231899 2004-04-25 02:15:00 I need to choose what OS to install on a 100mhz Toshiba Laptop. It has 40mb ram and 1.2gb HDD and a cdrom - I can install WIN95 A or B, Windows 98, Windows 98se, Windows ME, All the WINNT Versions, All the Windows 2000 version, all the Windows XP version and all the Windows 2003 Server Versions. Which one would you recomend. It needs to connect to my Windows 2000 AD server Domain.

Cheers

231904 2004-04-25 02:45:00 Does IE6 run on windows 95 and MSN Messenger 6? dwnz2003 (5250)
231905 2004-04-25 05:41:00 IE6 dosn't run on 95. not to sure about messanger (there is a 95 ver) but there are better programs for underpowered pc's that can use msn networks.

i would go for 95b or 95c. 98se next choice but it will be very slow (exspecially if less than 64 meg ram).

231906 2004-04-25 07:04:00 If it needs to connect to the domain, I'd go with Win2000 pro. PoWa (203)
231907 2004-04-25 07:37:00 I'd recomment either Win98 or Vector Linux for that sorta hardware :-)

It is possible to get Win95 to use USB... I've done it once but it was a long time ago...


Chill.

231908 2004-04-25 09:08:00 I'd put win95b or win98( which is just fine). You don't need IE6 for web browsing, and the assiciated exploits, btw as there are plenty of good alternatives. mark.p (383)
