>Well I run a slug "450" but with 512 ram and XP Pro works really well

99090 2002-11-20 01:13:00 For $65.00, you too can double your ram. Lots of it on TradeMe.

99091 2002-11-20 01:18:00 For $65 plus the cost of XP, i think i'd rather spend the $$ on something more usefull like more HDD space, or a camera (unless i get one for Xmas)....
Still i'll keep that in mind for when i got $$$ to burn!

cheers

99092 2002-11-20 01:21:00 the UPGRADE for many people is simply not a viable option, being that XP costs up $600, and needs at least 256 BM RAM to be effiectient.
Sometimes its best to just be content with what you've got.

There is a XP Professional Upgrade Academic version which is a lot cheaper :D

99095 2002-11-20 04:04:00 Got my XP Pro Upgrade for $200.00(+$5.00 postage) from TradeMe - nowhere near $600.00. Pays to look around.
I use P'Shop quite a bit and even my "slug" goes ok.
The whole point is that XP runs quicker with so much less problems than 98.
My fish swim so much faster and I don't see the BSOD (blue shark of death) any more.

99096 2002-11-20 04:05:00 XP running faster than 98 on your "slug" ... i find that highly unlikely.

Lo.

Feel free to come round and do a trial install of XP on the slug if you like!

Till then, i'll save my bucks, and be happy with what i got

:D
