| 167245 | 2003-08-13 00:08:00 | I seem to spend more time fixing, patching, looking for drivers, activating & general messing about with XP than doing any work with it. I work with ME, never needs patching, compatable with everything, fast, & reliable. If ME does crash, it is simple to get running again. XP on the other hand, crashes completely & needs reinstalling. The only redeeming feature of XP is that it is exellent at multi-tasking, but so was NT. I saw a copy of Windows 95 with USB support at a flea market. Maybe thats the way to go. Compact & simple :) |

| 167247 | 2003-08-13 00:28:00 | Wow what a contrast - my XP is the best thing since sliced bread - I'd never go back. Shame you're having such issues - have you got SP1? | Greg S (201) | ||
| 167248 | 2003-08-13 00:57:00 | My Xp is fine. I dont have SP1, and i dont want it either. | mejobloggs (264) | ||
| 167249 | 2003-08-13 01:38:00 | >My Xp is fine. I dont have SP1, and i dont want it either. I have XP and SP1 and never a minutes problem,one has to wonder what is afoot. |

| 167250 | 2003-08-13 01:48:00 | I still have PC's here running Win95, and they run fine. Microsoft wants you to run the latest and the greatest but its a free country... you don't have to. Just be aware of any security issues re the internet and stick with ME; if you want to of course. | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 167251 | 2003-08-13 02:55:00 | i have an ibm 133mhz with win95.it does everything my pc company 1.6ghz does ,faster 30sec start ups,5sec shut downs, thanks to sp1 i spend most my time waiting for it to start up, slow reaction times,slow explorer opening,as if i have no ram il keep my ibm aptiva for now i dont trust ME though. as for me,il take any older OS thats been patched,rather than a new raw buggy xp etc.. but xp came with this 1.6 .. Can u still get security fixes for win95?i heard they ended support recently. :^) |

| 167252 | 2003-08-13 02:57:00 | oh i forgot, the only thing my 1.6ghz does ,is play americas army1.7 and tribes2 online,but then my crazy internet connection prevents that :P so yep,my 133mhz does basicaly the same ..u just gota use programs that are okay for slower pcs. |

| 167253 | 2003-08-13 03:11:00 | One has to wonder why the bother making them faster,that said,I have found the reverse,you wouldn't get me back into my old 166. | Thomas (1820) | ||
| 167254 | 2003-08-13 03:21:00 | well,i wouldn't go from my 2200+ back to my 1700+ or back to my duron 1300,or my duron 1000,or my athlon 700,or my p3 450..... with each and every upgrade there has been a noticble speed increase,ive thrown and and given away for more sub 300mhz computers then i care to remember. |
