

    I first ran Linux on a 386SX/16 with 4 Mb of RAM, and let me tell you, 10 hour kernel compiles were a fact of life, and running X was a fucking nightmare.

    So spare us the bullshit about how bad Windows 3.0 on a 386SX was, okay fuckface? And by the way, FUCK YOU for never accepting my story submissions.

    It's physically impossible to run XP that fast. Especially once you start running programs.

  4. I am sick of all this anti ms crap! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am sick of all the anti ms zealots here. They hear each other repeat it enough they actully *almost* believe it. But then along comes reality and all they end up proving is how silly they are.

    Here is some truth these posters don't want you to hear:

    Microsoft will continue to dominate the Desktop.

    Microsoft is and will continue to gain momemtum in the corporate server side.

    Microsoft will become "the" major player in CRM. (White Plains)

    Microsoft is taking on the task of developing home based computing in ways no OEM has even thought about.

    Dot Net isn't a buzz word, it's the future of the Internet. (Like it or not, learn to deal with it.)

  5. Bah... by Nameles · · Score: 1, Troll

    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).

  6. Re:boot times by hoyosa · · Score: 0, Troll

    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!

    CmdrTaco's posts are all trolls to cater to the insane linux fringe. Give it a rest already taco and go back to coding yourself into a hole. You loser.
